Re:For the LDN Users

[Guest guest]

Yes, I do. I've been on SCD since mid-July last year, LDN at a very low

dose (1.5 mg) since October. I highly recommended LDN as a good

complimentary treatment to SCD. Having said that, one often has to treat

the candida separately. This has proved the case for me. I horsed around

for several months hoping I could ignore the doctor on this (not wanting

meds) but finally decided to buckle down and take the Diflucan, followed

by Nystatin. And I was amazed that I've had almost no side effects from

the Diflucan and after about a week started feeling markedly

better. The Nystatin may cause die-off, though I'm sneaking up on

the dose now in the last week of the Diflucan, but I sure do know it's

worth doing so I will do it regardless. Then I am quite sure I will

be able to raise my LDN dose.

I would definitely recommend that you try the LDN, too. Don't

necessarily start high, either. I started at 1.0 for a month or so, then

went to 1.5. I am sure I will be able to do 2.0, doubt my full dose

will be over 3.0 but we will see.

Any of you who use LDN have known yeast problems ?

I continue to struggle with yeast (we assume) despite 9+ months of

SCD (no fruit, honey, dairy, nuts), Rx and natural anti-fungals.

I bought my glass bottle when I ordered a bunch of vitamins & supplements at

ar-with-white-plastic-cap-4-oz . I've seen the same ones at other online vitamin

stores.

I got my oral syringes at Target. They gave me a 10 ML one (I fill it 5 times

for the water to mix with the naltrexone) and a 5 ML one for free when I asked

the pharmacist if they had any. I need to go to a drugstore and look for a new 5

ML though, because the marks are starting to wear off.

Also, don't forget to use distilled water.
