Re: Hi Mara - - reposting letter from Dr. Zagon

[Guest guest]

Okay - I'd seen that before.

I wondering where he was getting this from. Most people here and elsewhere

refer to LDN

not as an immuno-stimulant but an immuno-modulater.

pharmacokinetics. 9 mg/day - getting to the edge but should be okay - this

person may not be optimizing her dosage however. Remember - you only want the

LDN working for 4-6 hr/day - the higher the dosage the longer it hangs around

and the shorter the time for your endorphins to work.

take it once every 2 and some every 3 days. I can tell you that LDN can work

even as long as once every 4 or 5 days.

>>> I posted the link just before reading Jayne Crocker's letter from Dr. Ian

Zagon on another list saying that LDN is an immune suppressant. So I'm totally

baffled (???). All I can say is that it seems to have helped me a lot. :-)
