Hi Mara - - reposting letter from Dr. Zagon

" To put this matter to rest, I contacted Dr Zagon for his views on dosing 4.5mg

x 2/day and the below is his response:-

" " Dear Jayne:

First, LDN is an immunosuppressant - not an immunostimulant (as thought

- wrongly - by many).

Second, we recommended a dosage of 3 - 10 mg/day based on

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.

Third, stress has nothing to do with LDN.

Fourth, I am seeing some people who become tolerant to LDN and need to

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.

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. :-)
