LDN

[Guest guest]

I have never heard of this drug…definitely

worth checking into.

Is this an ongoing drug remedy while on

the diet or just something you take to get into remission and then maintain

through scd?

I switched to our current GI because of

his openness to probiotics which I took as a hopeful sign of being open to

alternative treatments. I am hoping he is open to this or has at least heard of

it. If he has heard of it, why of why would he not mention it?

Should he not do that without doctor oversight? The Imuran is supppose to take

4-6 weeks before it is even " effective " so my concern is that in 4-6

weeks from stopping he will start feeling worse. Will being on the diet hopefully

negate that effect?

You should check out LDN. It works much better for a lot of us than then

conventional meds:

I used to be on versions of the same drug your son was on, and they never did

much or even

anything that I know of for me. LDN works much better for a lot of us with

lousy immune systems,

because it helps to modulate it back to health and increases our endorphins,

which people

with immune disfunction are generally short of.

It doesn't have a 100% record, but as I said, it works much better for many of

us.

Your doctor may never have heard of it though - or may be resistant. So you may

need to see someone else to get a prescription. You'll get a list of docs when

you

first sign up.
