FW: LDN and Antibiotics or Prednisone

[Guest guest]

Please pass this along - from our science advisor at LDNNow - I believe we

are all animal lovers. And a lot of you will know currently I'm big on the

TH1 to TH2 cells at the moment. Thank you. Passed on by Janet aka Garnet

Dr Steele MBE, talking about LDN

LDNNow, a patient and friend led organisation (so not a charity) with no

funding and no affiliation to any company or organisation, but rather a

group of concerned individuals focussed on improving the health of those who

suffer from the many diseases and conditions that LDN treats.

I hope this reaches the masses, if not pass it along please. Prednisone

is metabolized by a less specific mechanism in animals than in men, so I

will stick by my opinion that prednisone or prednisolone in felines

should be avoided. Again the th1-th2 shift is the specific mech of

action modulated by LDN and pred. Antibiotics really do down-regulate

the immune system. What the affect LDN has on antirx I don't know but in

the case of such a severe infection, my first inclination would be to

kill the bugs quickly. One would not want the th1 to be negatively

impacted, sometimes inflammation helps.

Dr Zagon says not to worry about LDN and Prednisone in any amount, that

it is not a

problem at all. I know it's hard to hear so much conflicting opinion,

but as far as I know

it was an assumption that they worked against each other and never

actually proven.

Never heard of LDN and antibiotics working against each other, in

all of

the literature

I have read on LDN this is the first I have heard about it?

If Dr Skip is reading the list I hope he will fill us in on the

mechanism of the conflict.

Perhaps it is new information or some how I just managed to miss it?
