Re: naltrexone (LDN)

[Guest guest]

My notes on low-dose naltrexone (LDN):

Indications and efficacy (w/specific cancers and other conditions):

effective for about 60% of cancer patients (very effective for some)

" On average, cancer patients have been observed to go into remission between 1

month and 6 months after taking LDN "

effective w/AIDS, MS, carcinoid, lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkins, NHL, melanoma,

myeloma ( " several members on [LDN] group with...myeloma doing really well " ),

neuroblastoma, breast, colorectal, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate cancer

(assuming NO antihormonal therapy), & renal cell carcinoma

“Cancers…reported by Dr. [bernard] Bihari to apparently respond to LDN " :

Glioblastoma [GBM], Lymphocytic Leukemia, Hodgkin's, NHL, Melanoma, Myeloma,

Neuroblastoma, NSCLC Lung, Ovarian, Pancreatic, Prostate [assuming patient

hasn’t taken hormonal treatment], Renal Cell Carcinoma, Throat, and Uterine

Cancer, Breast Cancer, Carcinoid Colon, Liver, & Rectal Cancer

“good idea to use naltrexone with any lymphoproliferative disease†(Gammill,

11/03)

" LDN is not likely to be of much use with aggressive cancers with distant,

multifocal metastases " vgammill@... 11/26/08.

" LDN is quite mild and slow acting....I don't expect much from it when it is

crunch time " Gammill, ScD, vgammill@...,

www.natural-oncology.org, 7/12/09

Ineffective w/patients who’ve had hormonal treatment (even herbal hormonal

treatment, like PC-SPES) (www.mbSchachter.com).

Synergism and interaction w/other therapies:

“There is no conflict between LDN and vaccines†Gammill, 10/12/05

“If [lymphoproliferative disease is] aggressive then metenkephlin can be

added…transdermally†(Gammill, 11/03)

“DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA)…increase the effectiveness of LDN [For more

You can't take opiate painkillers while on it.

Brands:

Can be obtained from compounding pharmacies.

I heard NOT to use Bigelow Pharmacy brand.

" to obtain LDN: http://tinyurl.com/2dfbvd "

Dosage and administration:

Use 4.5mg; take at night; don’t use time-release (www.mbSchachter.com).

" Naltrexone 3 mg/day seems to stop any lymphoproliferative disease. It takes

about 4-6 months though. " (Gammill 10/00).

" I buy my Naltrexone from the AllDayChemist but you must turn it into LDN on

your own....mix 50 ml of distilled water with one tablet in a small glass

container and keep it in the fridge. Each night before bed...shake it and take

out 4.5 mls using a dropper and drink it followed by water. You must also take

300-600 mg. of Alpha Lapoic Acid each day " cheryl.s.campbell@... 10/20/09

Side Effects: may increase pain
