re Microscopic colitis and LDN

[Guest guest]

Hi Beverly,

I was so pleased to read your health had improved so dramatically.

Thank you for your fabulous post - a keen observation, a proactive

response, and subsequently, enhanced potential to help others that follow.

I'd love to record your journey so far, in detail (that is, record your

health success story and create a case study from it) - so your story could

be shared forward through the next revision of the free LDN book.

If you'd like to contribute your story to next year's book, please email me

at casehealth@... so we can work on it together,

kind regards,

Cris

2a. Microscopic colitis and LDN

Hi guys: Thought I'd mention something interesting that is going on.

I started LDN in March (dx MS Sept. 07) and feel it is definitely

helping to stop progression of symptoms. But I also have an autoimmune

microscopic colitis since Jan 99 which NOTHING over the years has been

able to help. Daily diarrhea 4-8X day. Every day.

I had been hoping the LDN would help the colitis as well, but it

wasn't. Hoped gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free would help, but it

didn't.

Beginning of Oct. I noticed a vitamin tablet had passed thru me

undigested (sorry!) and got to wondering if my LDN capsule was breaking

down 100%. I know that generally capsules break down much easier than

hard tablets, but still I wondered.

So at beginning of Oct. I started opening up the capsules and emptying

contents onto my tongue, washing down with a swig of my good old gluten-

free beer (!!!) and within 2 weeks I started noticing a lessening of

the number of times per day I had to " run. " Within the last 2 wks I

have been able to sleep thru the night (used to get up 2-3X per night

with d.) Within the last wk. noticed a slight " firming " of the d.

Point is, I am seeing improvement--definite improvement. And this

after approx. 3,600 days of straight diarrhea. Folks, this is nothing

short of a miracle. I have even stopped wearing a Depend when I go out

of the house.

I will keep you updated, but if anyone out there is taking LDN for

colitis or Crohns and not getting anticipated results, you might try

doing what I am doing. I know LDN is supposedly rapidly absorbed, but

maybe my digestive system is so bad after all these years of diarrhea,

maybe I just wasn't absorbing it well.

I also noticed that one more symptom of MS (numb arms while I slept)

has gone away just since I started opening up the capsules.

I know alot of Crohns use LDN in the form of transdermal cream, and

maybe this is why. But opening up the capsules is no big deal, so I'm

going to stick with this for awhile and see what happens. It is VERY

bitter, but again, no biggee.

I'll let you know how things go.

Beverly
