It sounded like you wouldn't want to take 6MP concurrent with LDN, since 6MP is an immunosuppressant and would have opposing effect on immune system as LDN.

· Humira

Dr. Jill said to stop Humira for 2 weeks before starting on LDN.

And this was the reply I got when I asked the question if we had to stop Humira before starting LDN on the LDN website:

A person with Crohn's who receives Humira can begin LDN immediately (because H. is not a narcotic and thus is not contraindicated) -- however, Humira's effects in suppressing the immune system can seriously blunt the potential benefits from LDN (which should strengthen the immune system). The sooner off Humira, which is dangerous, the better.

Ø Cautionary warnings:

Because LDN blocks opioid receptors throughout the body for three or four hours, people using medicine that is an opioid agonist, i.e. narcotic medication — such as Ultram (tramadol), morphine, Percocet, Duragesic patch or codeine-containing medication — should not take LDN until such medicine is completely out of one's system. Patients who have become dependant on daily use of narcotic-containing pain medication may require 10 days to 2 weeks of slowly weaning off of such drugs entirely (while first substituting full doses of non-narcotic pain medications) before being able to begin LDN safely.

I believe that steroids, short term, are ok with LDN.

Lomotil

Lomotil is the trade name of a popular oral anti-diarrheal drug in

the United States, manufactured by Pfizer. Its UK BAN generic name is

Co-phenotrope.

Its active ingredients are diphenoxylate and atropine. Diphenoxylate

is anti-diarrheal and atropine is anticholinergic. Diphenoxylate is

chemically related to the narcotic drug meperidine...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomotil

Seems Lomotil contains narcotics which should not to be used with LDN.

Can LDN be taken with other medications such as tranquilizers or

chemotherapy? How about interactions with alcohol or tobacco?

LDN can be taken along with any other medication or substance, so

long as it is not narcotic-containing. Naltrexone is a pure opioid

antagonist and it will block the action of narcotics. Some examples

of narcotic-containing drugs are Ultram, morphine, Percocet,

Duragesic patch and any codeine-containing medication.

http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/further_q_and_a.htm

If by carbonate you mean calcuim carbonate as the filler in LDN

capsules then read the following:

Capsules of LDN necessarily contain a substantial percentage of

neutral inactive filler. Experiments by the compounding pharmacist,

Dr. Skip Lenz, have demonstrated that the use of calcium carbonate as

a filler will interfere with absorption of the LDN capsule.

Therefore, it is suggested that calcium carbonate filler not be

employed in compounding LDN capsules. He recommends either Avicel,

lactose (if lactose intolerance is not a problem), or sucrose fillers

as useful fast-release fillers.

Hi, Art

Does this mean I should not take calcium carbonate as a nutritional

supplement? I just looked at my calcium/magnesium capsules and that

is exactly what is in them. (I just started on LDN for Ankylosing

Spondylitis.) I appreciate your insights!

[Guest guest]

Calcuim carbonate must not be used as a filler in LDN capsules. It may

cause the naltrexone to be released slowly into ones system. Something

about the way it is packed inside the capsule. LDN must be released

fast.

I'm not Art, but I do know that Calcium Citrate is absorbed better as a nutritional supplement. I take one that includes magnesium and vitamin D.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to specify that you DO NOT want LDN in a Slow-Release Form.

Calcuim carbonate must not be used as a filler in LDN capsules. It may cause the naltrexone to be released slowly into ones system. Something about the way it is packed inside the capsule. LDN must be released fast.Art-->> Hi, Art> > Does this mean I should not take calcium carbonate as a nutritional> supplement?
