LDN for NPH ( normal pressure hydrocephalus)?

[Guest guest]

I have my 19 yr old son on LDN for Crohn's and he is doing fine. My 79 yr old

Mother has just been diagnosed with NPH. She was previously very active and

healthy with no prescriptions. The only treatment for NPH seems to be surgery to

place a shunt in your head to drain the excess CSF or cerebrospinal fluid which

is crowding the brain.

We don't know what has caused this but it is generally not thought to be

autoimmune. Anyone have any insight? We don't want to wait long to do something

because the more damage there is to the brain the less you are likely to regain

after shunting.

Thanks for any advice. I have enjoyed reading this forum and it has helped guide

me with the decision to get my son on LDN. So much great info on alternatives to

mainstream medicine but I can't find ANYTHING besides surgery for the NPH.
