I cannot comment on any of your post, but it does remind me that I do have a

gynae question. I have uterine fibroids, would LDN be of any help in

getting rid of them? I am, at present, looking, hopefully, at being treated

with an MRI, which is supposed to burn them, or something, but there is one

they will not treat, because it is near my lower colon.

Ldn will not solve uterine fibroids,you should

look at the iodine Group.

I do know that LDN has been used to treat infertility. I suspect what might be

happening is tha tthe LDN REguLATES rather than boosts the immune system.

The Hilger's Institute uses LDN for some of their infertility patients.

BTW the Hilger's institute has good success treating infertility without using

IVF using what they call Napro Technology. Their methods are less invasive and

cheaper and with a higher success rate. They also try to cure the cause of the

infertility rather than just work around it.

Just FYI

along with the other drugs mentinoed above, will taking LDN from now until then,

cause problems? Can I take LDN at the same time as the other drugs/therapies or

should I cease LDN before commencing IVIg and Dexamethasone/Clexane?

is sleep all the time. I tried LDN about 3 years ago and it was the same

problem then. I was on a dose of 4.5mg then though, which is why we have

recommenced a 2mg this time, but it seems I'm having the same result. Can

anyone please offer any advice in this regard?
