Re: Liquid LDN solution: to shake or not to shake?

[Guest guest]

Oh, good question! I just assumed you shake it to distribute it, so that is

what I have been doing. Will be interested to have this clarified (no pun

intended)!

[low dose naltrexone] Liquid LDN solution: to shake or not to shake?

I've seen conflicting instructions on how to take the liquid LDN solution.

Some say that once the tablet has been dissolved, you let the " trash " settle to

the bottom, and just draw up the clear solution.

Some say that you shake the solution right before drawing up, so that you have

some of the " trash " in your dose.

Please tell me what is the right way to do this:)

BTW, I've been on LDN for Crohn's for about 6 weeks: 1.5 mg for 2 weeks, 2.25 mg

for 2 weeks, and now 3 mg for 2 weeks. I was ok when I started, but have gotten

into a flare since starting LDN

It is better for people with crohn to use transdermal ldn

cream.

If it is impossible then do not shake the bottle.

You must check good candida and there is special Group for

ldn and crohn that can help you better

I shake it when it's first dissolved, then draw off the clear liquid and throw away the deposit. Done it for well over a year now and it's fine - better than shaking it each time. Don't see the point in drinking fillers. MargaretFrom: Caroline <moonshinethreads@...>low dose naltrexone Sent: Mon, 7 March, 2011

Hello. I am a newbie. I don't even know how I got to group. ??//?? I have transverse myelitis. After reading posts which I thought were from my group about ldn I want VERY much 2 try it. I was diagnosed with tm in 2007. My life went from working full time (my friends said almost a work a holic as an independent behavioral therapist /social worker in an impatient psch hospital and outpatient office to wheelchair and home bound to dependent depressed. I learned 2 drive with hand gears (after almost running into house and 2 ditches) I had 2 go on disability which I HATED due 2 financial problems (but grateful for some income ) a big life change. Outgoing to becoming almost hermit like due to pain, fatigue , bladder issues muscle spasms sleep issues - I won't go on! When I started reading I started getting Hope!!!I don't know if I am signed up in ldn group. How do I ? Also -where would I find a Dr in the Memphis Tn area that would prescribe this 4 me. For the life I have now - well ......last 3- mts winter has really exacerbated my pain symptoms and I have to do something!!!!I hope this gets to group and someone tells me how 2 get in groupThank you Jackduv Sent via BlackBerry by AT&TFrom: "zahavi" <zahavi100@...>Sender: low dose naltrexone Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 16:45:41 +0100<low dose naltrexone >Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Liquid LDN solution: to shake or not to shake?

zahavi - If she is making liquid it would be a good indication she does not have a script.  Like many of us.

 

I shake.  But I do not seem to be as reactive/sensitive to fillers as some folks are.  I have been told that the naltrexone dissolves into the solution and stays in solution and what settles to the bottom is just filler and what they used to stabilize the med into a pill form.  So you likely do not need to shake and many do not. 

 

Sometimes folks get a flare when starting due to candida issues coming to the front.  It seems that as our immune systems work to right themselves a candida issue we might not have been aware of can now become more noticable and cause issues including blocking the LDN from working as effectively.  I treated for candida and found it helped the LDN work better and helped me to feel better.

 

Since most of us with UC/Crohn's have been on steriods at some point it is a sure bet we have candida - actively or quietly, but more than likely there.

Dr Skip (pharmacist) has said that while it is true that the naltrexone

stays in suspension once dissolved, and that the particles that sink to the

bottom are the fillers, he thinks concerns about ingesting those filler

particles are overblown.

What this means is that while a number of sources still tell people to be

sure to shake the bottle, there is in fact no reason to do so. What it

also means is that for most people, it doesn't matter one way or another if

you take the particles or not. If you can take tablets in the form of

prescription or OTC drugs, then the particles are not a problem for

you. If you're one of the small minority of people who cannot ingest

regular tabletting fillers/excipients, then those fillers in the naltrexone

tab will also be a problem.
