Re: Karyn:What's a fair trial of LDN

[Guest guest]

Karyn, thank you for your very informative reply. I cannot say that it made

me feel any better, when I visited the links you provided. Particularly

since it is very likely that I have contributed to my miserable emotional

position through alcohol abuse many years ago.

Yes, I had planned to " give it a go " , but, really, since I am flying on my

own, since doctors here in Australia do not seem to know anything about

LDN, I wanted to be sure I was not wasting my money and risking further

health problems a well.

I am still nervous about trying it, but, I have tried so many things, that

have not been successful, if it does not work, I will be down for a few

days, then start looking for something else, as I have done in the last 15

years.

I am most concerned about the dosing and having to buy from some supplier

whom I do not know, AND the having to mix it up myself worries me, in that

I fear I may either under or overdose, neither of which would be beneficial.

Nor am I particularly keen on cutting out carbohydrates, food has been my

only source of pleasure for so many years, that it does make it horrifying

to even contemplate cutting out he one thing that does make my life

bearable. Yes, I know, if I feel better from the LDN then it will be worth

it, but what if I don't. That is what is really frightening me.

Sorry, to be such a downer, but, I guess when you have spent the last 15

years without any sort of endorphin response it is hard to remain upbeat.

My apologies, too, for having forwarded the email to your private address,

rather than the group one, it took a while for me to work out that I had to

REPLY ALL, to get the group email address in the Recipient box.

Hi there,

Sorry to repeat but I missed the answer to the above question. I started LDN for MS on 4/15 and I wonder what is a fair trial? I see the studies have been about 8 weeks.

With patience not being my strong suit, I like to look for benchmarks.

Thanks to all! I find this forum extremely helpful and interesting,

Maree, I remember our e-mail chat, and that you were diagnosed with endorphin

defiency.

Let me now say that LDN should be your best choice of medication BECAUSE it both

helps you create more endorphins, and also create more receptors. These would

be new ones to handle the greater amount of endorphins - and therefore not

damaged by previous alcohol use. Or this is what I think based on the video at

www.ldnscience.org

Watch the video. You not only make more endorphins, you also create new and

more receptors. So it would seem to be the perfect remedy for endorphin

deficiency.

You have nothing to lose but a little money (very little if you learn to make

your own LDN). I think you would begin to feel a lot better - maybe not

immediately, especially if you have a candida problem, but eventually when you

find the right dose. I'd hover around 2.5 to 3 mg. Seemed to suit me best.

Don't rush for 4.5mg.

I'd go for it with or without a Dr. on board. Just to see how much better you

might begin to feel.

Do some searches on this website to find the best place to buy LDN and how to

mix it up and measure your dose. It's not hard.

In my opinion a fair trial would be at LEAST 6 months. The studies have been short due to lack of funding but people report feeling better and better up to a year on LDN, and beyond.Bev

LDN's purpose/what MS drugs can be used w/LDN

http://ldn.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=links & action=display & thread=772

Note to MS sufferers using LDN. For MS LDN's main purpose is to halt disease

progression, not improve symptoms. If you get symptom improvement on LDN then

that's an added plus, only approximately 2/3 of those with MS using LDN will see

symptom improvement. LDN will not repair permanent damage already done. LDN can

halt disease progression and this can allow the body to heal itself but healing

is not a guarantee even if LDN halts the progression. Damage from paralysis may

never improve, hearing may never return if you've lost hearing or eyesight if

nerve damage has occurred. If you have candida yeast overgrowth or bacterial

infections you must clean them up for LDN to work properly. You may have to

clean up your diet. As doctor McCandless has said many times, LDN is not a stand

alone treatment. It's not going to perform 100% miracles unless one is very mild

relapsing remitting MS and has little to no damage.

Symptoms usually disappear in the reverse order
