RE: Re: 3 is stronger than 4.5

[Guest guest]

That is how I understood the info too. Somehow LDN blocking the receptors sort of tricks the brain (body) into thinking that it hasn't produced enough, so it then produces more. I laid awake in bed last night thinking about this! I guess as long as it works, it really doesn't matter how, but this is where a trial study could 'prove' something! Until then...the proof is in the puddin' so to speak! I'm not going to stop taking it!

yes you are mistaken I think.

I mean I found NO papers to back it up but if you listen to the mp3 interviews with bihari

he mentions 200 times more endorphins being produced.

So you take a very small blockade, the petuitary says 'hey, not enough opiates' and

it's tricked into producing WAY more.

Exactly how this works is still pseudo-mystical, but it seems to be the case.

I totally agree with ya Sall I did better noticed more

benefit than I have at 4.5 but now that I’ve forced my body on this 4.5

and waited to see if I get a benefit sooner or later I wonder if it’s 3

specifically I should go back to or somewhere in between… Oh well next

time I am asking for 3 and that’s that!

Wish you the best,

Yes Kiki, Remember when I had to go back down to 3mg? I said that

the 4.5mg was not working, and my thinking was

that it was blocking

too much. I still think it is an individual

thing, though. I

believe you had to take more and other people do

well on the higher

doses. And some of us do better on the lower

dose.

Eureka is right, I've been validated...lol. The next time

you talk

with Dr. B....see what he thinks of our scientific

discovery.

Love, Sally

Hi,

about the dosage: My pharmacist told me that if it was working at 3mg,

which is what I am taking, that it would not work any better at a higher

dosage....so this dissuaded me from asking for a higher dosage...don't know

for sure, but, it is working, and I don't want to rock the boat! LOL

Hi Pam I believe you are right by not rocking the boat, for some reason when

I went to 4.5 milligrams my stiffness increased and when I went down to 3.5

mg it never left. I am now stuck at 3.5 mg as when I go down to 3 mg I

regress.

You must have a very good pharmacist if he knows much at all about using LDN

the way we do, I wish all pharmacist's were as knowledgeable as yours.

I hope it keeps working as well in the future as it is working for you now.
