RE: Starting LDN on Friday???

[Guest guest]

I am new to this group and am also

starting LDN on Friday. My pharmacy is mixing it with Cellulose (sp?). Does

anyone’s pharmacy mix it that way and is there a reason I should try to

have them mix it with lactose instead. I was told by the pharmacy that too

many people were allergic to lactose and that is why they don’t use it. I

understand from reading the discussions in the last week that most people that

have a lactose intolerance, don’t have a problem with it. Any

information would be greatly appreciated.

Starting LDN on Friday???

I should be starting LDN on Friday for MS. Since

my doctor knows

nothing about LDN treatment for MS, but was kind

enough to prescribe

the med for me, I'm wondering about a few things

before I start.

I take Neurnontin, Effexor XR and Xanax. The

ABCR drugs didn't work

for me and my doctor told me that since I was a

more progressive

type of MS, they wouldn't be beneficial to me

anyway.

My question is, do I need to stop the drugs I am

taking before

taking the LDN and if so, how long should I wait

before starting

LDN? I would appreciate any info.

Have a great day.

My pharmacy which is one of Bihari’s listed

pharmacies mixes the LDN with Calcium Carbonate no questions asked but will

fill with other ingredients like acidophilus if you like. I don’t think

the filler makes a difference just ask the pharmacist to make sure the prescription

is filled in fast release form.

Hi , Dr. Bahari doesn't actually list the pharmacies, we do.

But they are on the LDN site. Dr. Bahari uses lactose filler. I

believe that Dr. Bahari is lactose intollerent, but says that there

is so little in the capsule, that it doesn;t bother him.

You are right that the filler doesn't matter as long it is fast

release and you don't have an allergy to the filler.

TY Sally my mistake through misinformation elsewhere. At

Spotlight LDN or here it had been questioned why a specific pharmacy had been

removed from the list and the answer back was because “Dr. Bihari”

felt that the pharmacy wasn’t compounding it properly or some such thing…

so I thought they were from Dr. Bihari. Thank you for the correction sometimes

you never know the material you get through emails from the groups…

Love,

You shouldn't have any problems with cellulose.
