Re: 3 is stronger than 4.5

[Guest guest]

Jim and Larry, Eureka!

I would think that the higher dose of LDN is needed when a higher amount of naturally owned endorphins have to be blocked. Therefore the lower your endorphin level, the less ldn you need! EUREKA!! I think Jim is onto something. I was just thinking this out loud and it makes sense. I used the word "naturally " for lack of a better word, could have used "endorphins already owned". Kiki

That is an amazingly astute observation. I think this deserves some thought - and discussion. The idea is also consistent with homeopathic medicine --- less is more.

Just to challenge some thinking I've read here, I'd suggest that3mg is probably a stronger dose than 4.5That is if 'strength' is how many endorphins you release.You have to remember that the ldn is being used in an opposite way than usual...

[Guest guest]

Bill you have my poor head aching why didn't you just say there is life on Mars it would be easyer to accept. I am not saying there is no validity to this there sure could be

Now I have tried every conceivable dose I could make up and the more I take the stiffer I get, once I reach 7mgs. I am almost unmoveable.This is with Acidophilus as a filler so I won't falt that! When I try to cut back on my dose by the time I reach 2mgs. I am married to the washroom again every fifteen minutes like clockwork. and am still stiff! But not as much as before.

So these are my results just so you have a bit of a starter point.

You may have something there. I started my 4.5 trial 2/11 and I'm not sure if it's better or worse. I thought my reaction to cold had changed, but it hasn't, it get those feelings now sometimes when I don't think it's cold, but haven't been reacting immediately to the cold. I also think I feel some RLS when I'm tired. Just this morning I was thinking I was going to give it another week or two then drop back to 3.0 and see if I notice anything then.

If I'm not mistaken, LDN doesn't make the body produce more

endorphines so much as it blocks their reception by the brain. Thus

the more naltrexone (within Dr. Bilhari's experimentation range)

such as 4.5, the more endorphines will be blocked and left in the

blood. More endorphines = good, as we all know.

Some people seem to do better with the 3mg dose. I'm trying 4.5

next month after 2 months on 3mg. So far, no side effects on 3 mg.

[Guest guest]

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

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.
