Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Sherrie, I believe the only trial going on now is for Crohn's and it is the first for LDN. If your daughter wants to try it though all she needs to do is get a doctor to prescribe it. It is already an FDA approved drug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Sherrie, If you look at the homepage of the low dose naltrexone.org site you will see ulcerative colitis listed there as one of the conditions that Dr. Bihari has used LDN to treat with positive effects. > Dear Tom: > > Wouldn't this be good for ulcerative colitis as well since they are so similar. > > Sherrie > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
