Low Dose Naltrexone LDN for Autoimmune - MS - Crohns - Cancer - Alan Geller Scary Diagnosis

Informal talk about my successful use of LDN - Low Dose Naltrexone - for my MS (Multiple Sclerosis) diagnosis 5 years ago.

Also some of the strategies and principles I present in my book "Scary Diagnosis" about how to handle any scary diagnosis - whether yours or a family members or friends.

I had my first MS attack 2 1/2 years ago and started on LDN almost immediately. I have been attack and disease progression-free since my first and only attack. I love this drug.

@MrDlt123

does the no sleep go away jus started ldn took it for 1 wk 1mg couldnt sleep so i stoped taking it now i feel im having a attack so i took my avonex shot to try and wake my legs up thanks

[AlanScaryDiagnosis]

@22bellas - In my case sleeplessness was about 2 weeks and that seems fairly common. I never used Avonex so no comment there. Some take up to 6 mg of LDN during exacerbations - I have been attack free since starting LDN in 2004 although I do lots of stuff in addition to taking 4.5 mg of LDN nightly.

LDN has stopped working for me since I am in a relapse now. I have been taking 4.5 mg's once a night. I have been taking LDN for over 3 years. I had one bad relapse during the time and I upped the LDN dosage from 3 mg's to 4.5 mg's. I guess my body has gotten too used to the LDN and I have no choice but to go on a MS drug now since funding for CCSVI has stopped.

@notapplicable66

Sorry to hear your are not doing as well. My understanding is that most take LDN at 4.5mg as a norm and some go to 6 mg or more when having an attack. It might be worth doing some additional reading. I believe the CCSVI work will continue and also believe that it will prove helpful for many.

[mrsardath]

Do you think that LDN could prevent MS before it is diagnosed? I was also wondering if you believe that toxins/chemicals have to do with having MS and I wonder if LDN has some invlovment in blocking some of these from getting to immune system?

[22bellas]

Is it sage to take Ldn while on avonex my dr gave me both it doesn't seem right but I diddnt get sick while on Ldn also felt better any advice id be thankful.

[mrsardath]

This may be a dumb question but is LDN like an opiate type drug in itself? Is that why everyone is feeling so much better because it has some sort of heroin-type properties? Because i thought when you are trying to get off heroin you take a drug that has low levels of heroin in it and is this the drug that their talking about? Thanks in advance :)

[MrDlt123]

@MrDlt123 These sound like the same changes I made. I cannot emphasize enough to people these change can change the course of the disease for them. Most ignore me in favor of the CRAB drugs that have little effect upon the course of the disease. I hope you continue to experience the same success. Cheers!

edit: I saw some with MS show the lessening of the outer third of eyebrows or even worse, meaning low FT3 and/or low IGF-1 which seem the sole reasons for it according to my hormonal wizz doctor. Is it both in MS or just low FT3?

[lydibeau]

wondering as I am maybe facing the diagnose of MS too, I saw MS is also low cupper and low zinc, both meaning diminished conversion to FT3 is taking place. Are they treating the low zinc, low cupper and maybe the low selenium too?

Is the low FT3 in serum or merely at tissue level?

I also try to connect some dots. I find it odd as cupper and zinc usually counterballance that in MS they both seem to be low. And what about IGF-1?

@ladidiaz

I was in the same boat as you. Please consider LDN, buy it online if you have to or from mexico costs maybe 10 cents a day. I was dying, unable to manage and my rheumy was out of options with my meds maxed out. I saved my gf's life with it, my dog and another persons dog too, so so much for any placebo effects, the dogs dont know theyre taking anything.
