Hope this helps you
Hi again,
LDN is Low Dose Naltrexone. It is a therapy that a doctor in New York theorized would work for all auto immune system disorders as it does regulate the immune system back to one that is normal and no longer attacks itself. You see, when one takes a low dose of Naltrexone, endorphin production is halted just long enough for the body to be fooled into thinking that it needs more endorphins, it then goes into overdrive, producing about 200 to 300% more endorphins. This is what regulates the immune system back to a normal functioning one. Due to the fact that so many people are connected via the net, it is getting more and more recognized and I'm hoping that one day, this will be the first line of attack for all those with auto immune disorders. Go to www.remedyfind.com to see what many are saying about their LDN use. Naltrexone/Revia is voted #1 with patients right now. What is sad is the fact that this is taking so long because you see, it is a very inexpensive treatment as compared to what had been clincally tested for MS. The injectables are making billions for the huge pharmaceutical companies and what is even sadder is that it does not even compare to what the less expensive tiny pill that one can take daily can do to halt progression. You won't see those pharmaceutical companies putting their millions into an orphan drug like this where there is no hope for a patent (its been a FDA approved drug for over 20 years). Many that hear of it don't believe something that sounds so simple could possibly help the way it does. What makes it even harder is that when one sees their neurologist, he/she will probably have not even heard of it. I realize that the therapy that an MS patient chooses is a very very important thing because to stop any attacks is to possibly stop some permanent damage. It was definitely a leap of faith for me over 2 1/2 years ago when I started doing my research into what kind of therapy would be best for me. Well I do think that I found more then I had expected. I have halted any further progression of my MS that I think was turning secondary progressive by the time I decided to find something to help slow the progression (all that I could have hoped to find at that time). I sure do hope that this helps you to at least start to realize that MS is no longer the devistating thing that it used to be..please do your research. www.ldninfo.org and www.ldners.org are a few places to start. You can join the yahoo group from the ldninfo.org site...thousands of people using the LDN with great success for not only MS but Fibromyalgia, Crohns, Multiple Myeloma, PLS...probably more but those are the ones I can think of. Please let me know if I can help you at all and good luck to you and anyone else who reads this. I am compelled to share what I know of this because it is way too big to hide...{{{hugs}}} JoyceF
