alcohol and ldn

[Guest guest]

Hello, all-

I have been taking LDN since May 2003 every night religiously.

Started with the lactose filler, then calcium carbonate. I saw some

improvement but it wasn't enough for me. Now I take the liquid and

am able to adjust the amount better. I can definitely see improvement

now. But tonight I am going to the Bruce Springsteen concert, will

probably have some beers and get home very late. Should I take my

LDN at around 2 or 3am after a few drinks? Or should I skip it tonight?

Whaddya think??

Hi Charlie,

I have no clues but my sister preferred to stop drinking at

dinnertime. (Not strictly but she tries). She thinks it was making

a

difference when she was at 3.5mg.

Now she takes 4.5mg and we don't know….

I guess it wont hurt but probably some alcohol neutralise some LDN.

So, within some extends, the two things cancel each other.

This is just our impression and I never heard of anyone else

reporting this.

,

It is my understanding that alcohol does not inhibit the effectiveness of LDN in any way. It is the LDN that slightly lessens the effects of alcohol when alcohol is used in moderation. (You might just have to work a bit harder to get drunk!)

I would just take your LDN as normal-or when you get home.

Hope this helps

Have a great time!

CAROL - take care!! everything does not react the same with everybody!! we are told that LDN eliminates the effects of ultram for pain relief. it did the opposite in my system - the effects were exacerbated - DRUGGED!!! i was too high, literally, to keep my eyes open. could have slept for days. good thing i didn't like the effects; because who knows what this would have led to??

Dr. Gluck is

a childhood friend of Dr. Bihari. He took up the torch and started the

web site along with his son . Dr. Gluck is very much involved (along

with Sunny) in setting the conferences for LDN and for keeping in touch with

the researchers and doctors involved with LDN. You can say he is the

mortar that keeps everything together on the LDN front.

It is not a problem with the LDN.

Remember Low Dose does the opposite as High Dose.

I only take LDN for 24 days; but I use to have now and then a beer or

a glass of red wine. I haven't notice any difference.

Carol,

IN ALL HONESTY.......

Yes, I must confess (I just feel the need to get this " out there " ).

You might say that I am " more " than a " social " drinker,

unfortunately. Even worse than wondering if my " habit " affects my

body's response to LDN.....is that drinking alcohol is a " pain in

my .... Gut. " (I have Crohn's disease which is an autoimmune

(digestive) disorder.) [insert " Don't drink alcohol " lecture

here...].

I can say that I have gotten incredible results (relief from

symptoms) since I have been on LDN for 25 days now, even though I

have had cocktails about every night. I know, I know.....this is not

good (drinking) but for now....it seems that alcohol consumption has

not " stopped " the LDN from working, for ME anyway.

I am working to " correct " this " habit, " but for now I would have to

say, ...... " It is what it is.... " .

Don't listen to me...listen to the LDN veterans. I know that THEY

know best!

Thanks,

Patti (a/k/a livinwithcrohns)

I just got back from Jamaica, spent a week in an all

inclusive, and in typical male fashion was intent on

getting my moneys worth of sun, sea and sybarism.

Can't say I noticed that all the drinks hurt me or

that I had any additional side effects but we all know

booze is bad on multiple levels over the long haul and

one shouldnt need to get intoxicated to have a good

time. DO NOT DRINK IF TAKING TYLENOL/ACETOMINOPHEN

products or anything else significantly hepatotoxic.

I did take increased Vit C which acts as a hangover

preventative in larger doses if taken before imbibing.

Among things claimed to increase endorphins is sun

exposure so I recommend it for myself, and noted even

before starting LDN or even the Enbrel that the sun

made me feel better.

Don't hate me...

That question comes up all the time, most recently less than 2 weeks

ago. The consensus is that with most people it makes absolutely no

difference. I have the occasional glass or two of red wine and can't

say I've ever noticed anything different to before I started on LDN.
