I can only talk about personal experience Art and I was better

taking LDN whilst on 40mg of prednisone. I am not quoting Dr Ian Zagon. Can

you share your personal experience re this, it would help so muich. Thanks

again.

an immune enhancer(LDN) and an immune suppressant together, so I think the jury

From, a member of LDNNow:-

Yes, LDN is not an immune enhancing method. The restoration

of correct immune function is not enhancement of the kind you Art definwe. What

I believe is happening is that we all imagine the immune system is boosted. Why

would we want to do that in the absence of a pathogen or stress?

We only need the immune response activation when there is

a reason for it.

Endorphins are immuno modulatory agents of the cytokine

system, and that is where I personally believe you are miFreom all the research

I’ve done you need to restore correct immune function to deal with

autoimmunity, not boost or even suppress the immune system. Endorphins do a lot

besides, but this one dimensional idea that LDN boosts immune system is out of

date and needs scrapping fast.

I think that if you read Dr Zagon and group's paper, (abstract

here:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20598772

that it is fairly clear that the mechanism by which LDN works should not be

thought of as immune enhancement. (stimulator) That said, steroids have such

adverse long term effects, that weaning them off slowly with the help of LDN is

usually a good plan.

best, P.B.

Jayne,

When laboratory tests show that all with MS have decreased beta endorphin

production, progressive forms moreso than remitting forms of MS, multiplying the

amount of beta endorphins overnight with LDN is considered boosting those beta

endorphins back towards normal so that the immune system can do what it was

meant to do, fight disease. It has been shown by Dr. M. Gironi that beta

endorphins are indeed low in those with MS.

The actual LDN site says boost, but I think modulate or correct would be more

accurate.
