Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 If I were to try and have a baby do I have to go off LDN? And could I go back on LDN right after? Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi Bobbi, There were chatters talking a few months ago about pregnancy and LDN. I think they got off of LDN while pregnant. I remember something amazing, they never felt better than when they were pregnant. It was possible that your body changes while pregnant, or it might have been that there is something in the prenatal vitamin pills that were prescribed.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Is that new information? What if LDN would be beneficial for the mother AND baby? I thought "we just don't know" and nobody is willing to be a guinea pig and take a chance with an unborn baby? Did I miss something?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Also see Dr. Hilgers of the Pope VI Institute in Omaha, Nebraska. He has used LDN successfully for conceiving, pregnant, and nursing women for over 20 years:www.popepaulvi.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I am guessing that these tests were with full dose Naltrexone, not the minute doses that we take? We have seen that it has vastly different action in low dose. We have used it on our puppies and foals and others have used it with their children with autism or Crohn's. I realize that these are not official tests, and that you, in your professional capacity as a pharmacist cannot go against the official publication, but hasn't Dr. Boyle and others found no evidence of harm to pregnant women and children. I was wondering if you could expand on the " tumorigenicity shown for naltrexone " ? Is this again at the high dose, since many of us used it for tumor reduction at the low dose. Francie > > Dr. Boyle has used LDN extensively on his patients to increase fertility. > A number have taken it throughout there therapy. > This is the info from clinical pharmacology. > > PregnancyNaltrexone is classified as FDA pregnancy risk category C. No adequate or complete human studies have been done. Only use naltrexone in a pregnant woman if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus. > Breast-feeding > Transfer of naltrexone and 6-beta-naltrexol into human milk has been reported with oral naltrexone. Because of the potential for tumorigenicity shown for naltrexone in animal studies and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from naltrexone, either discontinue breast-feeding or discontinue naltrexone. Consider the importance of the drug to the mother. > Revision Date: 5/19/2010 2:17:00 PM > Dr.Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yes, you are correct in all. The operative wording is that no adequate clinical trials have been done, but safe to say that Dr.Boyle's work consititutes, in my opinion, adequate and accurate clinical trials. It would be interesting to hear from either him or his sister , about how many babies are the result of LDN interevtion. Dr.Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
