Re: LDN and Parkinsons Disease

[Guest guest]

You can order from www.medsmex.com 50mgs of Revia from Mexico. That

is what I did until neuro gave me a script. Here is the homemade

instructions and I found that the liquid way is best and I got best

results that way also. www.goodshape.net is where these instructions

are.

I have one brain lesion and started LDN Dec. 17, 2004 with all

symptoms gone except some numbness. I took the crushed way until

June and tried the liquid way and got Energy so I'm sticking to the

liquid way. I also tried compounded from Skip's but first dose I

didn't feel like I did on liquid so went back. I could open the

capsule and put in water but didn't try that way and more economical

for me not to get compounded. Goodluck. Rhonda

HOMEMADE LOW DOSE NALTREXONE

There could be several reasons why some people may want to make their

own LDN: Often their Doctors will not prescribe LDN; Homemade LDN

costs only $10/month; There are no Pharmacy mistakes in Homemade LDN;

There are no capsule " filler " problems and experiments can be

conducted with different dose quantities.

The chemical we call Naltrexone is really the chemical Naltrexone

Hydrochloride (C20H23NO4-HCl). It could be purchased directly from

Spectrum Chemicals for about $100 a gram but only by using a

commercial account and in its pure form is too difficult to measure

in exact small quantities. The best source of Naltrexone, in order to

prepare Homemade LDN doses, is the 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone tablet

made by DuPont and prescribed by Doctors for treatment of drug and

alcohol addictions. Each 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone tablet can be made

into 11 to 16 LDN doses depending on whether one takes a small 3mg

dose or a larger 4.5mg dose.

How to acquire 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone Tablets: Here are a few

methods that have been reported by people on the Histamine, LDN and

Alternative MS Therapies Message Board:

They tell their Doctor the truth: They print out this WebPage and the

WebPage LDN Brief Summary, highlight key areas and give it to their

Doctor and tell him they want the " ReVia " tablets in order to

experiment with minuscule Naltrexone doses at 1/100th of FDA approved

dosages. Hopefully, they get a " ReVia " Prescription.

They tell their Doctor a white lie: They tell their Doctor their

medical condition has caused them to abuse drugs and alcohol and they

would like a Prescription for 50mg " ReVia " tablets to relieve their

possible addiction.

They order 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone Tablets legally without a

prescription from a foreign country. Most people at the Histamine,

LDN Message Board currently prefer Internet Mexican Drug Stores which

cost about $110 for a one year supply. Any questions can be asked at

the Message Board.

Methods you can use to make Low Dose Naltrexone Doses:

Liquid LDN (Easiest): Acquire some ml measuring equipment from the

baby section of a Drug Store and a small bottle with a screw-on cap.

Put 50ml of water (distilled is best) and one 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone

tablet in the small bottle and let it dissolve with a little time and

shaking. Now each ml of water in that small bottle contains 1 mg of

Naltrexone. At bedtime shake the bottle, take a desired dose (no more

than 4.5ml), chase it down with some water and store the small bottle

in the refrigerator. Some people have reported splitting the tablet

in half and dissolving it in 25ml of water to assure freshness every

week.

Measured LDN (Harder): Acquire a $3 hand held pill pulverizor at

Walmart and a bag of Darice Craft Designer 7mm PONY Beads 59cents

from JoAnn Fabrics. Superglue one of these beads to end of a thin

spatula, knife blade or flat toothpick and it becomes a good

measuring spoon for powdered " ReVia " Naltrexone. A scoop of this

powder, that leaves the top inside edge of the bead visible, contains

3mg of Naltrexone and a moderate (not heaping) scoop that covers the

top bead edge contains 4.5mg of Naltrexone. At bedtime, you take one

desired scoop of " ReVia " Naltrexone powder and put it in a 1oz jar

with water, shake it up, drink it and chase it down with a little

more water.

LDN in a capsule (Hardest): Some people take other supplements at

bedtime and a measured amount of " ReVia " can be put into another pill

capsule. Open up a capsule taken at bedtime and deposit a measured

amount of powder (using the method above) in the small side of the

capsule and close the capsule back up. Take the capsule with a glass

of water. This method makes sure all the LDN goes directly to the

stomach without getting hung up in the throat. A 3mg Melatonin

capsule from Swanson Vitamins is a good candidate for this method if

getting to sleep is a problem.

Note: A 50mg " ReVia " Naltrexone Tablet actually weighs about 310mg -

16% Naltrexone and 84% Filler.19mg of the Powder actually contains

3mg of the chemical Naltrexone and 28mg of the Powder contains 4.5mg

of Naltrexone. It would be very difficult to work with 100% pure

powdered Naltrexone Hydrochloride.

My husband with PD, has been on LDN for 3 1/2 months. He was able to go

from 2 Sinemet a day down to 1 without any loss of function--and seems

even somewhat better than prior to LDN even with less Sinemet.

My husband got his prescribed by Dr. Bihari. His neuro said he only

prescribes things that have been clinically proven effective.

My sister was able to get her physician's assistant to prescribe LDN to

her for some auto-immune conditions. It definitely seems easier to get

it prescribed by doctors on the lower end of the spectrum than by

specialists.

HI Steve, I also have PD and just 2 weeks ago started out on LDN @ 1.5mg's per day, nothing to report yet but most people say that they do not start getting a buzz on unitl they started or got up to 3.0mg's. Which in my case will be in another words 16 more days, that's accourding to "THE WIFE". Who said from the begining that if I was going to start on LDN was going to folow the Doc. instructions or she wasn't going to allow me to remain on LDN

RK

SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????
