Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 LDN does not mask symptoms the way a narcotic or typical pharmaceutical med would do. LDN actually regulates or orchestrates the immune system so your bodies own innate healing mechanisms kick in. There is not more info out there because this is not profitable for the doctors, AMA, or pharmaceutical companies. They are in business to make billions of dollars. BOTTOM LINE. That is their primary concern and when we think of our health as our primary concern and say to hell with this system ,all the sudden progressive diseases start going into remission and lesions start disappearing from the central nervous system. I wrote you and told you both of mine have gone. Thank God for Dr. Bihari and the Lord giving me the good sense to not let others think for me. Miracles are happening everyday from people who become proactive in their healthcare. I wish you abundant health and happiness. Kathy [low dose naltrexone] MRIs and LDN for MS HI I'm RRMS Dx'd March 05. I am excited about the prospect of LDN and hope to talk to my neuro next week. I have one nagging question though: Why is there not more info out there (or here) about MRIs showing that LDN is stopping progression? It sounds like LDN is doing wonders for the syptoms of MS, but for someone lucky enough to have minal symptoms, how do I know that symptoms are not just masked? With so many MSers using LDN surely many have annual MRIs that could provide important anecdotal evidence. I posted on this site a few days ago and six people were kind enough to get back to me with their personal successes-THANKS- Anyone got anything that may help me get some answers? Is there any way to email Dr Bihari (myself or my neuro) with such questions? Thanks in advance for any input you may have to offer. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hi , I understand your being cautious. We were there about 8 months ago. The biggest thing is that everybody reacts a bit differently. In most cases it seems that symptoms are being reduced. The same goes for slowing and stopping progression. But it does not work for absolutely everyone, and there is no guarantee that it will work for you. The group is here and very supportive for those that are thinking of trying LDN and for those that need help if they are experiencing problems. Of course you need to weigh things out for yourself, but I can't tell you how happy I am that my husband jumped off of the fence. Even if it had not worked out so well as it has, I would have wanted him try it and at least eliminate it out of the picture before trying the Crab medications. I don't believe there are any horrible problems with LDN. The dosage was OK'd at 50 to 300mg and we are talking about 3 to 4.5mg here. When my husband started he said "what if it is a placebo?" I said "that would be fine, if the placebo works great". In the end, it is your decision, but the only way that you will know how your body reacts is by trying it. I have always suggested in the past that everyone should have an MRI just before starting on LDN. That way you can tract the progression or lack of progression of the lesions. However I must say that symptom relief would also be a part of my analysis and determination as to whether he would continue. His quality of life is so much better.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hey! Thanks Aletha! I don't know how cool I am but I do know I was scared silly when I diagnosed myself before the doctors and knew there just had to be something out there they weren't telling us about!! I'm not really into astrology but I am a Taurus and we aren't really stubborn because I'll readily change my view if someone proves me wrong but I am very determined to try and do the very best I can with what the good Lord gave me!!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Personally I don't get an anual MRI... I feel that it is a waste of money. If I am feeling better I don't really care how many scars are showing up.... lg [low dose naltrexone] MRIs and LDN for MS HI I'm RRMS Dx'd March 05.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Actually I am beginning to feel more and more this way too. It is becoming a way of life thing more than something that I need to quanify. [low dose naltrexone] MRIs and LDN for MS HI I'm RRMS Dx'd March 05.
