He needs to be on 4.5mg to fight cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 When I started LDN, I contacted both Dr. Bahari and Dr. Zagon about contraindications with the supplements I was using and dosage. From Dr. Bahari I was told from 1.5 to 4.5 mg per day depending on how I responded. From Dr. Zagon, I was told from 3.0 to 10 mg per day depending on how I responded. Nobody set 4.5 as an absolute. Both told me according to how I felt/responded was what to do. I just never got around to trying 10, but there are no rules other than what works for you.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I am using 4.5 mg. I started there and was going to up it, but never got around to it. No good reason, just the way it worked out. If I would have had severe reactions, I probably would have cut way back and started forward. I had originally planned on trying the 10 mg level, but between the 2 doctors, the 4.5 or thereabouts seemed to be a good compromise and that as they say is that.

Back when we contacted him for my mom's breast cancer it was no less than 4.5mg. That may have been due to the type of cancer my mom had and its aggressiveness. Her weight is between 110 & 115 so her weight did not play into this recommended dose at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
