My mom only uses 4.5mg LDN and drinks Brownwood Acres Tart Cherry Juice

Concentrate(good for cancer) daily and she takes two 500mg DL-Phenylalanine

daily, one in AM and one in PM. It must be the DL-Phenylalanine, not the

D-Phenylalanine nor the L-Phenylalanine but the DL-Phenylalanine. My mom had an

aggressive breast cancer, had a lumpectomy and refused chemo. She started 4.5mg

LDN April 2004 and is still cancer free. Make sure that your filler in you LDN

capsules is NOT Calcium Carbonate. Calcium carbonate can be iffy...you can be

sailing along just fine on CC and all of a sudden you might get a batch of LDN

that is not any good because the Calcium carbonate got packed too tight in the

capsule rendering the LDN to be sustained/slow release and LDN must release

fast. The best 3 fillers especially for cancer victims are...Acidophilus,

Lactose or Avicel(Cellulose).

Are you open to some very " out there " alternative health care? Have

you heard of a Rife machine? I've never had the cancer challenge,

but read that the Rife, a machine that sends out electrical currents

(low) does reduce many cancers. You can Goggle and perhaps find

practioner in your country. You can dialogue with a husband and wife

in Oregon who have a free clinic with Rife and other modalitys. Email

them at Hope.can@....

Hi , thanks for your informative posts (e.g.

low dose naltrexone/message/28925

). To follow-up on the precautions, I came across advice to avoid

phenylalanine for any form of cancer. I'm primarily concerned about

the melanoma note & need to go in and have my moles looked at (please

wish me luck as I used to worship the sun:)!. Just curious if you had

your moles examined before starting phenylalanine & if you feel

protected from cancers by the LDN?

http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00132.html :

" Caution

Cancer patients should avoid taking L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine.

Certain cancers, such as melanoma, depend on these amino acids to fuel

their growth. "

http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-089.shtml :

" Phenylalanine can promote the cell division of existing malignant

melanoma cells. If you have melanoma, or any other form of cancer for

that matter, avoid phenylalanine.

According to a study in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics,

three patients with metastatic melanoma and three with metastatic

breast cancer took part in a study that involved a diet of

phenylalanine and tyrosine administered at a very low dose (10

mg/kg/day for 1 month). The results were not good. Researchers

reported that all the patients experienced anxiety and depression and

other side effects. They also lost weight. The authors of this pilot

study concluded: " Low phenylalanine and tyrosine diets do not appear

to be a viable treatment option for patients with advanced cancer "

(Harvie et al. 2002). "

Let me know if you have other thoughts on this.

LDN treatment for cancer differs greatly from traditional treatments for cancer

so the results of DL-Phenylalanine would differ in each situation. Dr. Bernard

Bihari is the one who told my mom to take the DL-Phenylalanine and my mom's

aggressive breast cancer has not returned nor has she developed any new cancer

in 1 year & 5 months using 4.5mg LDN and no chemo. Her surgeon admitted that

her cancer should be back by now without chemo. I do think that LDN can prevent

autoimmune diseases and cancer from developing. There is a cancer specialist

somewhere I read about on this forum who takes LDN as a cancer preventative and

that says lots to me.

If you are concerned about the DL-Phenylalanine then leave it off but do get the

Brownwood Acres Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate.

That's wonderful news about your mom , the rationale behind

Brownwood Acres Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate being:

BTW, do you also feel that the melatonin in these cherry products have

helped sleep cycles at all (or the initial LDN sleep issue)?

My mom drinks a glass around 7pm or 7:30pm and she sleeps well. I don't know

about our friend that uses Tart Cherry for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'll have to

remember to ask next time I visit her town.
