Wrong, LDN would block the effects of the Vicodin and put her into withdrawal.

Someone I know didn't think they needed to be off their narcotics to start LDN

and they found themselves in the emergency room in bad shape.

In addition, because LDN will also block the analgesic effects of any opiate

drugs (includes codeine, dihydrocodeine, morphine, pethidine or diamorphine)

presently being taken, the use of LDN will initially greatly increase the level

of pain experienced. It is therefore advisable that any opiate-like drugs be

discontinued at least two weeks before this treatment is initiated. When

starting the treatment it is essential that any untoward or adverse side-effects

are reported immediately so that the treatment process can be further assessed

and, if necessary, modified.

Additionally, is there anything that can take the place of vicodin/analgesic for

the pain

that won't interfere?

Getting the family to upset anything in the balance is like pulling teeth. They

are very

habitual and unwilling to rock the boat any. I'm beginning to feel like I

should just forget

pursuing LDN or anything else for them. :-( Granted, if she isn't on board, she

isn't on

board.

Hello,

Have you looked at this web site?: www.cancertutor.com

Go to Stage IV Protocols. There's a good bit of info about using Cesium, an alkaline mineral, to overcome advanced cancer.

Good luck!

Talk to her doctors and see if there is something besides a narcotic that would

be worth a try for her pain.
