If possible try to reach 4.5mg unless your son is below 100 pounds and then do 3.0mg unless instructed otherwise by Bihari's office. Contacting Dr. Bihari's office would be in your son's best interest as they can give you more advice and make suggestions on other supplements that could be beneficial. You may have to speak to Bihari's assistant due to Bihari being in rehab for hip surgery. But Bihari's assistant has been researching LDN for years along with Bihari. Be sure to use one of the reputable compounding pharmacies from the LDN site for quality LDN. The best known fillers for the LDN capsules are Acidophilus(so far no complaints), Lactose(if allergic can cause stomach upset), Avicel(if allergic can cause nausea, headache & vomiting) and some use Gelatin(so far no complaints). With your son having cancer take no chances using calcium carbonate(CC) as a filler in his LDN capsules. CC has been found to be iffy by some of us. CC has made LDN release slow and LDN must release fast. The Compounder on the LDN website uses very little CC in with other fillers and the CC in that fashion so far hasn't caused a problem. If your son is lactose intolerant ask for Acidophilus as his filler. > > NOTE: The neurologist who prescribes LDN is Dr. Geleris.
