Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi ee, What is your diet like? Have you tried to remove dairy, high fats and wheat for a while to see if that helps. Are you taking any supplements? I can send you a list of what my husband is taking if you would like. I met a woman today that says that she has been " juicing " and has lost her hot spots for breast cancer, and her friend has been " juicing " also and all signs of Lupus are gone after 4 months. Apparently the theory is that our bodies are usually on the acid side when these illnesses come in. So you change that by adding alkaline by either juicing or changing the alkaline content in your body somehow. It might be worth a shot.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Aletha, Would you be able to share what your friends are using in their juising to accomplish the alkaline balance? I've pulled my Champion juicer out and would like to do some healthy combinations. God Bless, Sara > Hi ee, > > What is your diet like?

If one happens to get some symptom improvement on LDN then that is just an added plus. So one may not see any symptom improvements while on LDN but your disease may not be getting any worse on LDN and that's a good thing. One needs to be on LDN at least a year to know if LDN is going to help stop one's disease progression. ee get yourself tested for Lyme by having a Western Blot test done. Do not settle for your doctor running just the ELISA blood test...insist on Western Blot. Though the Western Blot is not 100% in diagnosing Lyme and sometimes misses Lyme it is better than the ELISA test that misses Lyme much of the time. Lyme Disease mimics MS very closely. LDN does not help Lyme and some with Lyme have felt worse taking LDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 > I haven't been dxed with MS or what either just one brain lesion. The LDN did make the lesion inactive and I got symptom relief. I didn't get the fatigue relieved until I took the LDN the Liquid method from Revia. If you haven't tried the liquid method, try it and see if your fatigue lets up or goes away. I did take generic for 3 weeks that sent me back downhill so I ordered more Bristol Myers Revia from medsmex.com. and I had to go from 4.5mgs to 5mgs. I'm still not totally back to where I was before generic. I've been on LDN since Dec. 2004 and took the crushed method until June 2005 when I started the liquid method which worked a lot better for me and still on liquid LDN. I have had symptoms for 10 years which progressed last 2 years before LDN and just got dxed with brain lesion in 2004. Rhonda > Been there, done that. > A diagnosis, at this point, is a fantasy.
