Tom on LDN had his endorphin levels checked

> My Name is Tom and my screen name is TomOnLDN. I will be in my third

> year of Stage IV malignant melanoma which had metastasized to the

> lymph glands in my neck, shoulders and under my arms. CT's confirmed

> that it had metastasized to the lymph's under my jaw on the left side

> and around the spine at the back of my neck. The lymph node under my

> jaw is swollen the size of an unshelled walnut.

>

> Research on the internet in areas that the medical profession use

> educated me to the fact that when there are tumors with the melanoma;

> they are larger than 1/16th inch in diameter and the cancer has

> spread to the lymphatic system, it is in stage IV and convention

> treatments with chemo and radiation are no longer effective. In other

> words, it is to late by their thinking.

>

> Two weeks prior to finding I had stage IV melanoma, I also had

> squamous cell carcinoma which started on the top of my forehead and

> spread to and around my eye, into the sinus cavity and towards my

> mouth.

>

> So under my circumstances, I opted to go 100% natural. So I set out

> researching cancer for the past three years. I my research, I came

> the conclusion, especially from the methods I have been using, that

> cancer and other diseases can not be necessarily cure, but managed to

> help keep in remission.

>

> I first started out with a good nutritional diet and keep myself very

> alkaline. Cancer can only thrive in an acidic environment. In

> addressing my tumors, I decide to opt for the use of a drawing salve

> (black salve), in my case, Cansema. I documented in every detail,

> along with hundreds of pictures, the two years I used the salve to

> draw out tumors. Some of the tumors were as big as ½ too ¾ inches in

> diameter. The problem with this method, was that the tumors were

> producing faster than I could keep up with. In my research, this

> possibly was brought on by edema which was cause by the

> aggressiveness of the salve.

>

> So I knew I was going to have to make some adjustments. One year into

> my battle, the spring of 2004, I added to my therapy Wobenzym N from

> Mucos Pharma in Germany and approved for sale in the US. This is a

> superb product that I still use to this day. Enzyme therapy is very

> important in any disease or prevention of disease. I started out on

> 60 pills a day to as little as 30 a day. I was introduced to two

> different kinesiologist. One in Kentucky and one in Michigan, both

> who monitoring me the past two and a half years. It is with their

> help, I was able to know how much Wobenzym N and other necessary

> supplements I need to take as well as what was effective and what was

> not. They also monitored my diet as well.

>

> As well as all this was working for me, I still had flair ups in my

> cancer activity every time my immune system was compromised and I got

> real ill. So I decided that I needed to research more and look for

> something else that would enhance my immune system to keep this

> cancer in remission. Then a friend of mine told me about being put on

> low dose naltrexone for his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in January of this

> year (2005). He knew very little about this product. So I started to

> do my home work. I found the Low Dose Naltrexone website and after

> reading about the women's experience in France that had three month s

> to live due to melanoma that had spread to the brain, and lived for

> twelve years afterward until she stopped taking LDN, I said this is

> the product I want to take.

>

> I went to three doctors that I have known for some years, and no

> would write me the prescription. Their excuse was that it was not FDA

> approved for that use. I reminded them of other drugs that they

> prescribed for other uses beyond would the FDA had approved them for,

> but that did not convince them. One even wanted me to have surgery. I

> knew better or they were not well educated that surgery is to late

> for stage IV melanoma.

>

> I ended up having to be paired with a doctor in Ohio who is on LDN

> for MS to get my prescription. Once I received the LDN I had my

> kinesiologist test me. In testing my endorphin level, it was only at

> 10%. Testing with LDN, I was not responding due to a malabsorption

> problem. I suggested that we try D-5 Extra along with the LDN. When

> tested, my endorphin level went to 90%. I could absorb the

> naltrexone

>

> I started the low dose naltrexone in March of 2005. Prior to getting

> on LDN, I contacted a serious upper respiratory infection that caused

> my cancer activity to flair up 60%. My lymph nodes swelled as well.

> After starting on the LDN in March, I again, in April, contacted a

> serious upper respiratory infection, but this time my cancer activity

> did not flair up! That told me it was working.

>

> My report from my kinesiologist this week, Oct 18, 2005, was that

> even though I still had my cancer, it was not active. The naltrexone

> was keeping it under control. She was amazed herself.

>

> So I even though I am on naltrexone, I still watch my diet. I think

> that this is very important when fighting any disease that naltrexone

> is being used for. It can do no more than help enhance the

> effectiveness of the drug.

>

> As far as it keeping me awake at night, I do not have that problem

> because I also take 3 mg of Melatonin at bedtime. It is important

> that one is in a good, deep sleep when taking LDN, Light of any kind

> can disrupt the sleep pattern. Therefore the bedroom should be pitch

> black at night or at least wear a sleeping mask.

> Today, I am thankful to God for giving me the wisdom and insight to

> educate myself on how to manage my cancer. And I am also thankful for

> Dr. Bahari for his dedication to the research of LDN, which in my

> opinion, could be one of the most valuable, life saving and life

==========

Find out from Tom how his endorphin levels were checked. I've heard of others

having endorphin levels checked. Dr. Bihari has checked endorphin levels of

some of his patients...probably more-so with his cancer and AIDS research.
