My dad has PD and uses LDN

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, My dad is a success story using LDN for PD. I will attach a report I wrote a while ago that is still valid. We are now also using Glutathion and Hyperbaric oxygen. (He suffered a stroke as a surgical error during deep brain stimulation surgery part 1. Never did second surgery.) He is doing very well and uses very little medication. 4 - 25/100 Sinemet and 4mg Artane. Zoloft 25mg. He has had PD 14 years and is 76 years old. Tremor and

fatigue main symptoms. I will be happy to share more later. I believe LDN is a very useful tool but not the only piece of the puzzle. Warm Regards, Destiny 9/30/05Hi Everyone,I thought I would write a short note updating you onmy Dad's progress. For those that don't know my dadhas had PD for 14 years. He is 76 years old. He hadDBS on May 14th, 2004 and

unfortunately had ahemmorhaghic stroke during surgery. We decided not togo for the second surgery (due to his serious healthcondition), and have not had the stimulators installedyet.October 2004 he started a medication called LDN (lowdose naltrexone). We chose to try this because themuscle tension throughout his body was affecting hisbreathing and giving him a shuddering breath. Withinone week of starting LDN all of his muscle tensionbegan to subside. He was also able to cut hismedication in half. We have also not seen any newsymptoms which makes us feel that it is notprogressing.It is now almost October 2005 and we have startedanother new treatment journey using Glutathione andHyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Chico, CA. After fivedays of Hyperbaric treatment (known as HYBOT), and 7glutathion treatments (over three weeks time) we havenoticed that his medication needs

have gone down onceagain to 2 3/4 to 4 Sinemet 25/100. Fatigue, speechand swallow and tremor have been big issues for him. His fatigue is much less, his medication is moreeffective and his swallow is better. We also noticedthat he is able to initiate movement in his left(stroke affected fingers and thumb)much more than inthe last year.It is too early to tell if the successes he isexperiencing will be sustainable. I do believe all ofthese treatments are aiding him in making hismedication much more effective. Also before these newtreatments his fatigue level would only subside withSinemet, now he has long periods of time withoutfatigue just some tremor.maxwell98king <johnm@...> wrote: > > > >> > > > I've read on the main site about how LDN has reportedly helped > > > > Parkinson's sufferers, but have any Parkinson's sufferers on > the list > > > > had any first hand experience of seeing/feeling the benefits?> > > > > > > > > > > >
