Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 , My guess is the same as yours. I've been on LDN for 3 yrs. One year ago, my hormone levels were checked...all normal. Marcie C <covo@...> wrote: A woman I know with PLS (Primary Lateral Sclerosis - a form of motor neurone disease) wants to try LDN but is very concerned about what it may do to her hormone levels which are already very high. She has already had breast cancer and describes it as hormone receptive, therefore doesn't want to risk anything with potential to increase her hormone levels. Even though typically LDN is regarded as assisting in the fight against cancer she is concerned about it possibly kicking her hormone levels up again and increasing the risk of a recurrence of her breast cancer.I have had a bit of a look through the archives and it would seem LDN can definitely affect hormones (eg. the recent post about PMDD) but what the impact would be seems unclear. From what I understand of LDN's mechanisms in helping the body fight disease I tend to think it results in the body trying to normalize itself back to a healthy state and therefore if this woman's hormone levels are too high it will potentially reduce them. However, that is an (un?)educated guess on my behalf and I certainly don't want to recommend LDN to her if it has any potential to increase the risk of a recurrence of her breast cancer by increasing her hormone levels.Does anybody have any information/input which could help in this situation please?Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
