Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hello Everyone,I am newly diagnosed with RRMS, and have begun taking 3mg of LDN at night. My mother has had a mild case of RRMS since the 70's. In addition to her MS, she was diagnosed with bulbar ALS in November. Does anyone have experience with LDN and bulbar ALS, or know of research on LDN and ALS?Peace,Kathleen in Seattleps Terms of Use | Unsubscribe Recent Activity 29 New Members Visit Your Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Kathleen, Have you thought about testing for heavy metal toxicity? The files in these lists are good sources of information. / A basic hair test can give you/your mother much information re a heavy metal burden. Directions can be found @ http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/ frequent-dose-chelation/? I found this list when I was researching ldn for our daughter,who has vaccine induced injury that negatively impacts many body systems, including the immune system. Many of her labels are on the autism spectrum. She began ldn about 12 mos ago. It has been helpful enough that I've kept her on it beyond the initial study time frame. This group has parents/children who are using ldn for such problems. Autism_LDN/ I've been amazed at the similarity of symptom patterns that I read here and on the lists devoted to autism. A beloved Aunt had a label of ALS. Shortly before her death in 2003, she consented to a hair test. It showed a heavy burden of metal toxicity. I would urge you to look at some of this information.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 , Thank you for your quick response to my query regarding LDN, MS & ALS. I forwarded your response to my mother. She and I will both have heavy metal testing done. I appreciated that you included information about your daughter with the vaccine-induced injury. I was first told about LDN by my friend who attends DAN (defeat autism now) conferences because her daughter's labels are on the autism spectrum. She learned of LDN for inflammatory conditions at the conference. Peace, Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007  Kathleen, the bulbar type of ALS is more aggressive than the type that affects either upper or lower motor neurons. I would try LDN, it can't hurt and also look into injectible calcium EAP. I personally know two people it worked for. You can get more info by calling 608-647-6513. It is a library with LDN info and info on calcium EAP. Best, Kathy Re: [low dose naltrexone] MS & ALS Hello Everyone,I am newly diagnosed with RRMS, and have begun taking 3mg of LDN at night.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi Kathleen, Like almost all conditions no specific research has been done into LDN and ALS, but as someone who has a form of motor neurone disease (PLS) and knows lots of others who have ALS I say get your mother onto LDN ASAP. It has significantly helped a couple of people I know with ALS, although others haven't thought it helped with their ALS. That said, /most /of the ones it didn't help weren't getting LDN from a recommended supplier (see http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/comp_pharm.htm) and/or didn't give it 9 months as suggested before giving up.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Have no idea whether this would be a useful comment, but I know Lyme disease can mimic MS and ALS. Has she been tested for Lyme disease? Western blot test for specificity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
