Those darn T-cells

As some of you will know, with my latest attack with my colitis, I've really

been searching high and low as to what's been happening and keep going back to

the T-cells and doing a lot of research as to why? I would just like to share

with everyone that whilst my immune system went into overdrive it was my GPs

choice to put me on prednisone (high dose much to my dismay) ie 40mg at one week

then decrease by 5mg every 3 days. I came off LDN through what I've learnt on

these forums ie you can combine LDN with prednisone as long as you don't take

any higher than 10mg. I came off it completely to let the steroids do it's

work.

3 days after finishing the course, I had another attack and my platelets were

low so my GP put me back on the same course of prednisone but this time it was

my choice to combine the prednisone with LDN – yes, even at 40mg. I have my

bloods tested every 2 weeks and see my GP who is monitoring them. Whilst

combining the two, my bloods are " very good " – his words, not mine and he is

baffled.

This brings me back to what Dr Zagon has continually been telling me, you can

take LDN with anything as long as they're not opioid pain killers and let's

please remind ourselves that LDN is a biotherapy. What I personally believe

this means is that LDN will do it's job and keep the immune system in balance

but please don't rule out the conventional treatments when and if in need. LDN

is not a replacement for anything but it sure as heck helps! What's interesting

is the difference with me just being on prednisone and me combining the

prednisone with LDN.

What I'd like to ask is, is there any anecdotal evidence to support the claim

`you cannot take LDN if you're taking more than 10mg of prednisone'? Or

anything that can point me in the direction to prove this `theory'? I know it's

a lot of people's opinion but is there any collective data to show this?

As some will know, I'm on the big T-cell hunt at the moment and came across this

article – people are finally getting there and please look at the comment Mr

Barnett posted (without saying that three letter word we've all grown to love

and know ie LDN) – we all know where we're going with this one. Thanks in

advance, here's the comment and after the link:-

Presumably, these receptors are also how the suppressor T cell system identifies

rogue T cells, suggesting that a properly functioning immune system has already

patented this methodology. If that is true, then we need only repair the immune

system, which is depleted in suppressor T cells and much else in autoimmune

diseases. The only treatment we know about that can do this work is something

that boosts endorphins, which regulate the immune system and promote

homeostasis. Note, T cells carry endorphin receptors and also manufacture

endorphins and endorphins are now shown to modulate the immune system and a lot

more besides - see Zagon and Plotnikoff et al for starters.
