Your capsule filler may not be agreeing with you, what is your

filler? You may need to try liquid LDN with no filler or use non-

dairy/non-refrigerate acidophilus since you are sensitive.

Thanks -

I just spoke with compounding pharm - they use zinc oxide, magnesium

stearate and probiotic powder. They've not had bad reactions with this

but agree this may be an issue. I used an herbal product early in my

diagnosis that was great, but the zinc oxide ripped my stomach up. My

doc wants me off LDN for a couple days to see if the nausea subsides

so she has a better idea of what's driving it (the filler or the dose

itself). She said a couple of her patients had to be put on 3 mg from

nausea but the filler was ok.

I am noticing good effects even in 2 weeks so we want to keep me on

this however we can make that happen. I have a ductal and nipple

cancer, no tumour. I hope I will be able to give good reports back on

the success of this. It bothers me to no end that women are going

through invasive procedures for ductal cancers and microcalcifications

in the breast. I had multiple 100s of microcalcs one year ago and

today I have none due to diet and detoxification. I hope the area in

the duct in question is reversed out as well.

Will keep you posted on my results, thank you for helping me!

[low dose naltrexone] Any Suggestions for Side Effects?

Hi everyone -

I've taken 4.5 mg for 2 weeks now. The first week no problems at all,

then my entire digestive system is upset (constipation, cramping).

Nausea is pretty bad daily. Prior to this my digestive system was

great with no problems at all. Have some mild headaches as well - I

never get headaches. I don't think it's the filler, it came from a

very reputable compounder in IL.

I'm taking the LDN for breast cancer and PCOS. I'm excited about the

things LDN can do but this digestive stuff, especially nausea, is not

so good. It's keeping me from leaving the house.

Has anyone experienced this, and if so, did these side effects

disappear? I'm wondering if my system is just really sensitive and

maybe I need to start with a lower dose and work up to the 4.5 mg?

I do a number of other alternative things to support my body, and eat

very well (gluten free, sugar free, etc.).

Any help is appreciated, thank you for helping a newbie.......

[Guest guest]

Maybe try 3mg for a month.

I have MS and the protocol is a little different.

I'm on 1.5mg for a month. Then go to 3mg.

The first week on 1.5 I had sleep problems that settled quickly.

It could also be the filler you have.

If you don't know what the filler is ask and maybe change.

Hi ,

and welcome to the group,

you are at the best place to discuss your health issues and LDN. There is also another

group,... two other groups in here that discuss LDN and cancer. I'm sure the group

owners will give you their links. Anyway, here are also people with knowledge,

so I hope you will enjoy hanging around here. :-) With all the best fromIngrid

You may want to take some Ginger capsules with meals, but not at the

same time as the LDN. Ginger will increase absorption of what ever is

taken with it. It will help the absorption of vitamins if taken at the

same time.

Ginger is one of the best anti-nausea products out there, and it is

non-toxic. Ginger has a long list of other benefits, I even have a

book on it. Early studies indicate it may have anti-cancer properties

also.

http://nhfw.info/cancer-blood-thinners.html

Turmeric is another herb for stomach ailments and has anti-cancer

properties as well. It is cheap and real good for your health in

general. Long list of benefits.

http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/turmeric-000277.htm

Your symptoms could be caused by the toxic effect of Cancer being

killed. That is just a guess, but ask your doctor about it.

Good Luck, and keep us posted.

I take it. I’m not selling it. It’s sold by Metagenics, which is a very reputable supplement supplier – not an MLM. My doctor recommended it to me a couple of years ago for inflammation, and I can definitely tell the difference when I use it. It’s a protein powder with a lot of anti-inflammatory supplements in it. I typically have it for breakfast, with some greens powder mixed in.

Hope this helps.

That's a strange statement . Your reaction (or not) to a

particular filler is primarily dependent on what your body may be

allergic to, not who puts it in the capsules.

Hi -

I fully understand the allergy component - I have to be careful with

everything I take and seem to react to things that most people don't.

What I didn't explain in my first email was that I researched

compounders extensively prior to taking the LDN. What I found was that

some lacked the " consciousness " of even considering that many types of

fillers may not good for most people. Some also used a time-released

LDN. In my findings I found that a certain compounder in Illinois not

only came highly recommended, he also had the consciousness to be

mindful of fillers. He also educates physicians, alternative and

traditional, about LDN and how it's properly compounded. This in no

way means that certain people won't react to what he uses. What I did

find was that among the many doctors who use this compounder, and I

know most of them, their patients have had minimal reactions to the

filler he uses. That's what I meant by " reputable " .

I just happen to be one of the folks who is very sensitive to fillers

and they are going to work with me for a better solution.

Thanks!

Thank you so much to all of you who have responded to my questions. I

really appreciate the timeliness of all your responses. For as much as

I've researched this, nothing compares to the personal experiences

from those who are actively taking it. And nothing gives one more hope

than hearing all of the positive responses to taking LDN, as well as

how to deal with any side effects that may come up.

I seem to have gotten caught up in the specific type of cancer I have.

It's occurred to me that it really doesn't matter how it manifested in

my body, I believe the LDN is going to work the same as if I had a

tumor. The " gauge " I have just happens to be external, not one that

will be measured in terms of tumor shrinkage.

Peace and Many Thanks to You All,

[Guest guest]

Dear :

Sorry you are having problems. A few points to

consider that you may not know, or one of us doesnt

know. Firstly there is a slight problem with breast

calcifications disappearing. I've been a breast

health person for decades and calcifications don't

ususally disappear. Disappearance of abnormal

calcifications can be an ominous sign of abnormally

increased local tissue metabolism, especially with

other problems you are describing. Please have things

checked thoroughly

Hi D. Bergy - I am going to try the ginger, thank you - it was

suggested to me yesterday to try it in my daily teas. I didn't know

about not taking at same time as LDN, thank you.

I use tumeric cream on the external lesion and it helps alot. It makes

sense the LDN might be killing something off and my body can't handle

it fast enough. I will find out next week from doc if this is a

possibility.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Welcome to the group!

Have you tried magnesium citrate for the constipation?

For the nausea, have you tried Pepto Bismol?

If you are not averse to diet soda, have you tried sipping 2 to 3

ounces, ice cold?

Hope you are feeling better,

Alana

Hi ,

I copied and pasted this for you -

link in next post.

Alana

Nausea:

At least one trial suggests that N-acetyl cysteine, or NAC, at 1,800

mg per day may reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.

NAC is an amino acid-like supplement that produces antioxidant

activity.

Ginger can also be helpful in alleviating nausea and vomiting caused

by chemotherapy. A reasonable amount is 2-4 grams of the dried

rhizome powder two to three times per day.

Ginger in the form of tablets, capsules, and liquid herbal extracts

are also available, which can be taken in 250 mg amounts every two or

three hours, for a total of 1 gram per day.

Thanks red pill. I'm getting scanned in a few weeks again. This area

had 6 punch biopsies taken from it and they all came back negative,

but the surgeon insisted they were cancerous anyway. I understand that

areas of increased invasive cancer can make these disappear as well. I

will know more in the coming weeks.

there is any question. If it werent a question of

thanks - MRI is the diagnostic of choice for me and it's what we've

been using. the type of cancer i have can't really be diagnosed with a

mammogram - plus they're way too much radiation considering my

history. i'll be getting my 3rd MRI in a few weeks. i pray for more

improvement!
