LDN and allergies

[Guest guest]

Has anyone with allergies benefited from taking LDN? I have allergies to

molds, grasses, dust, smoke, etc. While years ago they really bothered

me, and I was also sensitive to many foods, I seem to have outgrown the

most annoying symptoms. However, during certain seasons when colds are

going around, if I catch a cold, it triggers my asthma and I can cough

for 3+ months after the cold is gone. When I asked my doctor if LDN

might stop me from the debilitating cough, she said what it might do is

keep me from catching the cold in the first place.

She gave me Rx's for 1.5 mg and 3 mg to try which I started 2 1/2 weeks

ago. I got it from Skip's Pharmacy. I started with 1.5 mg and worked up

to 3 mg. I'll try 4.5 mg in a while. My sleep was disturbed in the

beginning but I started taking it earlier, like 9:30 to 10:00 pm instead

of midnight or later and that seems to help and I'm not bothered now.

Fortunately, I am not suffering from a serious disease, so it is

difficult for me to know if it is doing anything for me. I would

appreciate hearing from others about this as I don't want to wait until

my next cold to evaluate LDN. Smoke will trigger my asthma too, causing

me to cough. Once I start, I can cough just as long as after a cold.

Thanks for your input,

I have had seasonal allergies for years. Since taking LDN, I have had no further annoying symptoms!

I am so glad to hear that! My allergy symptoms (hayfever) just

started up again. They haven't bothered me while I was on Humira

but it quit working for CD. I will start LDN

tomorrow!!! YEAH!!!!

My severe allergies also disappeared the last 2 years on LDN. Amazing!!! I take the LDN for MS but this was a great bonus. JoyceGas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

I would love to hear an update on this thread. I have food,

environmental, and chemical sensitivities and I am interested in

trying LDN.

Thanks

Check for candida yeast first.

Try to avoid all food fermented or containing yeast.

If this don't help..consider using prednisone for some weeks, dose not higher than 10 mg:-) Ingrid
