Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi Leanda, Thank you very much for contributing your story. I'd love to help you develop your story into a case study. Could we please clarify your platelet count first? (1) your blood disorder was diagnosed as Thrombocythemia (2) your platelets were over 1000 (3) with medication, your platelets dropped to 400 to 600 (4) with LDN, your platelet count dropped further - to the lower end of normal range (5) ' ... A normal count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter (mL) of blood. When the platelet count exceeds 600,000 platelets per mL, doctors call this essential thrombocythemia. ...

Re: Your LDN Story, presented as a Case Study - we want your story f Posted by: " ltuko " leonstavros1@... ltuko Date: Thu Mar 12, 2009 5:01 pm ((PDT)) Hi Jane, I would like to be a part of your case study. Here's what I had written to the group 2 weeks ago, and I can keep posted as more progress is being made: Just wanted to give you an update on results after using ldn for 3 weeks now. I had started taking it for I have a very severe case of Graves Eye disease in my one eye for about 2.5 years now and about 6 months ago, my other eye started getting effected. Once the muscles get effected, the eye will never be the same again. I do have to wear an eye patch to prevent major double vision as well as not to freak people out. My eye is very disfigured. I've been very upset about my good eye starting to get this now and grateful to have found out about ldn just lately through Elaine . I have had very serious health problems from 35 which includes Pseudo Tumor which is intracranial hypertension and hydrocephalus. I have had 3 shunt placements, 2 in the head and have had my brain stem and skull enlarged. At that time my body had been producing very high amounts of cortisol and it was also discovered that my bone marrow was making way too many platelets. I have been taking 2 pills a day to keep the platelets down. With the 2 pills a day, my platelets can be from 400 to600. Without the pills I go over 1000. These pills are very hard on my body. I also developed Melanoma twice. I suffer from a lot of other problems which are not life threatening so I don't even talk about those but I'm mentioning some now for ldn has started to fix those. Where do I begin.. After the first ldn pill, my restless legs completely went away. My whole body was restless when I would lay down not just my legs. I used to have to take freezing cold showers to bring my body some calm. Now I can't wait to lay down and feel at peace with myself. Secondly, I now wake up every morning feeling positive and happy and have more energy. I tried taking anti-depressants in the past but they would bring on suicidal thoughts which I never had before. Therefore I couldn't take them. I never thought I could be happy again. I'm grateful for all the good things in my life but I have gone through too many health issues to be normal. Now, with ldn, I'm truly becoming the person I used to be. I can't believe it! Thirdly, I just recently went to do labs for by blood disorder which is called Thrombocythemia and I was totally shocked. For the first time since I knew I had this problem my platelets were on the low normal. From 2 pills a day, my doc reduced them to 1 a week. I was shocked. I was so happy, I called my whole family to tell them and to tell them about ldn. Now, I'm going to be keeping track to see if this continues. I never expected my blood disorder getting corrected. I'm sure it's because of ldn. ..and now for my eye results, the swelling has been going down. I feel the progression is stopping. I go back to UCLA in a few weeks. They saw me right before I started taking ldn so they too are anxious to see if ldn works. I told them I was about to start taking it. They had never heard of it but pulled up the information on ldn while I was there to see what this was about. When I go back they'll be able to measure the changes and we'll see what they say but all I can tell you is that the swelling is going down. I am so happy about ldn.it's slowly fixing a whole lot of things. I'm now telling everyone about it. People in the markets and everywhere I go. I'm really becoming a believer!!! Thank you Elaine !!! I'll keep you guys posted after UCLA. I hope everyone is as well as can be. Keep taking your ldn! Leanda Your LDN Story, presented as a Case Study - we want your story for this year's free LDN book Dear Members, I've begun work on this year's free LDN book. If you're using LDN, I'd love to include your story as a case study. Once your case study is complete, it'll help you track your own continuing progress. Once it's in the book .... every time the book is passed on, someone new will learn of LDN through your eyes, and from your experiences. This means the value of each and every one of your personal contributions will grow immeasurably. Since 8.8.08 (7 months ago), over 2000 copies of the free LDN book entitled; 'Those Who Suffer Much, Know Much' have been downloaded directly from Case Health. As the book can be freely shared forward ... 2000 becomes 4000 if every person shares it just once ... so the actual number of books in circulation is ? ? ? :-) If haven't contributed your story, why not send it to me now at casehealth@.... No identifying details are required. Thank you all for the continuing work you do to help and support others in times of need, Cris casehealth.com.au PS If you're just beginning your journey, please keep a diary record. PPS If you'd like a copy, the free book can be downloaded online from casehealth.com.au, or I can email it to you.
