Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 hi,dr lawrence wrote me to get calcium/magnesium and gaba powder before goimg to bed after taking ldn,but he did not gave me any indication to the time that shall be passed between the two assumption. usually i get ldn and after more or less 1 hour ca/ma and gaba powder.this is since 1 year and i have never had problem or signal tha ldn works worse than before. my best emiliano > > Someone told me that calcium/magnesium should not be taken with 2 hours of LDN, as they interfere with the absorption of LDN. I can't find this info corroborated anywhere. Is it correct? > > Peggy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 You can't take calcium carbonate within 2 hours of LD. There are different forms of calcium. As for Magnesium...call the pharmacist at Irmat or Skip's...they know the chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 this is what dr.Bob Lawrence has written me today about ca-mg and the ldn assumption Dear Emiliano, This problem has been exaggerated. If you take calcium and magnesium take them at least an hour before the LDN. There is no problem taking LDN and Gaba close together. Kind regards, Bob L my best emiliano > > You can't take calcium carbonate within 2 hours of LD.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 ldn.org says the ldn can be taken with any substance or food except opiates. It seems now this is disputed. Is there a summary of counterindicated other substance ingestion with LDN that can be trusted? -- At 02:36 PM 1/12/2010, you wrote: >this is what dr.Bob Lawrence has written me today about ca-mg and the ldn >assumption >Dear Emiliano, >This problem has been exaggerated.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Pharmacists know chemistry better than doctors, with all due respect. I am incline to err on the side of caution since I know that calcium carbonate can interfere with absorption of other drugs. Call your pharmacist and ask them.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I can't tell what the source of the information is, I am asking, is this the generally held common knowledge of LDN people, and are there other substance interactions I need to be aware of? Is it only the calcium that is a problem, or is it the magnesium, because I'm supplementing with mag and need to know if that's an issue. -- >Pharmacists know chemistry better than doctors, with all due respect.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Calcium is okay to take around LDN time. Just make sure your filler in your LDN capsule is not calcium carbonate, it can interfere with the absorption of LDN. There has been some concern among LDN users that calcium carbonate is occasionally packed too tight in the capsule, which can cause a slow-release reaction, rather than the desired fast- release. IMPORTANT: Make sure to specify that you do NOT want LDN in a slow- release form. Reports have been received from patients that their pharmacies have been supplying a slow-release form of naltrexone. Pharmacies should be instructed NOT to provide LDN in an " SR " or slow-release or timed- release form. Unless the low dose of naltrexone is in an unaltered form, which permits it to reach a prompt " spike " in the blood stream, its therapeutic effects may be inhibited. Capsules of LDN necessarily contain a substantial percentage of neutral inactive filler. Experiments by the compounding pharmacist, Dr. Skip Lenz, have demonstrated that the use of calcium carbonate as a filler will interfere with absorption of the LDN capsule. Therefore, it is suggested that calcium carbonate filler not be employed in compounding LDN capsules. He recommends either Avicel, lactose (if lactose intolerance is not a problem), or sucrose fillers as useful fast-release fillers. > > Pharmacists know chemistry better than doctors, with all due respect.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thank you. I'm not taking any of these (my only other scrip is NatureThroid, plus I take 5HTP and various other supplements, and starting iodine and the support supplementation soon). My filler is Avicel. Thanks very much for the help. Want to make sure I'm getting full benefit. Recently moved to 3mg and noticed increased level of well being: wake up feeling happy and with little pain, haven't had daytime fatigue episodes. exciting.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 i have also asked to dr.Skip,here is the answer: Actually the pharmcokinetics of calcium dictates that you should take them in the morning on an empty stomach. The chemistry is not that involved, basically calcarbonate needs a very low pH to ionize. Calcium is only absorbed in its ionized form. Another suggestion is to by Tums, one in the morning and one in the evening before supper. Mag can be taken as part of a good daily supplement. Dr. Skip really for me there are no problems to get ca-mg in the morning,but considering that in ms during nigth the calcium level get drastically lower,and this is the matter of legs spasm and stifness,i do not know if it is better the morning assumption than the one before going to bed.what that i will do, considering that till now i have never had problems,is to get ldn and after 1.5-2 hours the ldn my best emiliano > > > > Pharmacists know chemistry better than doctors, with all due respect.
