Pat

May I ask why youre taking your LDN in the morning? Very few take it in the

morning - the usual protocol is to take it between 9p.m and 3a.m.

Rather than expect any results in weeks, I suggest you give LDN at least 6

months.

Good luck!

cat, I wouldn't be taking LDN if I couldn't take it in the morning. We just went thru a discussion here not long ago and I believe it was Dr. Tom Gilhooly in Glasgow who said LDN can be taken any time of the day. I was up too much at night when I tried it at the evening dose. There are some here who do take it in the morning and have tried again and again to go for the night dose, and they are up too much.

Ann,

How long did it take for the waking up to pass? Did that occur

once you reduced your does to 3?

Thanks

Hi

Pat,

I

really think it's important to bear in mind that we get ill over many years on

our Western Diet so it's asking a lot of LDN to expect it to work quickly, it

takes a while to recover and diet should be part of the recovery

programme. Avoiding grains, sugars and lactose and " instant "

refined foods is, I think, vital.

Palliative

drugs work pretty quickly but can have devastating side effects whereas LDN

works by slowly boosting the immune system.

I

started taking LDN last September for mild RA and GI problems but after 3

weeks noticed that my Seborrheic Keratosis was shrinking slowly until it

totally disappeared... something I hadn't expected at all! The RA

symptoms have all but gone now after 7 months. I guess everyone reacts

differently and some people find that their symptoms worsen before seeing any

improvement. I have been on the Specific Carbohydrate diet for about 12

years now and LDN is a great adjunct to this... I am taking 3mg of LDN on

alternate nights. Initially I was waking up several times in the night

with a hideously dry mouth... this has now passed and I never had the vivid

dreams that others report.. although I was quite looking forward to them!!

Hope

this helps a bit.

Ann
