Re: Seldom is LDN stand-alone treatment, from Dr. McCandless

A couple of notes:

If restricting wheat (including barley and rye) isn't enough, try taking out ALL

grains- including corn, oats, and rice. All of these starchy compounds may be

responsible for the dysbiosis in the gut. It's interesting how many of these

autoimmune disorders seem to start in the gut- things like ankylosing

spondylosis and multiple sclerosis that have no obvious relationship with the

intestines. More pertinently, what if naltrexone's mode of action is by working

on this aspect of human health? This could be how " candida " comes into play; I'm

not at all certain that it's really Candida albicans, although I won't rule it

out- but many of the proffered techniques to control candida would also work on

a gut that has been harmed by chronic overconsumption of starch and grains.

After all, we've been told fat = bad and low carb = good, even though Americans

continue to get fatter, and there's no relationship between saturated fat and

heart disease.

Secondly, while cow's milk presents a problem, the milk of other species-

including goats- are free of so-called A1 milk. The whole BCM-7 thing may be

deeper than it looks; if BCM-7 is indeed an opioid mimic, what would that mean

when these autoimmune diseases are being combated by an opioid blocker? Very

deep stuff.

several years ago showed that 30% of us have some degree of celiac

disease(intolerance/allegy to wheat) even though the clinical symptoms may not

be obvious enough to alert most people to that. When anyone in that 30% of

persons stops eating wheat, they feel a lot better. The LDN may be acting like

the opioid antagonist it is and causing a withdrawal reaction from taking away

your fix, even if only for a few hours...
