Dr McCandless, seldom is LDN stand-alone treatment

February 24, 2010

As usual, I need to emphasize that seldom is LDN a stand-alone treatment, but

accompanies other strategies their body needs, especially a healthy diet. No

sugar, dairy or gluten.

If you are having adverse symptoms caused by LDN....

Would you be willing to stop all casein (milk products) and gluten (wheat, rye,

barley and oats) for a week and see if you feel better? A study done 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...(continued)
