Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Because if you are in an accident or have a catastrophic illness (burst appendix, etc) that requires surgery or other emergent treatment while you are unable to clearly express your medical situation/needs, your doctors need to have a way to know that you should not be given opiate/narcotic medications, due to the LDN.~EileenOn May 18, 2010, at 9:28 AM, Kathy wrote: Maybe a dumb question, but why would I need a medic alert bracelet for taking LDN ? or is it for other meds you take?
