Any reported Allergies to LDN? What form would they take?

[Guest guest]

Feeling fine and " normal " for me, I already wrote a long post earlier today.

Then I realized something " bothering " me physically over the last two days which

hasn't resolved and might have worsened, so I thought I may as well ask here:

On 2nd day into LDN -- with nothing else new or different in diet or meds-- I

noticed a swollen red " bump " over an eyebrow which itched. It's summer and I've

got pets so ignored it assuming " bug bite. " Today however it seems to have grown

and maybe made a " friend, " a smaller one or two red bumps on my otherwise clear

forehead. Definitely NOT bug bites.

So, I'm neither annoyed nor particularly alarmed but I AM curious: If this is

" hives " - a common allergic reaction for which I might take some Benadryl -- is

there any relation to having just started LDN? It appeared exactly 24 hours

after the 1st dose. And seems to have spread a bit by day Three. Nothing on

other parts of the body; just forehead. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: Dr. JM or anyone- Does LDN cause candida?

A: LDN has been noted to aggravate yeast infections and other latent pathogens,

viruses, etc. as the immune system is making early adjustments. It is good to

have natural yeast remedies on board when LDN is started (grapefruit seed

extract, Candex, lauricidin, hi-potency probiotics, etc) to help offset this

possibility. (And of course a good dietary regime that does not encourage gut

inflammation which is usually the predecessor to pathogen invasion).

From Dr. McCandless:

As I have said many times before on this board, anytime someone has a negative

reaction to LDN the first question I would ask is, " What is the diet like? " If I

had a disease such as ALS or MS, I would be more than willing to see if my

dietary exogenous opioids could be causing the negative reaction to a drug that

is helping most of these people get off all their other drugs without

progression of their disease. The reason this is a worthwhile trial is that this

intolerance is affecting their general health and immunity in a negative way.

Unfortunately, sometimes it takes up to 6 months to get gluten out of the

system, so it is not so easy to test

Wonderful info Dr McCandless wrote me/please read
