This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

sorry, this may have been answered elsewhere, but the interferons supress the immune system and LDN stimulates the immune system, so the two work completely against each other. it's one reason why many dr.s won't perscribe LDN because the traditional line for tackling MS is to surpress the immune system, becasue it is faulty.

Like burntsienna, I have not noticed any changes since taking LDN these last several months. It didn't seem to decrease my insulin production (which was the effect I REALLY wanted). So I have stopped.

sorry lyndacarol if i implyed that i had been taking it. i've never been on it, i've just been researching it and trying to figure out what i have to do to get it.

I have not yet started but will be soon and am very hopeful and encouraged...my neurologist was SO supportive. He knew all about LDN, has several patients on it, and just said, "Yes, it's a good idea....WANT A SCRIPT FOR THAT?" And I was like, "YES!!!"

I did not expect it to be that simple. I was SO happy when I left my appointment the other day!!!

I hope you can find a doctor to prescribe LDN. LDN cannot be taken with immune supressing drugs and not with steroids. LDN is a slow an progressive improvement so stay with it when you start. The optimal dose is 4.5mg daily. If you wish to start slowly begin with 3.0mg for the first month and then increase to 4.5mg. GOOD LUCK!

I just called Dr Steven Myers does not prescribe LDN. Anybody have a contact for Chicago who does?

Hi , you can go to the following board and see if they can recommend someone: http://ldn.proboards3.com/v45index.cgi?
Good Luck!

Thanks!!

I'm in day 4 of a water fast at the moment. Gonna see how far I can go.
Read a book by Dr Joel Fuhrman called "Fasting and Eating for Health".
Thought I'd give it a go.

Got some info sent to me from somebody I emailed about this. Gonna follow up and see if I can get a prescription.

Although we do not keep lists of physicians who might be open to prescribing LDN, here are two websites that should be of assistance in finding such a doctor in your area:
1) www.acam.org
Once there, just choose your state in the Find An ACAM Physician chart.
2) www.lef.org
Once there, click on Health Concerns at the top, then, on its page, click on Innovative Practitioners, and then on Innovative Doctors. Then choose your state or country.

P.S. - And, try asking the many members of the LDN-Yahoo Group.

Saw him today and asked about the LDN. He is willing to prescribe it, but doesn't believe in its effectiveness as he bases his opinions on scientific evidence rather than "anecdotal" and testimonial comments. He prefers Rebif or Copaxone.

Jolley's Compounding Pharmacy is the only one I checked with (short notice) today, and it's $44 for a months supply of 30 capsules.

Hi everyone, hope someone can help ... I have ppms and have been diagnosed for approx. 1 year but believe I have had for a number of years before hand. It is hard getting a concrete diagnosis here. I am gradually getting worse month after month and because there is no treatment here I would like to try LDN but getting it is another matter so anyone who can help with NZ or Australia would be greatly appreicated. Hope someone can help because I am getting sick of banging my head against a brick wall!
