Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Idk, it seems that there has been a mass campaign on various chat groups concerning LDN or Low dose naltrexone - a drug designed for and prescribed to alcoholics. I read about the drug and encourage all to perhaps avail themselves of real information concerning this option as I fail to see why it would be a good short or long term option for anyone who deals with celiacs. Could it be that there are individuals more involved with the pharma companies manufacturing naltrexone and that this is a idea seeding event? Very clever tactic, and it works, but we are not all so gullible, so ease up already OK. --- On Mon, 6/22/09, Eleni <jesusgirl34 wrote: Eleni <jesusgirl34 Re: Rheumatoid arthritis + infections Monday, June 22, 2009, 4:37 AM Hi, I haven't posted here ever...I'm always trying to gain knowledge and learn from others experiences. I'm also on the " LDN lowdosenaltrexone " . I always see many people posting about RA. I'm on there bc of MS but I have read that LDN has helped many RA sufferers. LDN is for cancer & many other autoimmune diseases incl. autism. Seems to be a fascinating discovery. I've been on LDN for about a week so it is too soon to tell you if I feel better. I need to give it some months to take charge. Sorry I can't give you much more info for I am still learning & wouldn't want to mislead you. You can also google " LDN and RA " to see what type of info you get or sign up to that . I believe you'll learn lots for there's many there that have lots of knowledge to help you & answer your questions. Make sure you research LDN & if you decide to start on it maybe alot of your pain will be alleviated. Just don't give up hope. Hang in there. Oh and you'll get lots of info on the types of food diet you can do to benefit your situation.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm just learning about LDN. Actually it is not prescribed for alcoholics... the higher dose is. The low dose is miniscule and has been on the market for decades but it is not effective for alcoholics. I think the reason LDN is getting better known now is that it has been shown in many cases to help all kinds of auto immune diseases and because the Europeans are now conducting serious clinical studies. My preference is to live drug free but if something works, does not have negative side effects and improves the quality of my life - which pretty much stinks now because of auto immune diseases, I'm willing to do the research, read the studies and make an educated decision for myself. Then I'm happy to share my experience, positive or negative with others. I appreciate when others share their experiences with me. And that bloody LDN is only about 10 dollars for a month's worth. I'm waiting for the results of more studies before I take a decision. Diana - DragonFly Simon<dragonfly777_68 To: <\ om> Monday, June 22, 2009 7:01 PM LDN lowdosenaltrexone - Enough already Oi!
