- Dr. Daniel Kantor speaks with Dr. Anthony Turel from the Healthcare Provider Council about the effects of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) on Multiple Sclerosis patients.
I started taking LDN in 2011, when I was first diagnosed with Ms. I was an avid runner, weight lifter, because of MS, I lost those abilities plus fatigue and brain fog was very debilitating. Luckily I started taking LDN within a year after diagnosis. Those symptoms went away in 6 weeks and I've never had a relapse since! Now 2022.
What dose?
Yeah what dose?
@@kvk2182 4.5mg

@@watchgirl772 How long did you have to take 4.5mg.
I have been taking LDN for 4 weeks now at a very small dose 0.5 ml gradually working my way up. I've had major chronic fatigue for 16 years with no help from the medical community. The first thing I noticed because I sleep with a sleep apnea machine. I went from sleeping 4 and 1/2 hours a night to sleeping seven and a half hours a night no waking up in between. I've had no adverse side effects.
I hate to be nosy but I wondered if you've been taking pain medications prior to this and if so how many days did you stop taking pain medication before starting LDN?
@@Germatti13489 I stopped the majority pain medicine and actually all medications over the last few years long before I started LDN. I've started using CBD oil and occasionally an Advil. My biggest complaint has been fatigue.
@@karinkissinger5106 has ldn helped with the fatigue much?
@@benb995 Not alot but I'm only up to 1 mg
I had fybro Also lupus getting tested on
t immuun disease...i started verry low ând build up...read books about it ..and its verry hard to get ...did it...
Glad he's using his hand to speak. I wonder if his explanations are as good with him not moving his hand.
In other words it's an immune modulator. I take it for mast cell disorder which causes very high histamine levels and that in turn was causing urticaria when I would eat certain foods. At .75mg it definitely works, but it nearly wipes me out the next day. Been on it for 8 weeks trying different dosages and still can't shake the fatigue it causes the next day.
So why do people say it cures their fatigue and insomnia
Where can i find studies? Why is not ldn aproved for ms? Are there any clinical trials on course?
call compounding pharmacies that make it for info and get info on CZcams then presented to your doctor. I had to call the pharmacist back and I relayed his prescription instructions to my doctor while in the exam room.or there are doctors online that will prescribe it and pharmacies that will fill it online.
"Why is not ldn aproved for ms?" No one earns patent money from it anymore (it's too old) and therefore it's not profitable. It works extremely well, but not that easy to get access to because of initially mentioned reason. It is actively kept from patients, but some doctors do their best to provide it, despite being targeted by the industry for doing so. It doesn't cure the disease (neither do the approved drugs), but can take away most of the symptoms and relapses as long as you use it. No, to minor, side effects. Cheap. Research it further. You won't regret that you did.
Luckily big pharma doesn't have its hands on LDN because now it's affordable! SKIPS pharmacy in Florida compounds LDN. Only $95 for 3 months with a Dr script.
I started my first infusion of Ocrevus yesterday, but I would like to try LDN with it because I have terrible fatigue. My doctor said she has never heard of it..
I’m taking LDN with Ocrevus. After 3 months of Ocrevus, the spasticity and fatigue eventually returns. Since taking 3 mg of LDN daily, I’ve experienced increased energy and the spasticity has decreased.
A lot of things doctors have never heard of.
Your my hero .
Like many others..could do it without ldn
Any ms patient taking this drug?
I take it. So far so good and I'm still increasing
Thats a lot ..im no docter ..i can not say anything becease i dont now what your symptomes are and i my self..was desperete...i started low and build it up..it helpt me to get a little better ...hope you feel better soon ...al beginings are difficult ...
What about patients who have been on long term pain meds like Tramadol? What effects would switching to low dose Naltrexone have on the system? I imagine there would have to be a period where the patient takes nothing....before beginning LDN.
I used tramadol 1-2 times a week, and went without for probably two weeks before I started. But since I used it so rarely I could probably start earlier. I've only used it for a month (neurological borreliosis/lyme & ME) and I can already tell that it is helping. Especially with fatigue.
I have read where one paper said to wait at least seven days without any opioids to prevent any abdominal discomfort and then I read today that to wait two weeks prior to starting it. I have tapered my pain med down to one a day, then thought I would stop for 7 days but should I wait 14 days?
You cant take opiods.sorry for my bad english ...its danger if you take it with ldn..need to get it out of your systhem first....I did detox
@@Metaphoria_Music i took tramadol 2 ...get it out ..you need to get al the bad medication out its making you sicker ...I know the pain is unbairebul...I can relate to that...first your systhem will wont to get the ldn out ..oh body would take it...it needs to get in balans ..with the ldn ...its difficult in the begining ...when you have the right mg you start to feel better ...I was in max 3 ..then i changed the dose..never whent higher than 3 ...4.5 is max ...it all deppends on your body and how it reacts
I took 6 tramacet a day for many years. Did not stop at all before taking LDNand I've had amazing results in this past 3 weeks. More pain relief than I've ever gotten from anyting! I have even taken a couple of tramacet since starting LDNjust to see if it would cause adverse reaction or if it would just not help at all and to my surprise it actually still helps. I have found by talking in different forms and being on different LDN research groups and so on other people have experienced this as well specifically with tramacet
That dude is about to have a heart attack
😂
You can fitst read the book ...ldn...its verry intressting ..
Been on LDN now for ten years with my MS. Praise God for this drug. Feel amazing. Also suggest following the Overcomingmultiplesclerosis plan by George Jelinek. Game changer for me ❤
I was told to take LDN at night...? In the video the Dr says it's best taken in the morning. Are there pros or cons on the time the medication is taken?
I’m curious as well…
One of the side effects may be vivid dreams when taken at night
I like morning dose because I’ll get a mild endorphin / energy boost in late afternoons which helps with ending work and putting kids to bed. If that happened while I sleepy it would seem like a waste. Though, this effect has faded after I’ve been on it for many months. It’s still working to ameliorate my auto immune body flairs.
@@KD-gr6dd it is a great side effects😀
Can cause insomnia if taken at night
Chill
Like yes Not emtendisay nAday
