Now off of anti-inflammatory for almost a week. Only one half-pill one afternoon. So, I am just a little heavier/slower/whatever feeling, but not in pain and I have got to figure out what it is so that I can continue it. Funny, if I had taken the herbs Zyflamend (or whatever they are called), I would have sworn by them, which in itself is a very good lesson.
So, why am I not having inflammation?
1) the inflammation subsided because the original irritant that caused my body to react with inflammation is now gone.
2) six months of naltrexone have increased endorphins in my body to such an extent that the endorphins are high enough to prevent inflammation
3) Vegetarian week with small servings of kale almost every day, sweet potatoes, roasted plantains, ginger, turmeric. etc. (The vegetarian part is easy to check by eating some beef which is supposed to be inflammatory).
4) daily water exercise (walking in water up to my waist/chest).
5) daily ocean dips (salt water?)
Your guess is as good as mine. Please share it. I have got to figure out why this is working because my doctor says the meloxicam is taxing on the kidneys and wants me off.

as to originalpost? combo of reasons 1 and 2 is my best guess, having come off NSAID therapy myself in past. I have eaten veggie diet since I was 4, and for me it was irrelevant. And water therapy also made no diff to inflam for me. So that is my experience. I never did LDN, but given what I know of it, that would make sense.... and I live in mtns, no ocean dips here, alas!!!
