low dose naltrexone. check out the web site it will give you more information.

It is low dose naltrexone. It was FDA approved drug called Naltrexone 50mg., prescribed for heroine and alcoholic recovery...at surprisingly very low dose between 1.5 to 3.5mg it has startling capabilities for many different diseases! Hope this helps some

Maggie scroll down on discussions lists. I have been researching it too. I have printed and am researching it as much as I can. I would first listen to LDN Interview with Dr. Skip Lenz on WOR. posted by LarryLDN. It's a nice introduction.

LDN is God's Gift of discovery to Dr. Bernard Bihari back in the 1980s, in NYC, with a HIV patients dying on him left and right. Using his own brand of logic with the problems found in 50MG x3/day dosing, he tested his theory and found that a temporary blockade of those receptors the 50MG kept permanently blocked, would orchestrate an immune system and keep his aids patients alive longer.

The story goes that his daughter had a friend going rapidly downhill with MS, she wondered if MS were an auto immune disease, would it help her. So she was the first MS guinea pig.

She went from having attacks to no attacks. Was 17 years when I first heard it, so must be 21-22 years now.

In 2000, Dr. Gluck, a childhood friend of Dr. Bihari, had a son who was a webdesigner. They designed http://www.ldninfo.org , and the rest, as they say, is history.

LDN Will go down in history as the most important medical breakthrough since penicillin.

That's Dr. Skip's quote.

I just wish I'd have found it even just 1 year sooner, before the attack that left for dead. 10 attacks in 11 years through 3/02. None since 4/17/03 when I started LDN. I was starting to flare in March, I couldn't leave home without bathroom hopping, 20 minute jumps. I was ready to die. So LDN literally gave me back a life. Took me a while to realizes who's.

I know this is an old post but does anyone know if LDN can be used with interferon beta treatment?

I don't think it will hurt, but may not be effective. The Interferons suppress the immune system, while LDN releases endorphins to align the immune sytem, and the effect of an interferon may cancel the benefit of LDN. However, it may be used successfully with Copaxone.

I hope this helps

wow, way old post!
