Through my consistent ongoing research to hopefully find either a cure for this dreaded disease or at least find a way to slow it down.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a drug which can help treat an array of cancers, central nervous system disorders, autoimmune diseases, and a variety of other issues.
Originally, Naltrexone was prescribed and FDA approved in much higher doses (50 mg to 300 mg) to treat drug and alcohol addiction. Our focus though is on much lower doses of Naltrexone (1.5 mg to 4.5 mg) and its multiple medicinal benefits
LDN works by blocking the opioid growth factor and opioid growth factor receptor pathway in your body, which in turn helps to boost your body’s immune system and natural defenses.
By blocking this pathway temporarily, the body then tries to compensate by producing more beta-endorphin and met-enkephalin (your body’s natural opioids). Many body tissues have receptors for these endorphins and enkephalins, including every cell of the body’s immune system.
LDN May Treat ALS and PLS
In patients with degenerative illnesses such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), the illness progression is slowed. People with ALS may even regain already lost function.
Patients notice improvements in muscle weakness, spasms, physical and speech coordination, ability to breathe, and fatigue.
In one small study, two patients showed significant improvement in their breathing, as measured by a forced vital capacity (FVC). One had a 25% improvement within two months of beginning LDN and the other an 11% improvement. A third patient had improvement in his ability to breathe and a reduction in his resting pulse from 96 to the low 80’s.
I’m fifteen days into my LDN treatment and, as of yet, no real noticeable difference. I’v only recently moved up from the 1.5ml beginner’s dose, which had to stay like that for two weeks, to 2ml. It then moves up 0.5ml every week until I reach 4.5ml. It’s obviously going to take longer than fifteen days, probably months, but I’m not a very patient person.
You never know!!
I’m extremely hopeful of this drug.
Just over a couple of weeks ago I had the last of all my amalgam fillings removed. Eighteen in total. Eleven done all at once in the last sitting. Two and a half hours in the dentist’s chair.
I had read, and been warned by my functional health practitioner, that I may experience some disease progression after removal as the mercury doesn’t take well to being “irritated”. Since removal my right arm, my “good arm”, isn’t all that good anymore. I’m truly hoping that it’s because of the amalgam removal and not disease progression as the amalgam stuff you get back once the mercury has gone. Fingers crossed!!
That’s the story so far though I do have a couple of other things, tests, to get done. One is an expensive long shot for Lyme disease. I’ve got to rule everything out!!!
I’ll keep you posted!!!
This is why I have my go fund me page as all my stuff is self funded. I am unable to work.
