The LDN Book: How a Little-Known Generic Drug Low Dose Naltrexone Could Revolutionize Treatment for Autoimmune Diseases, Cancer, Autism, Depression, and More

The audience is for people who enjoy science details. I love Chapter 2. This person understands what I have learned by experience. Chapter 5 also was awesome. It says to not use TSH for thyroid...not helpful and it explains why. This book was very validating and I enjoy the science details. LDN may help people avoid other drugs since LDN may help heal the root cause for brain/body health issues....Celiac. LDN is for Celiac health issues...thyroid/cancer/MS/Diabetes/ADD/losing hair/depression/fibromylagia/alcoholism/addictions etc. (Book: Dangerous Grains lists health issues due to Celiac). Tests may not work to diagnose Celiac. LDN helps block hidden gluten. A person still needs to try to not eat gluten since a person can override the low dose of LDN. LDN helps heal the gut lining/helps the immune system work right. It costs about $1 from a compounding pharmacy/Alternative doctor usually. 3 -4.5mg of LDN may help taken at night usually or in the morning if LDN keeps a person awake. LDN is stronger at night when opioid receptors kick in between 2-4 am. LDN in the morning helps, but not as much. LDN lasts 18 hours. LDN helps my brain/heal my intestines/helps my adrenals/liver/eyes/hearing/personality etc. LDN is a miracle. I am not ok without LDN since hidden gluten hurts me. 23% of supplements may have hidden gluten. Gluten maybe in meat basting/some spices...food in a box/bag/label,...lotions etc..Certified gluten free may have 20ppm of gluten which is too much. Microscopic gluten hurts me...takes 1 1 /2 months to heal from. Without LDN I feel like I am dying. I have MS and recently Lyme/coinfections. With LDN I am stable and strong. I get a cellulose filler. Ca filler may block LDN and corn starch filler maybe GMO and corn hurts me. I take my thyroid medicine..wait an hour...take my LDN and wait another hour before I eat. I don't want food to block my medicine. LDN may help 99% of MS people and 85% of HIV people. LDN may help Lyme. People who catch Lyme may have been Celiac which lowers their immune system so Lyme grew and was hard to get rid of until they get Celiac help and LDN. I need no gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO..take vitamins/good oils/minerals...probiotic..LDN..detoxing for my Celiac/MS/Lyme. LDN at night dehydrates me..acts like a diuretic and then constipation. LDN may have not have side effects for most people I know. It is a small white capsule and works like a miracle. Some people eat Paleo to avoid hidden gluten/gluten. I eat Celiac and still eat rice which has a 5 for gluten. This is what I do my my Celiac/MS/Lyme..short/long version: No gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO and vitamins/good oils, LDN and detoxing help me. Vit D3 5000IU, zinc 50mg if detoxing, 2000mg fish oil , 20000mg evening primrose oil. 2000 mg lecithin, Phosphatidylserine/DMAE, krill oil, CLA, Coenzyme Q10, Rhodiola, Mg citrate 400mg, Vit C, 5000mcg of biotin, Nature's Plus- Source of life multiple, HCl and enzymes with meals, dairy free probiotic, Vit B12 methylcobalamin shot/spray/under the tongue kind/intrinsic factor kind, MTHF folate, coenyzme Q10, rhodiola, may help brain/body/thyroid/depression/immune system and more. Gluten is wheat/barley/rye..oats may act like gluten with avenin. GMO corn/soy/canola oil may hurt. Amour thyroid maybe needed since gluten may made antibodies to the thyroid. Coenzymated B vitamins far from synthetic kind make make me calm. Sunlight (helps the immune system and helps to heal the gut lining),exercise, organic food, good water..not tap water, cooking by scratch pure food..... no food in a box/bag/premade/label/restaurant which may help avoid hidden gluten. Certified gluten free food may have 20ppm of gluten...too much. Nuts not sold in the shell/meat basting/some spices may have hidden gluten and lotion/make up etc. One restaurant cooks special for me...rice/veg/tea/extra mushrooms (no meat since the woks may have MSG/gluten in them). EDTA/DMPS IV chelations from an Alternative doctor, 600mg of cilantro, organic sulfur, Now brand- Detox support, Far Infrared Sauna and more may help detox. Hair tests show good minerals and heavy metals. Heavy metals can block thyroid and other chemical reactions in the body/brain. LDN may help block hidden gluten/heal the gut lining and help the immune system, but the Celiac diet is still needed. 100% no gluten..no hidden or microscopic gluten may help. Cutting back on gluten or cheating by eating gluten hurts the immune system. It may take 1 1/2 months to heal the gut lining after getting hidden gluten. Amour thyroid has some T3 and Calcitonin. Synthroid is only T4..may not convert to T3. Zn/Se/enough iron/strong probiotic may help convert T4 to T3 for thyroid. Alternative doctors/chiropractors/acupuncturists and more may help with health/vitamins etc. Longer version: [...]

This book was so much more than I bargained for. It is so filled with research, data, and practical application as well as resources. The podcast that you can get through Amazon prime a great too on LDN. ❤️ I can’t wait for book 3 to come out, it will have more information on other conditions that LDN is helpful with. I really wish they would do an audiobook because so many people have dropped in their thinking abilities due to Covid and Long-Haul that it would make it so much more helpful for them. I recommend that people that can’t read have friends and or Family read it for them. Thanks for all of the doctors in for the wonderful woman who started this foundation to continue education and functional medicine that we can afford, and that is actually safe and doesn’t require us to get additional medication’s to take care of side effects. Such a novel idea.

This is a critically important book that will empower and bring hope to any person dealing with an autoimmune condition or any of several other conditions that seem to be occurring FAR too frequently in these modern times. I never would have known about LDN nor this book had my integrative/holistic MD not told me about it and chances are you won't ever hear about it from your conventional physician. EXTREMELY well written with contributions from some of the most highly credentialed, forward thinking practitioners in the world today in an easily readable format but what's more is that since taking LDN as a part of my treatment plan I have noticed a considerable improvement in my inflammatory autoimmune condition for which I am EXTREMELY grateful and the book really just put it all together for me as a completed picture. My deepest thanks to the author.

The reason I gave the book four stars not 5 is that being on LDN for a while I found that it is more clinical than one for non medical professionals. Perhaps another book needs to be written that a layman can understand and that has reports given by people like me who have benefited so tremendously from LDN. My story is that I have many Auto-immune diseases. Hashimotos Thyroidites, Fibromyalgia, Asthma, Arthrites, Psoriasis, to name many of them. I had pain from damaged tendons, Fibromyaligia, brain fog, memory problems that I thought came from aging as well as these diseases. Trouble breathing, walking any distance, and not being able to sleep. I was taking Amytriptelyn for sleep, the given drug for Fibromyalgia. Could not remember a name I had just heard. A report came out that Amytriptelyn was effecting the brain. and decided I had to get off it. My sister had been on LDN for various AD and had been taking LDN. After reading up on it on some of the sites, I decided to try it. I brought all the info I had on it to my doctor and after 1/2 hour of convincing him to give me an Rx, he did saying we would see what happens and evaluate it in a few months.I started on a small dose taking it with the Amytriptelyn the 1st night. I slept thru the night, waking one and falling back to sleep. In the morning I realized the nasty pain I had in my right shoulder that kept me up every night was not there. I was able to touch my upper arm and felt no pain. My tendon had been mostly destroyed from a medication and could not be repaired. 6 months later I still have no pain. It did not repair itself, but I felt no pain without taking anything harmful. On that first day my brain fog was gone. I could hardly believe it. I was able to breath with ease, something I could not do for many years. I was able to walk the length of my house without stopping every 10 steps. I noticed my energy level went up without me being Hyper Thyroid. Over a weeks time I found I could do things I hadn't done in years. I cleaned and organized my closets and home. I have Scoliosis and had found over the past year I was stooping over. Sitting at the computer one day I got a sharp pain in my spine and thought I was going to be in trouble. I slowly got up and to my amazement found I was standing straight. I think my endorphins relaxed my muscles or whatever. It was a miracle for me. I knew from my sister that her friend who had MS was able to walk again after taking LDN. My memory came back and is now phenomenal. If I watched a movie on T.V. before, I could not remember the name of it after it started. Now I remember the name of movies and the actors in them that I saw yesterday and months ago. It is just extraordinary and if it did not happen to me I would probably not believe it. My pulse dropped 10 points from 80 to 70. and I lost 20 lbs without making any changes in my diet or lifestyle. All I can say is that LDN has truly been a miracle for me. I enjoy life now and feel so alive. I stopped taking Amytryptoline after the first night and have stayed on the low dose of 1.5mg that I started on. I hope people read this as I am not the only one who has found this to be a miracle drug. It may help you understand what is can do if you can't understand the clinical information in the book.

My functional medicine doctor recommended this book and I then promptly bought it for my sibling and a. Good friend. There are so many potential benefits from LDN from IBS, to autoimmune to cancer and more. Some chapters are really written for doctors-just skim past those as it is more detail than most of us can absorb or understand. 😊

Wow! Very informative book on LDN and its uses. I am a pharmacist and had no idea of all the uses for LDN. This was a great educational read for me that I intend to share with my local providers.

Eye-opening, succinct, extremely valuable information. Just finally found an internal medicine doctor who will prescribe LDN for my Hashimoto's and Sjogren's. I have been able to slow down symptoms by adhering strictly to the autoimmune protocol diet, but at age 66 have not been able to stop or reverse either disease. Only just started on the LDN so way too soon to see results, but am very hopeful, especially since I also just found alpha lipoic acid supplements (the good kind by Pure Encapsulations) and so, between the LDN and the ALA, am more hopeful than have been in a very long time. The great thing is, neither of these two things can hurt you, and so why not go for it? However, I will say, I am convinced that if you dump the autoimmune diet and try to take these pills instead, you will just be undoing yourself -- like pouring gasoline on the fire while also trying to pour water on it, you will be fooling yourself.

Disappointing. Not much more information in here than you could find in a very quick google search. If you spent a few hours googling, you'd learn a lot more than you would spending 8 hours reading this.

This was a very informative book if you have any questions, concerns or wish to learn more about LDN and what it can do for you. It is filled with current information on the subject and will help you decide if you want to try this relatively harmless but very helpful drug. It addresses proper dosing and sites in detail certain disease conditions for which it has been helpful and why. If you have immune concerns or issues I highly recommend you read this book and go on the websit of LDN.

This book champions LDN - an amazing drug that for many patients can re-boot the immune system , enabling the body to halt or cure immune-deficiency diseases such as MS, Lipus, IBS, CFS/ME, restless-legs syndrome, depression, autism and cancer. It is very safe and very cheap - so why is it not widely used? Because it is out-of patent and licenced for use at high doses but not yet at low doses. This process takes big money, but no company will fund it since they cannot patent LDN. Moreover, LDN threatens profits as it is so cheap compared to the drugs currently used to treat auto-immune diseases ....but the NHS would stand to save millions, AND provide a SAFE treatment.. This book has been compiled by the founder of the brilliant website [...] which informs patients how to get LDN prescribed off-label, and provides both scientific research and patient reports. Various authors have written chapters for this book covering the up-to-date knowlege and research on LDN, and the history behind its creation and why there is an international battle to make this drug widely available to patients by funding the necessary research. This book is suitable for GPs, consultants, scientists and patients who wish to decide if LDN can help them. I would urge GPs to read it as only they can prescribe LDN off-label on the NHS - and LDN offers great hope to patients whose current options are very limited and who often suffer severe side-effects from other medications. I think LDN will be a game-changer. Helping the immune system to cure diseases is the way forward. This book is a very welcome summary of current knowlege and readers may wish to also read the 2009 book by Moore and Wilkinson titled ' The Ldn Book: How a Little-Known Generic Drug Low Dose Naltrexone Could Revolutionize Treatment for Autoimmune Diseases, Cancer, Aut The Promise of Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy'.

Both more and less than what i expected.

Un livre écrit à plusieurs mains. Il contient des informations sur différents domaines. Ce qui le rend facile à lire et élargit la vision à d'autres recherches. Un livre très intéressant !

Soy médico. Me ha convencido. No digo nada más. El problema es que en este país no es fácil encontrarlo.
