Dr. Bihari explained to me that just as the sex hormone testosterone controls sexual function, so do endorphins control and regulate the immune system. Dr. Bihari said that endorphins are produced nightly between the hours of 9 pm and 2 am and that 4.5 mg LDN, if taken between these hours, triples endorphin production bringing the levels up to normal. He claimed that if endorphin production is regulated, they would be able to control and regulate the immune system. Hence, the immune system would no longer be able to attack itself. He told me that was why none of the MS patients progressed. It was that simple!!!!
As I have said before, if I had MS, the only drug that I would absolutely be
taken is LDN. I wouldn't care what it took, or who I had to insult. In 4
years of dispensing LDN, with over 10,000 patient months, I have heard of
only three cases of exacerbation. I am waiting for our new resident to come
in and I will have exact numbers, but this is truely a no-brainer. I would
find some one to prescribe it no matter the cost or effort.

LDN comes from the drug Naltrexone. Naltrexone is an FDA approved drug for opiod and alcohol addiction. The dosage for LDN (hence the term Low dose naltrexone) is much lower than a typical Naltrexone dosage.
What type of fillers do we use?
We use immediate release fillers. Any sustained released fillers will slow down absorption. This would release the medication over a long period of time and you would not get the full benefit.
When do I take LDN?
You take it at bedtime between 9 pm & 11 PM.
Why is it prescribed at bedtime?
Theoretically, So that it will work in conjunction with your immunological system at the right time.
What is the issue with the Liver?
The 50 mg tablet (The regular dose used in opiod and alcohol addiction) can increase liver enzymes. Keep in mind that these people probably already have problems with their livers so this information is inconclusive.
Can I take LDN with the other MS drugs?
You can take LDN with Copaxone but not with Avonex or Beta Seron.
Can I take LDN with Zanaflex?
Yes
Is LDN helpful with spascity?
Not Directly
Does LDN make you tired?
Not usually
What is the procedure for getting it?

"Using these types of drugs to treat MS is a guarantee for disaster. In no way, shape or form do these drugs treat the underlying cause of the disease, yet they have a significant potential for causing dangerous side effects. MS is not a simple thing to put into remission. The chance of going into remission with conventional treatments is close to zero. The chances increase considerably when employing intelligent natural therapies........" For further information, refer to Dr Mercola's report |
