After fours days of 1.5 mg LDN (taken at bedtime), prescribed by Dr. John M. Sullivan 717 697-5050 and compounded by Skip’s Pharmacy in Boca Raton FL, my peripheral neuropathy is improving.

No side affects. I also take B-1, B-6, B-Complex, and methylcobalamine (under the tongue) and 0.125 mg Mirapex for RLS two hours before bed.

Susan,

Personally, I think it’s always good to maintain a healthy skepticism about any medication being touted as a panacea.

We are still awaiting results of the studies mentioned in the last paragraph of this article. You should be aware, though, that the studies in each case have sample sizes that are quite small. No matter how they turn out, it will almost certainly be necessary to repeat the studies with larger groups to determine what effect, if any, LDN has on MS symptoms.

The doctors in New Mexico seem to think LDN therapy is a panacea. They want me to continue with Co-Paxon, and won’t write script for Naltrexone. Any suggestions?

I am so happy whenever I hear that more people are becoming aware of LDN and what it can do for MS, among other disorders and cancer. I first heard of it, by word of mouth over the internet, about 6 years ago and am so very thankful that I decided to trust my instincts about it. I’ve been taking 4.5mg of it daily ever since and do think it’s the best thing I could have done to combat my MS. I’ve been getting it compounded by Skip’s Pharmacy and can’t say enough about his dedication to the whole concept of LDN. I attended the first ever conference and from what I hear, they are planning their 4th annual conference to be held in California in October 2008. Keep in mind that this is all run by volunteers that believe in this therapy enough to spend their own money to get to the conference in hopes that more people will be informed. My belief is that we are all entitled to this information and with intelligent information come intelligent decisions.

I ditto Cindy’s remarks, except I was diagnosed with MS 6 months ago and have been on LDN now for 4 months.

I’ve noticed major changes in my main symptoms and plan on continuing my treatment on LDN!

I also thank you for publishing this article and helping spread the word about LDN and it’s efficacy in treating MS!
