LDN Awareness Week

I'm behind on my blogging because my daughter has had a cold, complicated by allergies, the rest of us have gotten it, and the Texas Rangers have been distracting me. Audrey is hopefully getting better, the rest of us are feeling better, and Michael and I going to the Ranger game tomorrow!

What has me blogging tonight is Low Dose Naltrexone, or LDN. I have a rare auto immune disease called Pemphigoid Gestationis. I have a 92% chance of it flaring up if I get pregnant again. Right now, the main treatment is high doses and long term use of Prednisone. Prednisone is as awful as it is wonderful. I was relieved to take it and as relieved to get off of it. I REALLY don't want to take Prednisone in that way ever again...meaning I wasn't going to try for another child.

I recently read about a wonder drug that can regulate your immune system and it has very little and mild side effects (vivid and/or scary dreams). It's called LDN and it is a lower dose of an FDA approved drug, naltrexone, that is used to help heroine addicts. Large doses are safe, so one can assume that small doses are too.

It can help with all of these diseases:

Isn't that a long list?! So why haven't you heard about it? It's a cheap drug and pharmaceuticals can't make money off of it and won't fund the proper research in order for the FDA to approve it. Remember, regular Naltrexone is approved by the FDA. Why not take the high dose stuff? This video will explain how LDN works and why only low doses work.


Here are some websites you can do more research with:

If you research LDN and believe it's a wonder drug, please spread the word about it. It can help and save so many.

To combat the symptoms of cancer found a pain medication very good that you can buy online without a prescription medication called vicodin.
