The LDN Book: How a Little-Known Generic Drug — Low Dose Naltrexone — Could Revolutionize Treatment for Autoimmune…

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.

This book gave me lots of good information about LDN's health benefits. I started using LDN for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and I am already feeling better with more energy and motivation to take care of household chores and go out and socialize again after many years of not being able to do much of anything.

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.

Anyone on LDN needs this book! Most doctors dont know anything about the drug. Its worth carrying to every doctor you see to explain what and how it works! Because if you Google ldn it doesn't give you the right information about low dose Naltrexone! A must have!!!

This is an excellent book. Thanks to this book I am using LDN for my Fibromyalgia. I recently had an appointment with Dr. Shukhman in Skokie, IL.This medication has helped many of his patients. My internist would not prescribe it for my Fibromyalgia, so I had no choice but to seek the help of a neurophyschiatrist who knows a great deal about pain. It is not a cure, but even it helps you only 10% it is worth it. I am taking this along with the medication prescribed by my internist, Savella and Klonopin. Most people with this disease know that it is a disease where there is no one drug that will fix all. There is no cure for this disease, but this might help you or someone you know. I have had this disease for over 30 yrs. years.CW

i have what has been uncontrollable RA. i have been on LDN for 3 months. am off rituxan and down to 10mg of mtx. i feel great!

Very informative and well written. Before I finished the first chapter I was silently screaming, "Why doesn't everyone know about LDN?!?!" Buy the book and learn how to improve your health by modulating your immune system with a one time a day LDN dose. It's a compounded prescription pill but low cost. Well worth it!

Excellent book written by doctors. It explains LDN in layman's terms, but with sufficient scientific and medical perspective to satisfy other doctors. Finally!

Very informative book and a MUST for anyone with ME/CFS, MS and Fibromyalgia in particular. As someone who suffers from CFS and on the drug myself I have found it very helpful in understanding my condition as well as the politics behind the lack of knowledge of the existence of this medication. I have recommended this book to several people since my recent purchase of it.Great purchase which was worth every penny.

Detailed, thorough, impressive, I hope this book sells well to the medical community. LDN could save a lot of people a lot of discomfort, and used as a prophylactic could save many of us from the long slide into infirmity. Loved the YouTube videos by Jackie Young Bihari and her late husband Dr Bihari on LDN.

If you are looking for accuracy and detail, backed up with medical references. This is the right book for both patients looking into possible solutions with low side effects or clinicians who want to help with increasing number of chronic conditions occurring in younger patients.

Every body should read if they have health issues

Informative but a bit too much detail to take in for a layman! However for a medical person it is well worth following up.
