I take LDN for severe, painful, inherited restless leg syndrome. It took only 2 weeks to start working and I have never looked back. I have been spreading the word about this drug to anyone who will listen and everyone I have recommended it to with RLS has had the same result as me. It has literally saved my life as I was in a very dark place thinking I would be in this pain forever. Never be able to sit down from about 5.00.p.m or sleep at night.

This is so exciting that the benefits of LDN are getting out. Dr. Campbell will spread this vital information worldwide.

My doctor suggested I start LDN more than 15 years ago when I was diagnosed with RA sjorgens syndrome, painful facet syndrome. I’ve had PRP and prolotherapy for the facet pain which helps for short periods of time. I’ve used LDN on & off for 15 years (2mg) is enough for me. Reason for me going off for periods of time due to nervousness and sleep issues. Which still can occur from time to time. 3 months ago I prayed about going to a rheumatologist and going on an injectable…..(didn’t really want to do that but I needed something to turn my pain around ) I asked my doctor to start prescribing again and started .5, then 1mg now 2 mg. I have been basically facet & fibromyalgia free for 2 & 1/2 months. I’m Thankful and I hope more doctors start prescribing. I agree with Dr Campbell it grieves me that more healthcare providers are not prescribing. Bottomline is many doctors do not have time to research the literature.

Thank you Dr. Campbell & Dr Cohen for covering LDN and being courageous to stand up and speak up against the main stream censorship. Please change the title to include LDN as I've been searching for a while and this just popped up. Ive been suffering from chronic joint pain, fatigue and inflammation since I had covid 3 years ago. This has turned into a spondylitis AxSpa and I finally found a doctor who is willing to try something more than the typical prescription causing so many side effects. I hope LDN helps me. Btw Ive changed my diet to ketovare 6 months now and that has halved my recovery time when I get a flare but not the magic bullet.

Low-dose Naltrexone solved my rapid heart rate issue I've been battling for YEARS. And I sleep like a ROCK. The deepest most restorative sleep. On week 3 of the stuff and I feel like layers of trauma are slowly being lifted day by day.

Hello to you both, I have been taking LDN for five years. I pay for it from a pharmacy in Glasgow. I have had Fibromyalgia for 15 years. This is the only drug that has helped me with pain reduction. And gives me some semblance of a normal life. I’ve told doctors about it but they always say that they don’t know about it. I say that you could help other fibro sufferers if you prescribed it but as it’s unlicensed and so cheap I guess they’d never make any money out of it. I researched LDN for two years before I decided to give it a try. ( Dr. Jared Younger) I also have come off it twice just to check that it does work and my pain comes flooding back and I’m like a cripple. So I am back on the LDN again. I titrated with liquid to start then gradually upped to 3mg where I am today. I did try 4.5 but the nightmares were too frequent. So went back to 3mg and am ok. I wish more people would know about LDN, I am always telling anyone who will listen about it.

@@angeminc it also has significantly helped my stomach problems which I had before covid jab, but it got so bad after I couldn't eat solid foods for months. They called it covid stomach, but the meds the GI doctor gave me didn't help and had horrible side effects. LDN actually helps the stomach and intestines produce mucosal lining. The reason why I was unable to eat was because the jab caused acute pancreatitis,which caused my body to stop producing Digestive enzymes. So between the LDN and the digestive enzymes I had to purchase and take with each meal I was finally able to eat solid food. When I say my body had a severe reaction I mean it was bad. The entire GI took 1.5 years to resolve and I also lost the ability walk for two days, still have heart issues,etc.. the list goes on. It was disheartening to be turned away by the medical community over and over again because they packed the critical faculty to be proactive and progressive about my case. The second I mentioned it also started after the Jab I was seen as a crazy person and treated like it. Over a two year period I finally got a better group of doctors but it was so much work for me to walk them through my illness what was going on and how to cure it. The alternative medicine doctor jumped on it right away and was the greatest help, but as a DOM she can't prescribe LDN or anything. She was the one who told me to get on it. And she also recommended quercitin, histax by integrative therapeutics, amino acids and other treatments. Peptide infusions help but are too expensive. The acupuncture and cupping helped.

I have the same question. I did a little googling and found an articel at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3962576/ that actually mentions this idea! Here is part of the text: "The hypothesis that naltrexone and naloxone operate via glial cells to exert their beneficial actions is supported by work with dextro-naltrexone. Dextro-naltrexone is a stereoisomer of naltrexone which is active at microglia receptors but has no activity on opioid receptors [26]. Dextro-naltrexone possesses analgesic and neuroprotective properties [27]. Therefore, the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects of naltrexone do not appear to be dependent on opioid receptors." I haven't read through the references yet, but it does seem to validate the approach. You should be able to take this at MUCH higher doses than the right-handed version without any ill effects on the opiod receptors. My neurologist increased my prescription to 6mg/day but I think it's likely that the benefits is threshold-dependent with most of the benefits at doses higher than the standard 4.5mg/day for real benefit. Dextro-naltrexone could solve this problem. I can't undertand why there is so little research on this.

Hey bud, I’ve had long Covid or post viral syndrome for close to a year now. I’ve poured through the literature too and I’ve been really angry - with my GP, the health system and regulators etc. But these docs are not the enemy, they are trying to help. I met John Campbell last month at a conference on Covid and he is an incredible, principled man who has provided lots of valuable information to people suffering from the virus and the vaccines. I started LDN a few days back and it’s been helping a lot. Keep your head up mate you’ll get through it.

hard on the liver to take every day, plus it makes you feel like your on an amphetamine. CBD is more effective

CBD is also hard on the liver. LDN does act as a stimulant for some people at higher doses. I had to stay at 1.5mg because I felt wired and irritable at 2mg LDN.

Not hard on the liver at low doses like are being discussed here (4.5 mg or less). Low dose Naltrexone is *completely* different animal from standard dose Naltrexone. Two different things.

Completely inaccurate trash. LDN is not hard on the liver seeing as Naltrexone even at 100mg is very rarely associated with liver damage and LDN dosage is between 0.2-4.5mg.

What mg level did you start at and settle at?

I've been suffering all of these symptoms for 2 years now and it will be interesting suggesting this medication to my Doctor in New Zealand. We have a massive issue here since CV with the health system dictating to all medical professions NOT to give anyone anything not prescribed by the WHO or other major authorities that shouldn't be, I've had certain drugs for arthritis and gerd red flagged in real time on their computer screens with a warning of police interventions legally if they prescribe certain drugs, which incidentally happen to be alternatives to the CV JAB!

How did it go with your Dr? (also, 'arthritis and gerd'? what is 'gerd'? Can you say which drugs were red-flagged?)

I am on LDN, for my primary Progressive multiple sclerosis. For 7 yrs now. I have progressed in the disease, but I felt more energy when I started it! Please, include me in your study, I volunteer! My neurologist doesn't support me in my use of LDN. My primary, naturopath MD, subscribes it to me.😮

I got covid in March 2020 and had a bad case for 2 1/2 months. Occasionally, during this time I took one of my wife's vicodin and it made a tremendous difference in how bad I felt and also helped to stifle my terrible cough. Just an amateur observation.
