Dr Nicholas J. Palermo and Pharmacist Gene Gresh guest on the LDN Radio Show 28th March (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Dr Nicholas Palomo and Gene Gresh share their experience with Low dose Naltrexone.

We've been asked to compound LDN occasionally over the past 20 years but Gene really became familiar with it about three years ago.

And we had some pretty amazing success with a number of patients. Gene came across a number of studies and was excited because now we had some evidence that supported a lot of the anecdotal evidence that we had seen over the years.

Dr Nicholas was at his dentist's office and the receptionist was telling him that she had Hashimoto's disease and was on something called Naltrexone at a very small dose and it had basically reversed her Hashimoto's and she had never felt better in her life that turned out to be Low dose Naltrexone.

Dr Nicholas has been patients with all sorts of different symptoms and illnesses from Hashimoto's to colitis, slight arthritis, Polymyalgia rheumatica, significant results with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, depression, various cancer patients.

Many of them are coming back with saying that their overall state of wellbeing has definitely been better.

Some of his patients have seen results within the first one to two months, others, especially Ms. patients have taken anywhere from six to 12 months. So what I stress now is go low and go slow and that's why I use the protocol of 1.5 milligrams for two weeks, and then see how they do three milligrams.

Then 4.5 milligrams. There have been a few of my patients that haven't done well at nighttime, and I've actually switched them to the daytime. And that seems to have worked really well.

And in that same light, any of my patients who have multiple sensitivities, whatever they may be, as well as multiple allergies, I will start off even at 0.5 even start lower.

And what I've also found is that many of them have genetic snippets that are related, especially MTHFR in particular. And for whatever reason, I'm certainly not a genetic specialist, but they seem to have a different sensitivity as well.

And being fortunate enough to be a family physician, those with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, I definitely found to have mitochondrial dysfunction.

So I will use a formula to help enhance mitochondrial functioning. And I have found that in concert with LDN, it makes a huge difference. And then I also work with them and I would probably say 60 to 80% of my patients with CFS or fibromyalgia that they have various needs that have not been met from whatever reason.

And we also think it is important to look to other things like gut microbiome, sleeping patterns, hormones,  infection and inflammation, their nutrition and exercise and play. Most of our patients (I've worked with hundreds of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients) are just not getting enough fun in their life.

And then detoxification.

I have a friend who was in the military for many years and has some form of PTSD and severe depression. He was on three different medications and still wasn't doing well and had many breakthroughs. I suggested that he started LDN and after four months, his wife called me up and said: " Oh my goodness gracious. What are you giving him?"

And I also put them on methyl folate because he was MTHFR positive.

I was also at the Berlin conference.

There was especially helpful for me with children and how LDN can be helpful in cases of autism and ADHD.
