LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

Nancy - Australia: Relapsing Polychondritis, Sjögren's Syndrome (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Nancy from Australia takes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Relapsing Polychondritis and Sjögren's Syndrome.  Nancy had symptoms for 5 years and was diagnosed four years ago when she was 68. Nancy had just finished a year of treatment for breast cancer and suddenly got pericarditis, which is inflammation of the pericardium around the heart. Her daughter was told that her diagnosis was hopeless. 

With conflicting advice from her immunologist and her doctor, Nancy did her own research and found an article about Low Dose Naltrexone.  Nancy had to source the LDN herself as her doctors were unwilling to prescribe it but once she had it she very quickly felt improvements in her symptoms. She had more energy and less pain, the inflammation beginning to subside. Nancy’s advice to anybody with autoimmune problems is to give it a try, it’s made a big difference to Nancy’s quality of life.

Mary - United Kingdom: Sjögren’s Syndrome, Lymphoma, Lupus, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

I am Mary from the United Kingdom and I take low dose naltrexone (LDN) for a variety of autoimmune conditions and cancer.

Two and a half years ago I was taking over the counter antacids when the GP referred for a gastroscopy who showed a gastric lymphoma as a result of a stomach ulcer and Helicobacter pylori infection that lead  into a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma stage four.

I started chemotherapy in July 2017.

The followup appointment with my haematologist cancer specialist diagnosed me with Lupus after having a rash in my chest, shoulders and back and having a biopsy.

I also have Sjogren's syndrome and mixed connective tissue disease.

That's why I started LDN. I came across it while searching in Multiple Sclerosis websites. I found Dickson Chemist because most medical practitioners haven't heard of LDN.

I clicked in the website and downloaded the referral form. About three days later, I had a telephone consultation and about a week later, the prescription turned up.

She said I was a good candidate fo rLDN with all of that going on.

I started at 1.5 milligrams every night, and increased it slowly. I think it was a fortnight before I did the first increase, and they said that I could increase it weekly after that.

So it takes a few weeks to get up to the 4.5 milligrams. But nowadays I find my sweet spot is 3.5 milligrams.

In the beginning I had pleasant dreams and a feeling of euphoria just waking up.

Between week three and week five, I noticed that my joints, all the muscle and joint pain had very much diminished and I noticed a wonderful increase in energy levels. My hand grip was stronger. I was feeling happier and more optimistic.

I chose LDN because it's supposed to optimize the immune system.

I feel like a normal person. That is very important for a cancer person when they're recovering.

Before Christmas, the pet scan showed there were no signs of cancer anywhere. I'm now recovering from chemotherapy and LDN has been by far and away from the most important item in my arsenal for recovery from chemotherapy. Definitely, I'm so grateful to all of you that have got LDN out there and made it accessible in the UK. It's just amazing!

Marie - Sweden: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Marie from Sweden shares their multiple sclerosis (MS) and low dose naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Marie was diagnosed with MS in 2005 and was 45 years old at the time. Her first sign of MS was when she began to struggle with seeing out of her left eye. Her symptoms progressed to the point where could no longer speak, only being able to mutter the words yes or no.

Within weeks of starting LDN, Marie was able to see clearly again and communicate freely. She thoroughly recommends LDN, saying that it “LDN is the best thing I have ever done”.

Maria - Canada: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Maria from Canada was diagnosed with idiopathic uveitis in 2006, and the following year suffered a vertigo attack. She had many falls due to dizziness, sometimes hitting her head and also experienced extreme fatigue, headaches, piercing ear ache, hand numbness and insomnia. 

In 2008, Marias GP told her she had multiple sclerosis (MS). The following year she was prescribed Copaxone as a daily injection, however after two and a half years of using the injections, she ran out of places to inject due to hard lumps all over. After returning back to the GP, she was given Avonex, which resulted in flu-like symptoms for six months.

After asking about low dose naltrexone (LDN), she was told there was not enough research behind it so she was not given a prescription. 

Maria sourced a GP in Canada  who was open to LDN, and has been taking it for almost a year. She started to feel a new burning sensation down the middle of her left leg, however this went away after a few months. Maria was able to sleep without pills, and cut out all other medication besides LDN and one other. She is able to walk straight without the use of her cane and experiences fewer leg spasms. Her quality of life has drastically improved and she “would like a lot of people to know about  Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)”

Margaret - Spain: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Margaret, previously  from England but now from Spain, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2008. She has had MS ever since she was near 20 years old, and is now 60. 

Margaret broke her back in a horse riding accident when problems started happening. When she was about 40 her leg started going numb, and once investigated, they found a crushed fracture in her back.

At this time, after countless operations on her back, Margaret started using a walking stick as she kept losing her balance. Her neurologist then diagnosed her with MS. 

Her MS symptoms included eyesight problems, she could no longer play sport, as well as being constantly tired. Then she started having swallowing difficulty. This is when she started noticing numbness in her legs.

Margaret could not manage to get a prescription for LDN in Spain, it was not an accepted protocol. So therefore she had to find her own chemist to prescribe it to her.

After the first week, she noticed she could taste and smell better, her urge to go to the toilet was slowing down, and even though she was still sleeping during the day, this was no longer as much, and she would feel fantastic after. Now Margaret has been on LDN for ten months, and recommends people to try it.

Malcolm from the United States, takes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for multiple sclerosis (MS). He was diagnosed around 1991, in his early thirties. Now 53. 

Before his diagnosis, Malcolm was involved in sports. He worked for a large corporation in sales and marketing, as well as having a child.  

At first his optic neuritis, which was treated with steroids, did not affect his life too much but stopped him with the sports. Malcolm did not know about LDN until around 2003, 2004,where he learnt about it over the internet. 

His doctor recommended Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) to Malcolm, after finding out that his old medication - Tysabri - was extremely dangerous, causing sometimes death and brain diseases. 

Malcolm has been taking LDN for nearly three years now, he has noticed that his MS is not progressing, where he seems not to have gotten any worse. Now, Malcolm no longer naps like he used to, when he used to be exhausted all the time. He has no more fatigue and his balance is much better. He even quotes that he ‘will continue taking LDN for as long as he lives.’ So he values it greatly, and recommends to all who are struggling with symptoms such as Multiple Sclerosis.

Larry - US: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Larry from the United States shares his Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Larry had his first attack in early 1991 and found that it was chocolate which caused the attack, yet this was not the root of the problem. Years later in 2002, Larry had 4 serious attacks which led to his admission to hospital and diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Following his diagnosis his eyesight began to deteriorate and energy levels dipped. This damage to his health further motivated Larry to research an alternative treatment, which is how he came across Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

Following his success on LDN and regain of bladder control, Larry has convinced his father to also go onto LDN, who has had equal success.
