Joanna - England: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Joanna was 14 when she first started noticing Chronic Fatigue Syndome (ME) symptoms. At first she had acute pancreatitis which was caused by gallstones, further leading to infections. As well as this, normal symptoms included muscle pain and pains in her eyes which only got worse over time. 

Unfortunately, the NHS gave little help or understanding over Joanna’s difficulties with her disease. All that they offered was referral to a support group. Later on Joanna heard about a clinic based in Liverpool, where she told her GP that she was referring. Joanna heard about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) through a friend who was using LDN treatment himself. Which resulted in him having much success and recommended that Joanna would look into it. 

Using a private doctor, blood tests resulted in Joanna having the LDN medication, which she agreed to and was on it for 6 months with this private clinic in Liverpool. Due to circumstances, Joanna had to go back to the NHS where it took her countless attempts for the NHS to oblige for the LDN medication prescription.

As she knows of, Joanna did not have any side effects, it took two months for her to notice improvements which resulted in more energy and bad fatigue, which she then rated her quality of life a 6/10.

Summary of Joanna’s interview, please listen to the video for the full story.

After experiencing serious health challenges of her own, she now focuses her research and nutrition work on autoimmunity, gut health, SIBO, mast cell activation, gastroparesis, and specialized diets for healing.

In this interview Jill discusses what we should be doing diet wise to help Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) be more effective in our bodies. 

Topics covered answer the questions: 

“There are so many conflicting diets. What diet should people be following?”

“How would somebody who has never looked at their diet before go about looking to eliminate foods?”

“What about the blood test? Can they help show what foods you should avoid?”

“It's not easy to follow healthy eating. How does willpower come into this? What does the research show?”

“Could artificial sweeteners help get me off sugar?”

“How can I lose weight when I can't exercise?”

“Could digestive issues such as inflammation, leaky, gut, etc cause someone to have low sodium or potassium and vitamins?”

“For a patient with Mast Cell Activation and Autoimmune issues do you have any diet suggestions or inflammation information from your own experience that would help?”
