Dr Leslie DeGasparis - 15th April 2018 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Dr Leslie DeGasparis from Seattle in Washington is sharing her experience with Low dose Naltrexone.

I'm an NDA naturopathic doctor. I went to the University of Washington for my undergraduate bachelor's degree. And then from there, I attended the Bastyr university for my doctorate in naturopathic medicine. And since then I've been practising for about 15 years. The first 10 were mostly primary care.

And then the last five I've concentrated on endocrinology with thyroid disorders and hormone balance.

Mostly, I attend women and I'm pretty happy with the outcomes of the infertility cases, especially when, on their last stop using LDN. They've usually already seen fertility doctors. And what I do notice is that something like LDN and really focusing on thyroid as well are often overlooked. So when we add those components to the fertility treatment, that pregnancy can happen.

Regarding LDN dosing times, historically over all these years, I've used it at night because originally that's what was said to work and it has worked. I'm a little wary dosing in the morning, but that being said for compliance reasons, in a few cases, I find that morning needs to be the time.

I'm watching these people to see if they do, as well as the models.

I have some people on doses between two and three milligrams longterm. We can watch their antibodies and we do know they're doing well. So I was very intrigued about the lower dosing and the intermittent dosing discussion in the conference this year.

I've had some pretty phenomenal results with some of the cases I have with children.

Children with autism in the practice where they really didn't know where to turn. And we use nutrition and LDN. 

I treat mostly men with Hashimoto.

I just recently got someone with renal failure. I put them on LDN and he's actually no longer headed for dialysis. He had told him he was going to pass away in the next year or two and he's actually doing very well. And I think LDN was a big part of that.

Regarding gut issues, 'll do a breath test for SIBO and H pylori. Those are best detected by a breath test and then still test them. Or I like to look for overgrowth of fungus, parasites, inflammatory markers, food allergies, that kind of thing. There are blood tests too for food allergies.

I feel like they're a little bit less accurate than the stool test, but I'll use a combo of those things to get to the bottom of the case and get it figured out. If necessary I also put them on an anti-inflammatory, gluten, dairy, and sugar-free diet. I called them kryptonite when I talked to my patients and I feel that they are inflammatory.

Our clinic is in North gate, which is in Seattle, just north of downtown. Our phone number is (206) 925-3525. And our website is www.seattleadvancedthyroid.com.

Ellen and Chris - 18th April 2018 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Lili - Denmark: Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, 11 April 2018 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Lily from Denmark experienced the first symptoms of arthritis 20 years ago, 10 years into that she was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis as she had developed a horrible rash mainly in her scalp. She was given methotrexate by her specialist. Methotrexate helped her in the beginning but soon stopped helping and Lili was at a loss, she had a lot of pain and very poor sleep and her life was severely affected.  

Lili did her own research online and heard about Low Dose Naltrexone from a Facebook group.  Her doctor was great and prescribed it when she requested it. The first dose helped her, she slept better and had less pain and her psoriasis, on her scalp, cleared up within a fortnight. As she increased her dose her pain also disappeared and she is now able to live a normal life.  Laura walks 8 Km a day now with her dog and sleeps through the night and consequently feels so much better.

Anthony - 11th April 2018 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Anthony shares his Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Low Dose Naltrexone story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Anthony first noticed an issue with his alcohol during teenagehood, when he would continue drinking long after his friends had stopped. From the age of 13 to his early thirties, Anthony barely went a day without drinking.

During this interview Anthony discusses “Alcohol Use Disorder” (AUD) and how successful The Sinclair Method is in treating the problem. Simply explained, the patient takes a 50 mg Naltrexone tablet one hour before drinking alcohol. It negates the effects and over time, reduces the addictive aspects. She explains how this is safe and inexpensive and that the success rate is 78%.
