LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

Cindy Kennedy - Nurse Practitioner 10th January 2018 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Cindy Kennedy shares her Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) experience on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Cindy Kennedy is a nurse practitioner who has suffered for years with Lyme Disease, and is sharing her experiences through this interview and her website. It took a long time to find a doctor who could diagnose it correctly. Then it has taken forever to find the appropriate treatment for her version of Lyme. 

There are different infections that present differently. The weakened immune systems cannot fight off the various co-infections. Eating well, repairing the gut flora, and strengthening the immune system are a great start. 

Despite her illness, she has treated patients for 19 years in 17 different countries. Linda pointed out that, on the LDNresearchtrust.org site, there are videos and literature on treating Lyme Disease successfully with LDN.

Dr Jill Cottel shares her Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) experience on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Dr Jill Cottel is a medical advisor for the LDN Research Trust and was a presenting doctor at the LDN Conference in Portland Oregon.

Now, she has developed a tele-medicine system in her practice whereby she can do medical appointments by phone in the states of Virginia and California. This added service is invaluable for patients who cannot travel for one reason or another. 

During this interview she 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%.

Dr Jake Ames - 6th Dec 2017 from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Dr. Jake Ames from Mexico shares his experience with Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

I graduate in cell and molecular biology. I studied medicine and did my clinical clerkships in England. Later I became a pathologist. I did an anatomical pathology, residency and clinical pathology residency in New York city. That took four years. And then I did an internal medicine residency in Reno, Nevada, and I did a one year course in acupuncture at university of California, San Francisco.

I later became board certified in holistic medicine, and I've had a private practice in the United States since 1994, but I decided to move to Mexico because I'm starting a cancer clinic down here. There's more freedom to practice medicine in Mexico and treating cancer with nutritional means instead of just chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery. I'm also an allergists.

And then my own allergy technique where to use acupressure and most of the time I can cure their allergies in five minutes. I've done over 20,000 kilos patients cleaning up people's arteries and removing heavy metals. And I specialize in Lyme disease too.

And I also use LDN on most of those patients.

I've been prescribing it since the mid nineties. Almost all of my patients with Multiple Sclerosis are on it and cancer patients.

I think all patients benefit from LDN. I complement when needed vitamin D,  the right diet, fatty acids. They need to be detoxified.

I start my patients with 1.5 milligrams at bed time for one week, and then I pump it to 3 milligrams at bedtime for one week.

And when I stay at 4.5 milligrams, Rarely, some people can't tolerate the 4.5 milligrams. Low Dose Naltrexone has very few side effects, but sometimes it might cause some mild nausea and people may have some bad dreams and they just go back to 3 milligrams. Then later on, I can try open at the 4.5 milligrams.

Since 90's I saw a few thousand patients. In my state I specialized in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia and they have a messed up immune system.

I wasn't an oncologist until recently. I do think it's one of the best treatments for cancer and it doesn't harm people. That's what's so good about Low Dose Naltrexone.

Gluten plays a role in Multiple Sclerosis especially in America gluten has been genetically modified. And mercury amalgam, dental fillings play a role in autoimmune diseases.

And there's a vitamin D protocol in high doses for Multiple Sclerosis. So you need to use it all of these things in conjunction with LDN.

We use the Western blot test for Lyme disease from hygiene next I G E N E X in Palo Alto, California, because  test for the number 31 and 34 bands, which most Western blood labs don't test for.

So I've been using that lab for years and Lyme disease is in every state in America.

And I believe it's sexually transmitted because I've seen babies born with the disease, and I believe it gets into the brain within minutes. So I've done a lot of research in Lyme disease, and it's not really that easy to eradicate it.

Also everyone should be tested for the MTHFR mutation, screening test for heavy metal exposure, mineral deficiencies and hormones.

There's also an epidemic of people with low thyroid all around the world right now. We're low in iodine and we have too much fluoride.

Their temperature should be between 36.7 and 37 degrees. If it's below 36.7, they may be low in thyroid hormone. You must treat the patient. I look for signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism, and  this plays a role in the Multiple Sclerosis and many diseases, because if your body is running cold, if you're low in thyroid, you're going to feel in slow motion.

I do treat children as well. The vaccine should be spaced out, not altogether.  Children today are over vaccinated and I'll use Delta autism courses all the time.I specialize in autism, children are being over vaccinated these days.

I treat children with Autism using LDN.

We also use a C--, a compound in marijuana that doesn't make you high. I I'll try LDN only on a few autistic children, mainly older autistic children, not babies or newborns.

Amy on the LDN Radio Show - 13th December 2017 (Low dose naltrexone) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Amy from the United States shares her Sjögren's Syndrome and LDN Story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Amy first noticed an issue with her health when she began to have a constant pain in her pelvis. She initially attributed it to her running, but as other symptoms developed she went to a neurologist who was unable to diagnose her.

Determined to find the cause of her pain, she went to get blood tests at a local clinic who eventually diagnosed her Amy with Sjögren's Syndrome. Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has helped her to get over her ‘stiff person’s syndrome’ and get back to running regularly.

Debra - Lupus - 22nd Nov 2017 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Debra from the United states takes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for lupus.

I was diagnosed back in 1988. So that's almost 30 years ago. I was in my mid to late twenties and first it was the diagnosis didn't really impact my life, all that much.

I just felt more tired and had in general, a low grade feeling like I was catching some sort of virus, but I was able to continue working.

It just kind of came and went depending on how much I worked and how much stress was in my life, but I was not debilitated. And that went on for about 10 years.

And then things started to gradually degrade. I was struggling to stay working. I would catch every virus that came along and it would degrade into bronchitis pneumonia.

I got H1 N1 and unable to work any longer. And that's been about 15 years ago. Fortunately my husband could support us, but it was quite a traumatic change in my life.

I was an undiagnosed Celiacs person, and that took several years to be finally diagnosed with the help of the Mayo clinic here in Rochester, Minnesota. I was finally diagnosed with that seven years ago.

Prior to LDN, just a year ago, I had about four hours of energy a day. And that meant I had basically one thing I could do that day, whether that was going to meet somebody for lunch.

I'm an equestrian. And if I chose that day to ride my horse, that was the thing I did. So prior to LDN and a year ago that was my life one thing a day.

And I had to be very careful not to schedule too much. In one day I wasn't able to do our house cleaning. For instance, it was too physically strenuous. I wasn't able to do the shopping. My husband did that. That was too physically strenuous. I really had to be very protective of the amount of energy I could expend and save it for the things that really brought me some joy in my life.

And so that's how things progressed over 30 years.Then I was introduced to LDN by my doctor who is a medical doctor. He's an MD with a traditional degree, but he also has continued on to get a functional medicine training and certification here in the United States. And that additional training and education has made the difference for my health and a number of ways.

I tried to start at 1.5 mg of Low Dose Naltrexone and it was just way too much. I had a big lupus flare up. Felt like I got hit by a truck and we had to back it down.

I started at 0.5 and every two weeks we would increase it by 0.5 and it took me several months to let me get to the level of now. My current dose is 4.5 mg and right away I noticed a difference. I noticed an increase in energy and I didn't pay the price.

As I say for that energy, I would be able to exceed my four hours of energy and not have a Lupus flare. As a result, I could have six hours of energy and not be in bed the next day. Then I noticed, I could go all day and not pay the price and have, and be in bed with a lupus flare the next day.

And then I was able to join a fitness club. I haven't done that for 25 years and joined a yoga class. All of which I couldn't do. I had tried to do, and it would just any sort of extra exertion would send me backwards into a lupus flare.

I was now walking 30 minutes a day. I had tried to keep walking. I would get sick and then I'd be in bed for a week and I have to start all over again with the walking and build up slowly.

All those old injuries that Lupus would like to inflame. It just didn't get inflamed anymore.

I'm pretty close to being a normal person. I still have Lupus. But I think you could safely say that it's pretty much in remission. I can live a relatively normal life.

 I could work, for five or six hours out in the barn with the horses, I can help around the farm, help my husband build fence, repair fence. I'm back to cleaning my own home and doing my own shopping and making dinners again.

I'm thankful every day. I've learned to live one day at a time.

I'm very thankful that I have the doctor I have. I have organized and facilitate a auto-immune support group here in our local community. And there's a variety of people that attend, people with Ms., with Hashimoto's.

My mother is in her mid to late seventies and has Fibromyalgia in addition to a couple of other disorders, but fibromyalgia has been very debilitating for her. She started LDN. She's no longer living on a heating pad. And just got back from a two and a half week trip to Latvia and Estonia. I see her out gardening in the afternoons when normally she would have hit her limit and been inside on the heating pad.
