Elizabeth - US: CFS/ME, Lyme (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Elizabeth uses low dose naltrexone (LDN) for chronic Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), food sensitivities, and poisoning by Cipro.

When Elizabeth was very young she had anxiety and nausea, feeling on the verge of vomiting, and doctors found no diagnosis. At 12 she was taking Accutane, which interfered with her immune system and her symptoms increased through her teen years. 

She carried diagnoses of chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroidism, insomnia, food sensitivities, depression, anxiety, OCD, gastroparesis – all kinds of autoimmune disorders and symptoms - and was disabled. She got some improvement with a holistic treatment called NAET, but in her late 20s took ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and became bed-bound for over ten years. Unfortunately, later she took Cipro again and all her symptoms got exponentially worse.

She was diagnosed with POTS, or dysautonomia, and could not tolerate medications to heal.  She couldn’t tolerate food, heat, the sun, and couldn’t sleep. When she started LDN it made her feel like she had a bad flu, migraines, and a racing heart. Her doctor adjusted her thyroid medication to help with her heart rate and insomnia, but later was able to increase it back up. She learned that taking LDN in the morning, and a lowered dose, reduced those symptoms. Now her symptoms are 85% improved.

In addition, after 10 months, LDN has improved her endometriosis pain and cognitive functioning. She has been able to come off multiple other pharmaceutical medications, including those for her high blood pressure, antidepressants, and medication for CFS. By her research, she hopes to continue improving for up to 2 years.

Dr Paul Anderson shares his Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) experience on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Dr Paul Anderson started 40 years ago working in medical labs and eventually started up his own lab. Bored with this, he sold the business to go back to school and become an MD. 

He observed that most family practitioners don't have time to delve deeply into the more complicated and difficult illnesses like Cancer and autoimmune diseases. Thus he studied further to become a Naturopathic Doctor and started up his clinic. 

He learned about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) approximately 15 years ago and treats his patients with a synergetic approach. He finds that LDN is his first line of treatment, but it is accompanied by diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Vitamins, supplements and herbs are utilized as an important part of treatment.
