LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

Dr Bob Lawrence, LDN Radio Show (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

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

Dr Bob Lawrence from Wales was shocked when he first came across Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), puzzled as to why such a simple treatment could be so effective at treating such devastating diseases.

He has found LDN to be very successful in his patients, some of whom have noticed improvements in their health within a matter of days.

He first prescribed LDN in 2000 and within weeks he had many of his patients on the drug. In this interview he explains LDN’s benefits and his shock as to why mainstream medicine is yet to adopt LDN as an integral component of treatment programs.

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.

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

Kristin was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2006 but had been searching for a diagnosis for over 12 years beforehand, meaning she was 36 when she finally got her diagnosis.

Kristin mainly suffered from muscle pain all over her body and muscle spasms, the former of which had been a constant issue for a long time. Fortunately, she came across Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) on Facebook and recognised the many benefits this drug has to offer.

“Why not try LDN? It’s cheap. It’s effective. It’s available. Why spend $30,000 a year on medical insurance to get a treatment that has a 30% chance of working when you can pay $30 a month for a treatment that can only do wonders.”

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

I'd like to introduce Kevin from England, and Kevin has multiple sclerosis. Welcome

Kevin: Kevin. Hello, Linda,

Linda Elsegood: could you tell us, when were you diagnosed with MS.

Kevin: Diagnosed in 1997,

Linda Elsegood: right? Yeah. And how old were you at the time?

Kevin: I would have been 37 coming up to 37. Anyway.

Linda Elsegood: So, what led to your diagnosis? What was your life like before then?

And what kind of symptoms did you have?

Kevin: Um, well, I was at a Bible college. So some do a little bit of stress, I suppose. And I just started with pain in my elbow, which I went to the doctors and they said it was tennis elbow combat next week. And I'll give you an injection. I went back the next week, but by that time, my hand was just doing whatever he wanted to do.

So he said, I don't think it plans yourself and send me to the hospital where they did all sorts of tests that

Linda Elsegood: trauma you had in your hand. Um,

Kevin: I'm not sure what you call it. My fingers were just one shape. They were twitching and moving. I just had no control over them. Um, really the lower parts of my arm. I had very little control over.

Uh, he sent me into a hospital where they did all sorts of tests and finally came up with the position straight away. 

Linda Elsegood: That's unusual because most people tend to have to wait quite a while.

Kevin: I feel so sorry for people, but that must be horrible.

Yeah. I mean, if, if fall back, I did have problems with my eye. They just said that was probably an infection and Tom had to go away.

Linda Elsegood: So how long did you have MS before you learned of LDN?

Kevin: Um, well, I was diagnosed 97 lent about probably 2005, 2006 and spent the next two or three years trying to convince the doctor to prescribe it.

Linda Elsegood: Did your own GP prescribed it for you?

Kevin: I did eventually. Yeah.

Linda Elsegood: Very lucky.

Kevin: It was, it was, it was a lovely man had,

Linda Elsegood: sorry, are you still getting it

Kevin: on the NHS?

, I'm at the moment, but I did send you an email today because we've just moved. I had to give up work because of my MS. And we've moved out and changed doctor, and my doctor holds those. The one I spoke to was very sympathetic. Just tells me a lot to try and get me to a neurologist and questioning whether they can continue with my LDN.

Hopefully, I'll continue, but I don't know. I've got to try and take lots of information to it to convince her.

Linda Elsegood: Yeah. How has that LDN helped? What symptoms is it helped with?

Kevin: I was. Very, very urgent and going to the toilet and it's come knocked down a lot. I was getting, you know, five, six times during the night. Now I, if I get to one-story night, I'm not the most. Sometimes it doesn't get too possibly.

Linda Elsegood: Yes. Well, I used to get up six times a night, and I guess at once, and I still feel hard by, I like my sleep that I really shouldn't complain once it's not handled there is that my mother always, always gets it twice anyway, so she's worse than me.

Kevin: Yeah. It's an that's affected my leaving away. Well, now something that will be enough. I'll go to bed. A good night's sleep. You can wake up feeling just as tired about something could happen.

Linda Elsegood: do you feel that the Fatigue you use to?

Kevin, I'm not sure how. I think I probably come back to feeling as fatigued as they used to. Certainly, initially, it helps a lot with fatigue. Hmm.

Just cause I've got work or not. I want,

Linda Elsegood: did you have any initial side effects when you started LDN?

Kevin: I did no, no dreams or anything. I was looking forward to my dreams, but I never got it. Well, I don't want to dislike it. Would it be nice? Not

Linda Elsegood: so what's your level of fitness now?

Kevin: Um, I can still walk in the house.

And I can get the time side, but if I go sort of reality beyond the gate, I can get to my car, or I need my wheelchair.

Linda Elsegood: Did you ever have any cognitive problems?

Kevin: No, I don't think so. No. No.

Linda Elsegood: What would you say to other people with MS. Who to thinking of trying LDN? 

Kevin: Tell them it's really worth trying.

And I say, even if it's just for my sleep, I'm certain if I think deeply other, even if it's just with my toilets in there, nothing is worth me taking it. And there are so many things that come out that I advise anybody I speak to try and get the,

Linda Elsegood: what about your eyesight? 

Kevin:  is back to normal.

Linda Elsegood: Yeah. What about your hand? 

Kevin:  that went back to normal. Thirdly, quickly, I had a course of steroids and went back, although I've still got numbness in my hands and my feet, it came off at the same time.

Linda Elsegood: So will you be continuing to take LDN?

Kevin: I will definitely. Yeah. I don't want to stop taking it. Yeah. If I'm open, I'll convince the dumpster to apply by October looking at all the options tonight, because I, I do also feel that eight days old dating back, even though my wife would dying, I know I'm feeling a little bit worse and I lost two or three years ago.

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

Linda Elsegood: Today. We have Kathy joining us. Kathy has multiple sclerosis. She's originally from England and now lives in France. Thank you for joining me, Cathy.

Could you tell us how old you were when you first started to experience your MS symptoms? And what did you notice at that time?

Kathy: Well something, I just have a strange sensation down my right-hand side. I'm not completely numb, but just strange, um, tingling almost. And my local doctor, his thought that I had possibly had a mild stroke. So that's why I was taking the hospital immediately. And when they found out it wasn't a stroke, they, um, then went ahead and tested for MS and said that I seemed to have a mild form of MS.

Linda Elsegood: What would you say? Your condition was like before you found LDN.

Kathy: Uh, well, all I had up to that point, as I say, was this, this numbness down the right-hand side, which came and went a little bit, was always there in the extremities, not debilitating, purely sensory didn't really cause me any problems as they only, because I thought it was a stroke that it became a bit of a medical emergency. Um, The doctors here were keen that I started, uh, sorry. My MRI scan did show that I had, uh, one active lesion and the doctors who were keen that I started the DMDs, which I was very keen not to start. Um, and basically stayed off of that. We didn't even entertain the idea until a year later or last March. I had optic neuritis in my left eye, um, which didn't. Totally take away my vision, but a sort of less it blockchain. And then, of course, the doctors started again with, uh, the DMDs, which I'm afraid I have no faith in whatsoever. Um, and I've been reading already about LDN. I'd explored it. Very very, very thoroughly kind of seemed a bit too good to be true.

But I spoke to my local GP here who said his advice was, do not pay the DMDs, but if I wanted to try this, it certainly wouldn't do me any harm. And he was all for it. Although he hadn't heard of it in France for MS at all. There's no information here. It's all. Unfortunately, what was your, your, your, um, Uh, an information sheet is the only information I can get in French.

There's nothing else. It's all. So, um, he was very out for it  and that was that.

Linda Elsegood: And how have you, how long have you been taking LDN?

Kathy: I started last June. Um, I am denied for a while, and it spoke to my family about it because obviously it was a big decision as to did that go down the, um, advisory roots at the property or did I try something? Off-label and all my family were very supportive.

Bearing in mind. I did have mild MS. And apart from the optic neuritis, it hasn't caused me any problems. So I started last year and which is actually only a month after my mother died. It was a very stressful time. And I have been absolutely fine ever since. In fact, I felt better than myself from something years.

Linda Elsegood: Wow. And when you say you felt better than you have for years, could you explain what you mean by that? How you felt. 

Kathy: I started to get, I suppose, fatigue which I put down to being probably premenopausal. Um, but just fatigue. don't know, just not feeling a hundred per cent. 

Um, but I just have energy. I'm enthusiastic. I can take on tasks and finish them without, you know, feeling exhausted halfway through or mentally feeling like I can't do it. I just, I feel good. Basically. I feel 100% almost all of the time, which is probably better than I felt before I was diagnosed.,

Linda Elsegood: you've probably had MS longer than when you were diagnosed,  you know,  that's amazing. Isn't it? How fantastic is that? Oh,

Kathy: absolutely. And I have total faith in the job, and I mean, as far as the neurologists are concerned, that could be the thing. And I said I don't care. To be honest, I don't care what it is. That's making me feel okay. Is if it stops the relapses. Brilliant, um, or, you know, keeps them at Bay for as long as possible. If it makes me feel better or even improves the symptoms where they're all a bonus. Um, really, I'm just trying to do something positive to stop the disease from progressing. But so far, I've been a year without any relapses.

And as I say, feeling great and loving life and living life, not being dragged down by drugs that make me feel horrible.

Linda Elsegood: Wonderful. Well, thank you very much for sharing your inspirational story with us, and we will see what we can do with LDN in France. 

Kathy: Oh, is there anything I can help with? I have, I am rapidly translating bits as badly as I can with range, but I do have a friend who has translated quite a lot from my local neurologist, and I'll be happy to send that information over.

And she, she translated some comprehensive stuff from one of the earlier books. Um, but anything I can do to help, I'm certainly educating the doctors here as best I can.

Linda Elsegood: thank you very much.
