LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

Rose's Daughter, Layla - US: Crohn’s Disease (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Rose from the United States is speaking on behalf of her daughter Layla, who has Crohn's disease.

Rose first started noticing symptoms in Layla in May 2012. The first thing Rose was concerned about was the fact Layla started her menstrual cycle at the age of 10. She also had started to lose weight; enough weight to notice her rib cage when looking at her back. In May Layla weighed 82lbs, whereas the normal weight for someone of her age was 125lbs.

After a colonoscopy and endoscopy in June of 2012, Layla was declared as having Crohn’s Disease.

In August 2015, Layla started on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), after trying out different medication for the year prior to this. Since starting, Layla’s body weight has increased to a much more healthy range and her test results have come back more normalized. Layla also partakes in therapy to assist in aiding the pains.

They are grateful for LDN, and wish they'd heard of it sooner “instead of her going through the suffering she went through.” Rose has already referred people to the GP she used because of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

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

Linda Elsegood: I'd like to introduce Ronnie from the United States who has multiple sclerosis. Welcome Ronnie.

Ronnie: Thank you.

Linda Elsegood: Could you tell me when you were diagnosed with that?

Ronnie: Um, 1989.

Linda Elsegood: And how old were you?

Ronnie: I was 32 years old. I was 35 years old.

Linda Elsegood: And what symptoms were you experiencing that led to the diagnosis?

Ronnie: Well, I was losing my balance when I was dancing, which was very unusual for me.

And. I was wearing three-inch heels and dancing and twirling around. And then I would feel dizzy. And all of my friends said that's ridiculous. All of us get dizzy, you know? And then I started wearing lower heels, and something was definitely wrong. So I went to the doctor, he said to a neurologist who asked me to walk a straight line and touch my nose and sat me down and told me I had them up.

Linda Elsegood: What impact that you have on your life and your family?

Ronnie: It was devastating. I had started a small business when I was 32 years old, and it was in its fledgling stages. Then I was very much responsible for everything. And all of a sudden this like started to change everything in my life.

Linda Elsegood: What did the neurologist offer you when you were diagnosed? Say that again? What medication were you offered?

Ronnie: Nothing at that time, 1989, there was absolutely nothing. So they basically told you a story and sent you home to be miserable for the rest of your life.

Linda Elsegood: Does it sound too good to say? How did you hear about LDN?

Ronnie: Well, I, I heard about it about five or six years ago in an article in a health newsletter. And I contacted, um, dr. Myra Jerone, who was doing research on LDN and MS. In Milan, Italy. And, uh, luckily she was coming through New York City. To get to a conference. And I met with her, and I brought her copies of all my information, my medical history, a recent, um, MRI, things like that.

And she made a recommendation for me. And I was very lucky that my neurologist was willing to allow that and actually wrote the prescription for me.

Linda Elsegood: Well, sorry. Good. And did your own doctor mind?

Ronnie: No, my, my neurologist is wonderful. And while she does not recommend LDN to anyone, if she respects the fact that I did a lot of research and that I really wanted to take it.

And so she wrote the prescription for me, she will not. I suggested to anyone else under any circumstances. Right, but she will monitor me. Hold up. Very good.

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

Ronnie: actually decided that's where the wonderful part, the reason I'm taking it is, um, for the hope that it will stop the progression of my illness.

Um, I would say it has slowed the progression not stopped it, but the side effects from day one were no more physical fatigue and much more mental clarity,

Linda Elsegood: Does makes a big impact on your life. Doesn't it? It definitely does. And I say it's side effects because that was not the reason I'm taking it. But it turns out to be the most amazing benefit of tape.

Linda Elsegood: Well, so what symptoms do you have now Ronnie?

Ronnie: Well, I live in a wheelchair. , there's been a lot of damage to my body. I have no ability to stand or walk anymore. Um, My hands have been affected the strength of my hands, my agility, but my clarity is fine. Now it wasn't before I started taking LDN, but it is now, and I do not suffer from physical fatigue anymore.

Linda Elsegood: What would you say to other people who are contemplating trying LVM but maybe a bit scared to take the plunge?

Ronnie Um, I would use myself as an example and highly, highly recommend it. Um, the drug in this country and the United States. Um, I cannot get any kind of insurance coverage for us, but it's very inexpensive compared to any other drugs that you take cost about a dollar a day.

I think. And it's very easy to, um, to take either in a small capsule or a transdermal cream.

And I have experienced no negative side effects. Sorry. Okay.

Linda Elsegood: Is there anything else you'd like to add? Ronnie? No, thanks. So, okay. Well, thank you very much for sharing your story with us, Ronnie. I really do appreciate it.

Any questions or comments you may have, please contact us. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for joining us today. We really appreciated your company. Until next time, stay safe and keep well.

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

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

Ronna first began to notice her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) symptoms when she was 35 years old following the birth of her third child. She began to suffer from optic neuritis in her left eye. All of a sudden other symptoms developed, such as severe fatigue and shaky hands.

MS restricted Ronna from caring for her newborn child and spending time with her other children, thus she was determined to find a solution which is when she came across Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Within a matter of months LDN was already having positive effects on Ronna’s health.

“I would say I am so lucky. I would say my quality of life is 9/10 now I’m on LDN. I think I am extraordinarily lucky to have found this drug and it worked so well for me.”

This is a summary of Ronna’s interview. Please listen to the rest of Ronna’s story by clicking on the video above.

Robin - US: Hailey-Hailey Disease (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Robin had Hailey Hailey symptoms mildly as a child but by the time she got to her thirties it had become debilitating.  She heard about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)  on social media and her own doctor prescribed it for her.  Within a few weeks Robin noticed that things weren’t getting worse, she increased her dose gradually to 4.5 mg and by that time her symptoms were gone, the pain was gone and she was so much happier.

Robert - US: Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, Major Depression (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Robert from the United States shares his Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, Major Depression and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Robert became very ill in 2015 when he started to get pins and needles all over his body, leading to him becoming very lethargic. He had muscle spasms and an overwhelming sense of fatigue. 

Robert’s doctors prescribed him multiple types of thyroid medications which had little to no impact on his health until he discovered Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) in early 2016.

“Within a week of starting LDN, I got up one morning and I was able to stand up right with no pain, which was something I hadn’t been able to do for months. I didn’t believe it was real. I had energy again.

To anyone who’s listening and is on the fence about trying LDN, then you’ve got to. Obviously do your research, but the results are worth the work.”

Robert - Northern Ireland: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Robert from Northern Ireland shares their Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) story on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Robert was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 1970, but first noticed something wrong when he lifted a box at work and managed to scrape his leg and knee and caused lots of bleeding, yet he was so numb in his leg that he didn’t notice. 

Shortly after his eyesight too began to deteriorate to the point where he could no longer see out of his left eye. He discovered Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and learned of its many benefits in MS patients and thought he’d give it a go.

“I feel 20 years younger and much more able in my body. LDN is well worth trying.”

Renee - US: Fibromyalgia, IBS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Renee from the United States suffers from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. At the age of 50, her body started giving out, resulting in her not even being able to go shopping. She could barely walk and was experiencing a lot of pain.

Renee found out about LDN last year and began researching, realizing she wanted to try it out. However, her GP prevented that from happening, so she decided to order her own online. Renee finally started taking it in April of this year. By the second day on the medication, she had already noticed she felt less fatigued. And by the fifth day, she could walk without limping. She also realized her depression had gone, leaving her with a better outlook on life. Renee had gained her appetite back as well.

Reene noticed that within the first week she had started getting diarrhoea and stomach cramps that lasted around five minutes, however this could be something to do with her IBS as well.

When asked what she would say to people thinking about taking LDN, she recommended they went for it, and also insists that they do research into it beforehand, to feel more confident with it.
