Is there a Specific Way to Use LDN with Cannabis or CBD Oil?

We received this question:  I am taking 4.5 milligrams of LDN capsules every evening with ALA and selenium supplements.  I have ME, fibromyalgia and cancer.  I am currently not in treatment.  What do you recommend is the best dosing frequency and would I get any additional benefits from adding CBD oil or another cannabis product to my regimen?  I would say we see a lot of CBD combinations.  There's different regimens where you cycle LDN and CBD.  It depends on the patient.   Some have success when they take four days of LDN and then two days of CBD or sometimes it's three days of CBD.  I would say yes it definitely could be an option for you.  One of the providers at the recent conference says to make sure to start with LDN.  Make sure you're on LDN and then add the CBD. It has to do with how it will then modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation so that it works synergistically so you're going to see better benefit.  

There's very good success in combinations of LDN and CBD specifically in cancer.
