LDN Radio Show

Dr. Corey Rice, a former forensic scientist turned functional medicine physician, discussed his journey from solving crimes to treating patients by addressing root causes of illness. He sees adults of all ages, focusing on prevention and early detection through advanced blood work, gut microbiome analysis, autoimmune screening, and cancer liquid biopsies. His treatments begin with gut repair, nutrient repletion, and hormone balancing, sometimes using low-dose naltrexone (LDN) or peptides for immune modulation, regeneration, and anti-aging. He stresses personalized, proactive care and urges both doctors and patients to stay open-minded.

Jannie, a 74-year-old from Canada, developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in 2016 after a severe foot injury and surgery. She began using Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) after researching its benefits and, with her doctor’s support, became one of the first in her area to try it. LDN significantly reduced her nerve pain and allowed her to live an active life. After needing recent surgery to remove old hardware from her foot, her CRPS briefly returned when she had to stop LDN—but quickly improved once she restarted it. Janie encourages others with chronic pain to research, stay hopeful, and actively participate in their recovery.

Pamela from the United States shares her journey with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), detailing how Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) transformed her quality of life.

She recalls being frequently ill as a child with chronic sore throats, fevers, and unexplained rashes, treated repeatedly with antibiotics, which left her with long-term side effects. In adulthood, she experienced worsening joint pain, migraines, back and neck problems, and multiple orthopedic challenges, especially after childbirth and through menopause.

After learning about LDN from Ehlers-Danlos support groups and a physiatrist, Pamela started treatment at 0.5 mg, later increasing to 3 mg. Initial side effects (constipation and nausea) subsided after two weeks, followed by significant improvements in pain levels, energy, and immune function—she hasn’t caught illnesses that previously plagued her.

She describes a clear decline when she was off LDN for 11 days, reinforcing its benefits. Pamela now enjoys more stability, less pain, better post-menopause symptoms, and greater day-to-day functionality.

Her advice: LDN is worth trying for chronic pain and autoimmune-related conditions, as it may improve both symptoms and general health with minimal side effects for most people.
