What is the best way to use LDN intermittently?

I have been using LDN since 2015 for hashimoto's, but developed invasive breast cancer and am post cystectomy. I would like to try to use intermittent use of LDN for cancer. What is the best way to use LDN intermittently?

This was a topic that was discussed at the last conference in quite extensive depth. We came to the conclusion that taking LDN every day is still intermittent. There's a washout period when there's not enough of it in your body to have an effect. There was some discussion a number of years ago, and you'll see this on the Internet, if you search for it, that maybe taking LDN five days on two days off or three days on three days off in combination with cannabinoids might be beneficial. But it would appear, having talked to some of the original researchers who published that paper, that taking LDN every day, but taking the CBD or the cannabidiols or the Nabiximols intermittently is the way to go.
Normally, the dosage that we see when using intermittent CBD with LDN is taking LDN every day and approximately 50 milligrams of CBD twice a day for two or three days of the week in sequence. That's a little bit dependent on body weight. You'd have to check with the prescriber first before going ahead and starting that yourself.
