Praise for The LDN Book

As a practicing physician who has used LDN as a cornerstone therapy for over fifteen years, I can say without equivocation that LDN is the most important and successful medicine I have ever used. I often joke that if not for LDN I couldnt pay my mortgage; Ive had so many new patients referred to me by someone whose life has improved dramatically through the use of LDN. And despite my knowledge and experience with LDN, Ive learned a great deal from The LDN Book aspects of its basic science I hadnt known, new uses, and how its uses can inform us about the causes of various diseases. This is a wonderful book for any patient with an autoimmune disease, cancer, depression, or a host of other conditions and is a must -read for any physician whose goal is to help their patients.

Dr. Thomas Cowan , author of The Fourfold Path to Healing ; coauthor of The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care

I first came across LDN several years ago when a medical colleague said I should look into its positive effects in patients with MS, Crohns disease, and other autoimmune disorders. I was so impressed with what I read that I helped submit a petition to the UK government to ask for funding for further research into this inexpensive drug. But, as with so many petitions, no progress was made. I hope The LDN Book which presents up-to-date findings that again confirm the efficacy of this safe, cheap, generic drug in helping to control many chronic, disabling conditionsis read by those in the Department of Health and by all doctors caring for patients with autoimmune disease. In the UK, LDN has been stranded in limbo; maybe now the time has come for it to be accepted as a recognized therapy that could, at least, be tried on those suffering such long-term diseases of the immune system.

Dr. Chris Steele , MBE, general practitioner; medical presenter on ITVs This Morning

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) was discovered by my husband and partner, Dr. Bernard Bihari. Incredibly informative and superbly written by various members of the medical profession sharing their experiences using this extraordinary drug, The LDN Book honors his legacy in helping patients suffering from autoimmune and other diseases to regain their health and their lives.

Preface

As the founder of the LDN Research Trust, I have been in contact with thousands of people from around the world suffering from a multitude of diseases and afflictions. Ive also witnessed, through their testimonies, how low dose naltrexone (LDN) has helped ease their symptoms and enabled them to live more enjoyable lives.

My own LDN story began in 1969, when at the age of thirteen I contracted glandular fever, also known as mono. I was seriously ill and away from school for six months. After that, strange things started to happen: trapped nerves here and there, slipped discs; my life seemed to become a never-ending series of health travails.

But things really took a turn for the worse when, in December of 1999, my mother suffered a serious heart attack, the trauma of which affected me badly. I was working full time, commuting two and a half hours to work every day, visiting and caring for my mother and father and, on top of it all, running the family home. I was constantly fatigued.

The following January I came down with a bad flu that kept me home from work for two weeks, and it was followed by a case of gastroenteritis. My immune system was compromised, so it took me at least three additional weeks to recover. This bout of ill health continued when I apparently slipped a disc, causing pins and needles sensations in my right leg. My energy levels were continuing to fall rapidly, I was finding it difficult to cope, and I had to sleep constantly.

At around Easter of that year I decided I had to break this cycle. I took a week off from work and, with my younger daughter, Laura, went to Portugal with the hope that I would start feeling better. Ominously, the day before we left, the left side of my tongue felt burned, as if Id eaten hot melted cheese, even though I could not remember eating anything like that. Sadly, our vacation sun was nowhere to be seen. Portugal was unbelievably wet, cold, and windy, wind that made the left side of my face numb and tingly.

Back home, I went to see my general practitioner, who thought I had a trapped nerve in my neck. He said I should see a neurologist. However, the earliest available appointment was not for another four months. When the appointment came, my neurologist debated whether I had either had a mild stroke, contracted a foreign disease, developed a brain tumor, or developed multiple sclerosis. Which diagnosis was I meant to hope for? I just wanted him to give me a pill and send me on my way.
