LDN

[chuckles333]

Is anyone familiar with treatment using LDN? Is this stuff for real?

If I have extreme ensaumnia and can not sleep at night will LDN still work even though I stay awake at night or does it work only when I am sleeping?

I don't have any documentation but someone I know from a support group who did tx which did not work and she suffers from many problems from the tx itself and the hcv went in for her routine tests and also had a biopsy due to being severely tired, in pain and in general not well.
To see if liver histology has worsened, a biopsy was done and the one and only sample came back as having reversed by 2 stages.
The sample was taken from the same area that was done last biopsy.
She is not doing anything special except taking meds for the spinal degenaration and pain. Her diet is not all that health oriented..more convenience style.
in reality, there still isn't enough known and as it is being spoken and written about more...that each person is different and that therapies and treatments done individually based is the route to take.
Just as allopathic medicines do not always work for all, the same for 'alternatives'.
Just as some can be life threatening for some, some can be life savers.
It's choice and needs. So very individual.

And the algae spoken of is part of my diet. Good stuff and can tell the difference when I do not take it. Spirulina, blue green algae, barley, wheat grass juices  and broken cell wall chlorella also go into my health drinks/smoothies or taken in veg gel caps.
It's not a cure but excellant foods for ME that help to be nourished and so feel better.
These are farmed in clean waters and certified usda organic cultivated with strict standards.
They are not only nutritious but good for detoxing the body.
And as far as the PC supplement...it reads
''This category of liver damage is char-
acterized by extensive fibrosis, which effec-
tively stifles whole zones of the liver.  Some-
times aggressive inflammatory changes are
also present.  This stage can be reached as a
consequence of persistent alcohol intake, per-
sistent viral infection, or the unchecked toxic
effects of any of the many other agents that
can damage the liver.  Given the severity of
the structural and functional damage to the
liver at this stage, lesser benefits are to be ex-
pected from PC supplementation than at ear-
lier stages.''
So, it helped with viral infections too..what types?
Like Milk Thistle, medicinal mushrooms and other helpful agents well known today..it's not a cure...but numbers of docs suggest taking milk thistle while on tx...and it is standard with many with hcv.
If some things that are helpful for those of us who cannot do the 'soc', can't do it again or those who choose not too, why get defensive and out of kilter about 'alternatives' that are found to be helping?
No one on this thread is selling anything nor saying to others to not or to do anything.
It's individual..and an individual choice.

I couldn't have paid good money and gotten the education I just did in 30min. Thank you all! And its in writting!
I have brain fog and can't remember x@! (anything). The tx did a job on that but it was bad anyway.
Thank you all for ana-lillies! My own words.

I didn't see Hepatitis C mentioned - did I miss it?
I won't comment on the methodology except to say that I am accustomed to seeing a significantly greater degree of specificity when assessing liver architecture.
I am not the least bit impressed or persuaded but you probably knew that anyway.
I am finished with this "discussion".

You're entitled to equal amounts of air time too.  

No comment on the pond scum.
