mhudnall and Dr Berkson

[Upbeat]

I have waiting to see furter posts on your treatment with Dr Berkson.  How has it been going?  His work with Alpha Lipoic Acid and I believe LDN peeked my interest.   You were giving updated reports on your viral load and alt ast numbers.  Its been awhile and just curious as to where you stand now.

I mentioned the LDN to my healthfood store lady and she knows quite a bit about nutrution and foods ,herbs,shes the one who turned me on to the blue green algae  extract,actually ,its freezed dried...she never even heard of the LDN but shes very interested.The biggest problem is most people think your va wako if you tell some" hidden" cures

opps,  well obviously if endorphins are somehow responsible for the reduction in viral load then an in vitro test involving hepatocytes would not show much in the absence of the necessary neurotransmitters.   anyway keep on the good work guinea pigs and please report your findings. inquiring minds want to know!

Yes, some patients experience sleep insomnia, but more often patients experience vivid dreams. In most cases this goes away after the first week.

I never experienced that. In fact, I eventually began to sleep much better than I have in decades. Now I generally sleep seven hours straight without waking, very rarely do I have to get up to urinate, and that is one of the real positive effects I feel from LDN.

But everyone is different.

By the way, there are more studies on LDN and liver health, but they are in word doc form. I could send them to anyone interested.

Best regards,

one of the things that concerns me are the reports of insomnia with the ldn.  the lack of deep sleep would likely reduce the secretion of human growth hormone and thus reduce liver regeneration.  do you experience insomnia on the ldn?

it sure would be interesting to do an in vitro experiment with one of the hepatitis c models like was done with alinia to test the antiviral effects of ldn.
