Free of symptoms on LDN

Update!
I was diagnosed with severe pan colitis 4 years ago. (aged 44) My disease took a while to control, but eventually Azathioprine seemed to work. Most symptoms were gone or were very mild. Unfortunately my hair began to fall out and I was getting infections easily. I feared the cure may be worse in the long term than UC itself, eg increased cancer risk.

In June 2008 I started on 4.5mg LDN. Within 2 weeks I was symptom free! Even my aching joints had gone.

I am pleased to report that I remain free of ulcerative colitis and my asthma is barely noticeable even when I go on a 5 mile run. This is despite intense stress and pressure at work.

I did have a minor flair around Easter 2011 triggered by antibiotics again! I just needed to know where the nearest toilet was for a few days. ;) It is also likely that I had gotten complacent about dietary supplements, so since then I have stuck to them religiously.

I am so pleased that I started taking LDN so early in my disease. I wonder if I had intervened later, would LDN have been so successful?

Just recently a neighbour of ours intimated that he had had UC for 12 years and was still visiting the toilet >10 times a day. We put him in contact with Bob Lawrence who has started him on LDN transdermal cream, to rub into his abdomen. He has 3 months supply of this, before he starts on oral LDN. My neighbour has been warned that his symptoms will get worse for a while. At the moment he has become constipated, relief of a kind but painful.

What is upsetting is that we have known our neighbour since 2000. He was too embarrassed to share his indignity with others. Oh how we wish he had spoken to us sooner.

I shall let him have a link to this forum, so he can tell his own story.

hardkaur,

Great news! Another success story on LDN.

Christine! I am so sorry to hear of your experience. I came so close to surgery myself, until my husband discovered LDN on the internet. It is tantamount to criminal negligence that LDN is being passed by so often. The NHS have not approved LDN for treatment for anything and pleas to the current government to fund research and trials have fallen on deaf ears.

I am not your typical conspiracy theorist but I do believe that the drug companies do not want LDN to become accepted because it is a potential therapy for so many diseases and conditions where the immune system requires boosting or rebalancing. LDN costs very little and could potentially displace some of the great profit generating medications now used. I also believe that the UK government is in the pocket of the drugs industry and that many of its MPs and ministers have interests in it. (Rant over! )

I have made it my mission, here in the UK at least, to spread the word so that we can stop too many more folk like you ending up suffering unnecessarily.

InsoFla. I have done as you asked. BINGO indeed!
