Sorry to write here everyone, but Paula has written to me 2x and I have
tried to get back to her several times with different email accounts I have
and none can get through to her. Perhaps she will get these. Her emails to
me were in response to emails I sent to TMIC list.

Hi Paula,
LDN stands for Low Dose Naltrexone. Naltrexone is a medicine used to treat
alcohol addiction. It is now being used in low doses to treat other
diseases. There is a website for LDN, http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/.
This explains its uses, research being done on it, etc.
A lot of people have been having good results with it. However, sometimes
there is a period of mild side efffects, but nothing most people cannot wait
out. I have been on it about 2wks and see a lot of improvement. I have had a
few side effects and have had to change the time or dose of the LDN. But, I
think it is well worth the trouble of trying to find a good dose for myself.
If you need any other information let me know. I can send you some links.
Hope you are doing a bit better each day.
Best Wishes,
Natalie Boyles

Hi Paula,
Neither of the two, Revia or Nodict, are low dose. Both are Naltrexone,
which comes in 50mg tabs. To get the LDN, usually a pharmacist will compound
the 50mg Naltrexone tab or get pure Naltrexone powder and make capsules in
doses of 1.5 or 3.0 or 4.5mg. The compounded Naltrexone is the low dose
naltrexone or LDN. Some people, myself included, take the 50mg tab and
dissolve it in 50ml of distilled water. THen we take 1.5 or 3.0 or 4.5ml of
that. 1ml = 1mg
The Nodict and Revia are other companies names for Naltrexone.
