Ldn for Parkinson's Disease: Low Dose Naltrexone

Description

LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) is a proven-safe (by the FDA in 50mg doses!) off-label prescription drug which has gained a great deal of attention over the past few months due to its remarkable disease modifying effects of controlling and reversing symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. Lexie is one person who has experienced a reversal of most of her Parkinsons Disease symptoms over the past 5 years. She was officially diagnosed with Parkinsons disease in 2008 (although her non-motor symptoms began 20 years earlier). In this question and answer format with Robert Rodgers, PhD, from Parkinsons Recovery, Lexie offers detailed information about her experience with taking LDN. She has been able to titrate off her daily use of traditional PD medications, while controlling and reversing most of her own PD symptoms, thanks to LDN. Many doctors are not familiar with LDN as a treatment for Parkinson's symptoms. It is a prescription medication, so a prescription from a doctor is necessary. Lexie offers suggestions about how to discuss a request for a LDN prescription from your doctor and offers specific suggestions about where to get LDN once a prescription is in hand. This interview was originally published in Pioneers of Recovery, a series of stories by people who succeeded in reversing their Parkinson's symptoms using one treatment modality or another. Lexie's story of recovery centers on the use of LDN which has been so beneficial to her own recovery from Parkinson's Disease. Review: Five Stars - It gives hope to all PD sufferers. Review: Rushed to press! - This effort at extolling the benefits of LDN (low dose Naltrexone) was obviously a half assed effort to get the information out there. Robert Rogers, who is an accomplished man and well thought of in the Parkinson's circles for his work in promoting a positive attitude towards the concept of recovery should be embarrassed at this 28 page meander through the life and times of "Lexy". I purchased two copies: one for myself and one for my doctor. But was too embarrassed to pass such an unprofessional piece of writing on to a medical professional. The writing is full of generalities and casual usage of language which is not helpful in presenting the case for LDN to be taken seriously by professional caregivers. One example of this type of babble is where Lexy wanders through speculation of why she would shop at a goodwill store rather than Nordstrom's, which has nothing to do with anything of relevance with regard to LDN I guess I was looking for information about what specifically we should be looking for in terms of compounding, and possibly a chapter written by Skip on the importance of correct compounding. A little Hand book on the ins and outs of Naltrexone. A one spot stop to get all the relevant information anyone would need to have a successful experience with LDN. So if your looking for a piece of writing to take up and defend your right to try lLDN, or to justify it as a second witness for your doctor, look elsewhere. This is not the booklet you want. As a matter of fact, the only reason you would want this booklet is because you are deaf and could not listen to Robert Rogers on his internet radio show. Even the cover of this booklet screams AMATEUR WORK! This "book" is badly in need of a good editing , or maybe just throw it out and start again.
