Is LDN a prescription only?
12:32:43 From Steve : definitely hair thinning :*(
12:33:23 From Brenda’s iPhone : Is LDN only by prescription?
12:33:56 From fr. Sauppé : I was on LDN. I developed terrible headaches. My friend said it was a “die off” or hertzheimer effect. Do you know anything about this ?
12:34:18 From iPhone : I have used Burt Berksons AIH protocol, including LDN. It never seemed to have any impact on my inflammation(I also have RA). I have tried 4mg, 1.5mg various times, couldn’t manage to get any benefit
12:35:37 From Martha Stark, MD : Dr. Smith – Do you then take a “drug holiday” every now and then from your daily 1 mg dose of LDN?
12:36:09 From Martha Stark, MD : Brenda – LDN requires a prescription and needs to be “compounded”

Joel – It seems as if she kind of did say that… i.e., that it would be completely ineffective

Could you ask her about getting the slides?
13:07:18 From fr. Sauppé : Sorry. I tried and tried to unmute. Hmmm. Hertzheimer effect or Die Off caused by LDN. I had terrible headache and then stopped.
13:08:01 From Brenda’s iPhone : Do you have a book to heal the gut?
13:09:00 From Martha Stark, MD : fr. Sauppe – The reason that some people do suffer from worsening symptoms is that LDN can be particularly effective very quickly and the die-off effect of organisms with underlying infections, can trigger a healing reaction called a Herxheimer reaction. This is a reaction by the body to endotoxin like products which are released by the death of harmful microorganisms within the body.
