Ok, but what part don't you agree with?

"What is the best dosage of LDN to begin treatment with?

For an adult who is not significantly below the normal weight range, the optimal dose of LDN is 4.5mg, taken each night at bedtime; i.e., between 9pm and 3am. One can begin at this dose level. If one were to develop persistent sleep disturbance (i.e., a sleep disturbance lasting longer than 10 to 14 days) after starting LDN, which occurs in less than 2% of users, then the dose may be decreased to 3mg or 2mg.

People who have multiple sclerosis that has led to muscle spasms are advised to begin treatment with just 3mg daily and to maintain that dosage"

http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/further_q_and_a.htm

All the links I've posted say most of us should be on 4.5mg.

All say that 3.0mg is sufficient if that's all a person can tolerate (due to side-effects).

One says 1.75mg to 4.5mg is therapeutic . . . but dosages below or above are not recommended.

Ultimately, we want to aim for 3.0mg - 4.5mg though . . .

Like I said though, they've not tested a lower dosage . . . so in fact maybe it would be sufficient. But, to quote Dr. Agrawal "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
