I changed the time that I take my LDN from around midnight to around 3AM and I seem to be responding to it with more strength and feeling.

I didn't do it on purpose, at first. I fell asleep early and didn't awaken until 3AM. My body liked the change, so I continued it.

I'm thinking that there is probably a perfect time for each of us, between 10PM and 4AM, and my time is 3AM. It was working fine at midnight....just a bit better at around 3AM!!

I guess my endorphins are doing their thing and LDN is doing it's thing at about that time, in my body.

"Dr. Berkson uses ALA along with low dose naltrexone (LDN) for the reversal of a number of more serious health conditions such as:

* Lupus
* Rheumatoid arthritis
* Dermatomyositis (an inflammatory muscle disease)
* Autoimmune diseases

Most of his patients normalize in about one month on this combination of ALA and LDN."

Thanks Kitty for the article. I had a hard time viewing it. They want you to sign up to read. I read it bit by bit, over the top of the advertisement.

There was a reason I can't take ALA, but I don't recall at this moment. I will have to look it up. Maybe allergy? Hmm I have many food allergies.

I have started taking a different multi-vitamin specific to women 50 and over (even tho I'm not quite there yet!). Nature's Code is the brand and it's a packet of 6 different vitamins. I'm also taking Alpha Lipoic Acid (600 mg 1X daily) and Turmeric (400 mg 1 X daily). This along with my diet changes have made a huge difference in how I feel. It's not been easy and has taken alot of will power but I can really see and feel the difference eliminating sugar and high fructose corn syrup from my diet has made. This, along with my LDN, seems to be the magic bullet for me.

I do believe that even if I didn't have the MS sx that I do I'd continue to take LDN just for it's positive cancer fighting qualities and the overall health benefits it has.

Just the other day I cheated and ate a piece of pizza (DS ordered a Papa John's pizza and it smelled so good!). It tasted good but it was so not worth the indigestion and bloated feeling I had for hours afterwards. I sometimes miss the junk I used to eat but then I remember how I felt after eating that pizza and the desire soon fades!

It's been amazing seeing how some simple changes in my lifestyle can make such a big difference. I believe LDN plays the biggest part but the dietary changes and improvements can only enhance what LDN already does for me.

Alright, Kelly, good on ya (as they say)

I'll take care of doing all of the sugar and spice eating for you. It's too late to save me. Would God have created the sugar cane, if it was bad for us? Except Diabetics, of course.

Keep feeling good, Kell..

Don't get me wrong.......it's hard to eliminate the sugar and sugar products.....but they were upsetting my stomach so badly. I was taking Prevacid and Tums and it wasn't helping. I thought I had an ulcer or something. As soon as I eliminated the sugar products I got better almost overnight. Then I noticed the benefits of it other than making my tummy feel better. Weight loss and better skin. And, a reduction in MS sx. The vitamins help, too.

I cave every now and then and have a treat. But I can't enjoy it because it makes me feel so bad afterwards. What I'm really craving right now is a cheeseburger and fries from Five Guys. It's got to be the best cheeseburger ever made. My Boca Burger will have to do for now.

How's the new time working for you, Sal? I still take mine anywhere between 1 AM and 3 AM and it seems to work well. I hope it's working for you, too!

I'm back to around 1AM too, Kell..

Hi sorry to be missing again. Still working out my Thyroid problems. I am to see an ENT surgeon to test for airway constriction on Wed. The largest nodule is huge and presses on my Trachea (windpipe).

TG, my biopsy of that largest nodule was benign. The two new little ones that they worry about, were two small to find with the FNA Ultrasound to biopsy. They made a few passes with the needle but got nothing but me sore. Lol

As for the LDN, I take my LDN any time between 1 am to 3 am. I shoot for the 1 am target, but I shower, I read and have my coffee and a yogurt. The time goes by so fast.

I kick myself for being up so late. I have a very early ENT appointment, I may as well just stay up.

Kelly, your diet sounds good. Too much sugar and corn syrup in our diet is not good. Like meat and other foods, everything in moderation is the key. If you are trying to lose weight then be good and do your best to avoid them.

I am told I am thin, but at 5' 6", 135 lbs, I don't think so. The biopsy doc said I had a skinny neck, so the nodule could be pressing inward, because it only shows a little bit on the outside.

When I worked I wore size 12 or14, now I wear size 8. I used to eat junk with my coffee most of the day to try to stay awake.

Sorry to ramble again and go OT.

I'm so relieved that the nodule was benign....but, so sorry you are still plagued by the problem.

Yes, 1AM seems to be the best time for most of us.?.?.

I think we will all feel better when this heat subsides.
