FUMS: Giving Multiple Sclerosis The Finger

FUMS 032 – MS and LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) – The Little Pill That Could


Listen Later

Today’s guest on the FUMS Podcast Show is Linda Elsegood, founder of the LDN Research Trust. After her diagnosis and rapid decline pushed her to the very edge, she began hearing about Naltrexone (Nalorex), a drug used to treat addiction to opiate drugs such as heroin or morphine as well as alcoholism.

Linda found that low doses of this inexpensive drug might help the symptoms of people with a wide range of autoimmune conditions, including MS. She started taking the drug and found that it made a huge difference to her MS. She also learned that it was very difficult to get a prescription for LDN.

Since then she has dedicated herself to spreading the word about LDN, setting up the LDN Research Trust in 2004, and helping people around the world find an LDN prescribing doctor.

Topics covered include:

  • Linda's diagnosis and her struggle to get a prescription for LDN
  • The amazing results she got after a short time taking the drug
  • Her campaign to increase access to LDN and the formation of the LDN Research Trust
  • The positive results which can be achieved by combining LDN with CBD [Cannabidiol, a cannabis compound that can have significant medical benefits]
  • The continuing work of the LDN ResearchTrust including a worldwide register of prescribing doctors

 … and so much more!
