Post Low Dose Naltrexone has been partially successful in halting the progression

Although I am not a doctor (idiots!), I believe that the master glands (pineal, addrenal, pituitary, hypothymus, thyroid) can go out of sync causing an immune or autoimmune disorder.

Low dose naltrexone (LDN) will halt the progression of MS.

LDN has been partially successful in halting the progression of ALS.

Low dose naltrexone interacts with the master glands to normalize the autoimmune function to tell the body to stop attacking itself.

LDN is only partially successful at reducing my FMS symptoms (I don't have ALS) thus I am taking additional drugs to fill in the gaps that the LDN does not cover.

Pregnenolone (not a steroid) was used during the 1940's for treating autoimmune diseases with great success (but this was squelched by the pharmaciutical companies- no money in it). I am using it in addition to LDN to treat the autoimmune aspect of my disease.

Melatonin has a lot of influence on the autoimmune system and master glands. As an antioxidant it is said to act at the intercellular level on mitochondria in the body. The animal model of ALS suggests that defective mitochondria contribute to the disease. Thus melatonin might be useful in treating ALS.

The circulatory system is VERY important to the nervous system (and the WHOLE body). I take vinpocetine and Veinotonic II (very important) to cover my bases.

I am taking the following to control my FMS symptoms with remarkable success:

low dose naltrexone (LDN), high doses of melatonin at night, high doses of pregnenolone 4X daily, vinpocetine 4X daily, and Veinotonic II 4X daily (very important).

The LDN (3mg) needs a prescription (the hardest part is finding a doctor to prescribe it)

You can find information on internet on all of the above.

To Do Nothing is to guarantee FAILURE.
