LDN is a therapy that has shown promise in a variety of health issues including infertility and other symptoms associated with PCOS. LDN boosts the immune system, the mechanism for which we do not entirely understand. LDN makes the immune system begin working at optimum levels again which includes the correction of the many imbalances which plague out body. Studies have also helped to uncover some relationships between the immune system, the hormonal imbalance of the body and the problems experienced by women with PCOS.
LDN therapy requires taking 4.5mg by mouth at bedtime. The medication will cause a blockage of endorphin receptors throughout the body, and decreases hyperfunction of microglial cells, which are supporting cells in the nervous system that regulate immune and inflammatory response. The brief blockage every night appears to be enough to effect a prolonged change in many aspects of the immune system and increases the body’s ability to heal itself.
Although LDN is noted for being side-effect free because it stimulates the body’s own mechanisms, there are clients for whom it is not well-suited especially those being treated for addictions.
LDN is ONLY available at a specialty compounding pharmacy and will not be available at your local pharmacy.
