I&amp;#39;ve had psoriasis for 2 1/2 years and havent been able to find anything to clear it up. Curcumin does help keep it in check but in no way does it cause remission. I ordered LDN from international anti aging systems 2 weeks ago and noticed improvement by day 4 ! It has been noticibly better almost daily and at day 15 at least half of the affected area is totaly clear with the remaining area improving. I have tried everything in the last 2 years and wanted to share my remarkable experience with others. In my opinion my psoriasis is being caused by Lform bacteria ( see marshall protacall for more info ) as I have tested positive for L form bacteria. I am curious if my immune system is now attacking the l form bacteria. I will retest in a few months. I have had 2 side effects. Slight constipation which is lessening. and some fatigue. I wonder if the fatigue can be from the die off effect if in fact the L form bacteria is being eliminated ? and lastly my doctor has written me a script for the 4.5 mg naltrexone however i cannot find a pharmacy who carries it in that dose has anyone found a pharmacy in the states who carries the 4.5 mg dose ? its 49.99 + 15.00 shipping through IAS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Larry&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s one thing for drug companies to exaggerate claims for their own drugs but quite another to denigrate other drugs for no reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if doctors can be proved to have lied to the public about results such as these, certainly life in prison or, if possible by state law, the death penalty should be given.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be quite simple for the established medical community to verify published results of this therapy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the punishments were very harsh, false claims would be eliminated and verified results would not be doubted by anyone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Can someone clarify - thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

Gluten destroys their intestines. LDN helps heal the intestines and blocks gluten and dairy from stimulating their opioid receptor sites, which then lets the immune system go down.&lt;/p&gt;

There is a great deal of false information being touted by so-called experts that is wrong. Early in the last century, prior to the corruption of modern medicine via the organizing of medicine, many brilliant physicians and researchers thoroughly understood the mechanism of disease. Cancer research clearly indicated that cancer as well as all other diseases, was found only in a state of hyperalkalosis. Larger than normal amounts of potassium and sodium were found inside the affected cells. The blood serum was found to be overly alkaline and those persons who appeared to be immune to cancer were found to have serum pH levels around 7.3 and cancer patients often found to be around 7.54. Cancer produces about 70 times as much lactic acid as does regular exercise and it the presence of high levels of it plus a few other acids that are found in a diseased body that indicates an acidity in the excretions when in reality the cells themselves are overly alkaline. Persons who alkalize their diets do improve but it isn&amp;#39;t directly due to the reduction of acid accumulations as much as it is bringing back into the body missing minerals that are paramount for normal cellular metabolism. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All disease has but a single cause and that is due to inadequate drainage. It is the unimpaired flow of lymphatic fluid that nourishes the cells and carries off their waste products. When the lymphatic channels become congested and the circulation becomes obstructed, the lack of an adequate supply of oxygen produces hypoxia in the cells and formations of detritis (waste products from cellular decomposition) that pollute the body fluids and produce soil conditions conducive to the growth and proliferation of pathogens. The key to resolving diseases lies in the restoration of lymphatic circulation and this can be accomplished using hydrochloric acid and potassium salts. The magic bullet ie., Therapia Sterilisans Magna is dilute HCL with minerals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Steel cut Oats is a processing term and are closer to the natural state of the Oat as opposed to Rolled or Instant oats which are heavily depleted in their nutritional make-up due to their processing. &amp;nbsp;Oatstraw tea is another alternative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately it&amp;#39;s proving difficult at best to find a source showing chemical make-ups of foods and herbs beyond the known vitamins, minerals, etc. we are familiar with now. &amp;nbsp;It&amp;#39;s also important to note that opioid antagonists have several categories and sub categories affecting the receptors and which receptors and affect them in different ways. &amp;nbsp;Wouldn&amp;#39;t it be fab to have a book with the drug and the original source(s) it was derived or conceived from, ie: Aspirin, silicates from Willow Bark. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m sure there must be a good one out there...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I think is pertinent to this article and autoimmune diseases and cancers is the uprise in their occurrences, showing us that our diets are lacking in nutritional balance. &amp;nbsp;The fact that our bodies need a drug to mimic substances found in or derived from natural sources in order to correct and heal the associated diseases is yet another signpost, or should I say Billboard lit up with neon lights.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s good to know this drug is there to help the infirmed, but wouldn&amp;#39;t prevention with proper eating habits curtail the problem to begin with? &amp;nbsp;Let&amp;#39;s get back to the causes... disease is after the damage is done. &amp;nbsp;What can I do to live a healthier life less prone to getting these diseases to begin with? &amp;nbsp;And if ill, what are natural alternatives to heal? &amp;nbsp;That is what I look to a naturopathic doctor for. &amp;nbsp;Use the science to build our knowledge base to get to the root answer in why we are ill and what we need to correct the imbalance.&lt;/p&gt;
