Hi All,

I saw this post in another group and it points up the importance of
using the right filler when compounding Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN):

WARNING on filler, especially those with CANCER

DO NOT USE Calcium Carbonate(CC).

Myself, as an MS patient, playing around with fillers at the 3rd month
into LDN I switched from Lactose filler to Calcium Carbonate filler.

HUGE MISTAKE, the CC made LDN to become sustained release/slow release,
a major problem as LDN needs to be fast release or the LDN is worthless
in your system. CC does not do this to LDN every time it is made up but
it can at any time cause LDN to release slow so I warn everyone to
please stay clear of any pharmacist who uses Calcium Carbonate in the
LDN capsules.

During my 3rd month on LDN in my switching my filler from Lactose to
Calcium Carbonate I noticed within the first 5 days my MS symptoms
starting to return. I immediately called my pharmacist and she mixed up
a new batch with Lactose and I took that and all went back to great
again and has continued to be great since then and I've been on 4.5mg of
LDN 4 years now with absolutely no disease progression.

This sort of disaster could cost a cancer patient his/her life, so
BEWARE Cancer patients, stay clear of Calcium Carbonate as your capsule
filler. Be firm in this with your pharmacist and tell him/her why you
fear CC. I'm not the only person this has happened to. Fast release
fillers that are good are Lactose, Acidophilus
(non-dairy/non-refrigerate), Gelatin, Avicel-a.k.a. cellulose (if
allergic can cause headache, nausea, vomiting).

Dr. Bihari always used Lactose over all fillers but if you're allergic
request acidophilus or gelatin.

Cornstarch has been used but many get sick to their stomachs on
cornstarch filler.
