Has LDN ever been used for myeloproliferative diseases?

[Mariel]

I posted this on Sally's thread about LDN, but I decided to give it more exposure by posting here.
I have Polycythemia Vera, a disease where bone marrow makes too many platelets and red cells.
This can cause stroke, although the proliferation is not malignant. It is considered rare, like two other diseases I have, Porphyria and Monoclonal Gammopathy. If anyone knows anything let me know. I have failed six attempts at chemotherapy because of wretched side effects, especially such painful feet that I almost could not walk and nearly lost a toe. I tried both Hydrea and Interferon A, 3 forms of the latter.

Thanks.

Hi Mariel,
I don't see any myeloproliferative diseases listed on the LDN Website where there is a list of diseases that LDN might help.

I don't see LDN mentioned among the possible treatments for LDN here:

If you want to do a more thorough search, you might be able to find some instances where it's been tried. My guess is that those would be unusual though.

:o Go to the search mode at the bottom of this alternative medicine board. I have been going to it for over 10 years and it is where I learned about LDN which I have been on for almost 12 years.

There is probably a link to Brenda's LDN board. That would be a good place to start. Web site:
