Hi guys,
I have read a bit about the medicine LDN and know that some of you used it in the past or still use it.
I also think this can really help me because of my bad working immune system, pain symptoms, fatigue and so on.
I don't know of my doctor knows LDN in Belgium and if she is able to prescribe it... I will ask her about this at my next appointment.
But i was searching about LDN and i also found a surprising thing about apigenin, that is considered to work as "a natural LDN".
I will translate it. Has someone used apigenin instead of LDN and does it work?
It comes from a pdf file from the website 'https://het-endorfine-herstelplan.nl/'
Lucas has written two book (i don't have the books) about endorphines and epigenetic restoration.
This is the translation:
Apigenin
Apigenin is a flavonoid that occurs naturally in some plants. Parsley, celery, celeriac and chamomile in particular contain high concentrations. For example, five grams of dried parsley contains no less than 84 mg of apigenin. The effect of apigenin can be compared to Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), although the difference is that it not only increases the sensitivity of endorphins, but also enkephalin and dynorphin. These three substances control the body's own opioid system, or the endorphin system, which I described in my book The endorphin recovery plan - Integral epigenetics in practice. Depending on the study, 25 mg apigenin corresponds to approximately 0.5 mg LDN. Dosages of 0.5 mg LDN and lower are called ULDN (Ultra Low Dose Naltrexone). LDN is often used in doses of 1.5 to 4.5 mg. My personal experience is that 25 mg of apigenin is the ideal dosage for adults. For children this is 2.5 to 5 mg.
For natural cancer treatment or support, 25 mg to 75 mg apigenin in combination with kaempferol can be chosen. These agents should not be combined with cytostatics. Research in animals shows that apigenin and kaempferol have a positive effect on more than eighty percent of cancer types. There are no reference studies in humans because ethics committees refuse research that uses natural resources to treat cancer. There are five flavonoids in food that slow down the development of cancer, according to epidemiological research. These are apigenin, kaempferol, luteolin, myricetin and quercetin.
