Lexie's Breakthrough: Managing Parkinson's with Low Dose Naltrexone
Somewhere in this world I'm going to get help and I'm going to get help for other people.
What if there was a way to manage Parkinson's symptoms that didn't rely solely on traditional medications? In this episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief', host Robert Rodgers chats with Lexie, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease back in 2008. After trying a range of prescribed medications, Lexie found herself feeling disheartened. The treatments were more like temporary fixes rather than long-term solutions. But Lexie wasn't ready to settle for that.
She took matters into her own hands and started researching alternative treatments. That's when she stumbled upon Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Fast forward 2.5 years, and Lexie has not only weaned herself off her Parkinson's meds but also feels better than she did three years ago. In this episode, she shares her transformative journey with LDN, explaining how it works on the immune system and its potential benefits for Parkinson's patients.
However, Lexie also highlights the hurdles in getting LDN prescribed, as many doctors are unfamiliar with it. She offers practical advice on working with healthcare providers and emphasizes the importance of sourcing LDN from reliable places. While clinical trials are still needed to fully validate LDN's effectiveness, Lexie's story is a beacon of hope for those seeking alternative treatment options. Tune in to hear her tips, experiences, and the positive impact LDN has had on her life.
