This is next on my list if LDN doesn't work.


I have an autoimmune condition. I've tried: fecal transplant, LDN, helminthic therapy, AIP diet, and ofcourse vitamins/supplements. To varying degrees and with varying side effects, LDN, helminthic therapy, and AIP all work and seem to have the widest application. I would recommend trying AIP first for 14-28 days with vitamins/supplements (length depends on how quick your issues appear/disappear), and possibly adding LDN on top if need be.

LDN and Helminthic therapy both work but aren't very natural, so using them is a quality-of-life decision. The main problem with helminthic therapy is that it takes too long to start/stop.

I would only consider fecal transplant if your issues are predominately digestion related, and I would only bother if regular probiotics are life-changing for you and you want to push that as far as you can. Then again there isn't any good reason to NOT do it; just shame, etc., so go for it (this also applies to LDN and helminthic therapy though, so whatever).

I was very sick for about 8 years and for 3 of those years was pretty debilitated. This year I am finally in a good place. I don't currently eat a restricted diet anymore and I take very few supplements and I don't use any of the above anymore.

Supplements that people find helpful might include: glutamine, beta-glucans, turmeric, D3...

Anyone reading this with an autoimmune condition or who thinks they might can please email me. If you have questions or are struggling, please reach out.
