Have you tried the lowdosenaltrexone.org website? Other way is to find a list of nearby pharmacies that compound... ask to find if any compound LDN (because if you find a Dr you will still need a pharmacy)... If you find a pharmacy that compounds it, then they'd be able to say who prescribes it...

Thanks Kev!! Great Ideas!! We have 5 pharmacies local that compound, 3 are chain pharmacies but the other 2 are locally owned! I will def try that!! I have tried that website and they gave me a couple of names also but they are 10-12 hours away. Would like to stay closer to home if possible and they also gave me a doc that does phone consults but that is pretty expensive!!! I'm a single mom so limited on funds, but in respect I will also do what I need to to keep myself healthy for my Girl! Including driving 10 hours if need be to not take the immunosuppressive and biologic meds!! Thanks for the advice!! Your 'story' is truly inspiring to me (& I am sure many others)!!! Thanks again!

No problem... all the best... Another thing is..., once you have it prescribed from a distant doctor... AND ... it starts to do its thing.... then you may be able to convince a local doctor to write 'renewals'... you see? This far off 'specialist' (or whatever) writes the initial scripts... you get them... LDN does its thing... and you end up out of the woods.. Then perhaps with the 'pressure off' (not being the physician who originated it) a local doctor might 'sign off' on renewing your prescription because they are following the other doctors lead. No guarantee this will work.... but it wouldn't hurt to give it a go.

And there may be other naturopaths (or whoever) who can write prescriptions for LDN...
I'm not familiar with the laws in your state. I do know (this was years ago) there were some US doctors who would prescribe after nothing more than a telephone consultation.
A rather expensive option that fortunately I never had to pursue... BUT.. I recall being at a place in my life where I was considering trying anything to get that initial dose of LDN.

I see what you are saying about the "far away" thing....actually makes perfect sense to me!! Will do the phone consult doctor at last resort! Like you I am willing to do just about anything to get LDN! Thanks again!
