What
is Low Dose Naltrexone?
Low dose Naltrexone plainly put is the use of
Naltrexone in low doses of 3-4.5 mg. Naltrexone has profound effects on the
immune system. LDN deals with a variety of diseases affecting the autoimmune
system such as cancers, AIDS, degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's
among a myriad of other conditions and diseases.
How naltrexone works isn't by treating
someone's symptoms but rather collaborates with the immune system and
efficiently fights the infection by finding the underlying cause.
LDN is a relatively inexpensive drug compared
to its effectiveness. On average the cost would total up to 100 dollars every
three months that is roughly a dollar a day.
Safety
and tolerance
Numerous studies conducted by both mainstream
and holistic physicians on what conditions LDN is effective garner positive
results consistently.
The effect of the drug on people is safe and
well tolerated. Its side effects are slim, but mostly none experienced on the
average patient. The fact that administration is in small doses and the body
therefore also builds a tolerance to the effects due to an increase in
endorphin levels.
Lastly, LDN does not stay long in the
body. Consequently, if an emergency
befalls, and opioids administration is necessary, it is doubtful that the
patient will experience any withdrawal symptoms.
LDN is not available as an over the counter
drug can only be acquired by prescription only from a qualified physician.
How
it works
LDN
works with your body's immune system through its interaction with your body's
endorphins. Though most commonly referenced to your mood, endorphins play
functional roles in -pain relief,
·
immune system regulation
·
-prevents angiogenesis (the growth of
blood vessels that feed tumors
·
-The growth of cells
Autoimmune disorders can occur with unusually
low concentrations of these endorphins. The particular endorphin that has been
found to influence cell growth, as well as immunity, is known as Opioid Growth
Factor (OGF) or Met-Enkephalin. LDN works by attaching itself to the brain and
in all immune cells, blocking your opioid receptors and the reception of
endorphins, for a couple of hours in the middle of the night. Majority of the
people who use LDN ingest it just before they sleep.
Boosting of vital elements of your immune
system takes place by increasing your body's production of metenkephalin and
endorphins (your natural opioids), hence improving your immune function.
Pain
relief
Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis, fibromyalgia, Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and many more
pain-related conditions are within the realm of
While taking LDN at bedtime, it attaches to
opioid receptors in the brain, and all types of immune cells temporarily
blocking endorphins from attaching to them
Signals body to increase endorphin production
Helps orchestrate activity of stem cells,
macrophages, natural killer cells, T and B cells and other immune cells
Also, prevents immune system over activity.
Conditions
benefiting from LDN
ALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
In patients with degenerative brain illnesses
such as ALS, the disease progression is slowed down. People with ALS may even
regain functions they lost.
Cancer
Good
news for cancer patients whose treatment is rigorous and harsh, since LDN is
not as severe, e.g. the use of LDN to treat cancer is significantly less severe
compared to treatments like chemotherapy or radiation treatment which weaken
someone's autoimmune system. And tests conducted have shown LDN to work in
situations where both chemo and radiation therapy failed.
Patients notice improvements in -muscle
frailty,
-
seizures,
-
physical and speech coordination,
-
breathing
-
Fatigue and tiredness
Parkinson’s
disease
LDN has shown to reduce the symptoms and
effects of Parkinson disease. According to Dr. Buhari’s research and tests on
his patients, the hand movement known as the glabellar retrogressed and finally
disappeared. On some patients, he noticed that the effects of PD stopped
progressing.
Rheumatoid
arthritis
Joint pain and swelling among patients with
rheumatoid arthritis cleared.
These are just a few of the diseases LDN
capable of treating other examples include Alzheimer's Anti-aging Chronic
fatigue syndrome Lupus among others.
Many other conditions
In higher doses (50 mg and up), can treat drug
and alcohol addiction
Conclusion
They’re very many benefits to using LDN but
before taking action, please consult your doctor and let them advise you accordingly.
