LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)

Check into this treatment for your autoimmune disorders.  It can be highly effective for autoimmune disorders, without the side effects of prednisone.  I have a friend with a condition and he was able to get off prednisone and is feeling and looking great on this treatment.

It is off label and an orphan drug, meaning there's no profit potential for Pharmaceuticals specially at one tenth of the standard dose ( for addictions) and the challenge is to find a doctor with a sympathetic ear, to prescribe this for his patient.
If anyone interested to try this, I have somewhere an email of a lady in the US, who maintains a list of LDN-friendly doctors who would prescribe, but only after telephone consultation.

Hi!
Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist used mainly to treat alcohol and opioid dependence. It is also used to treat tobacco dependence, personality disorders, self-injurious behaviors. In low dose it helps manage the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia.
The drug may not be helpful for all or any autoimmune disorder and should not be used without a doctor’s prescription. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
