Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for autoimmune conditions
Low dose naltrexone (LDN) has been studied for decades for its utilization in reducing inflammation, specifically for those living with chronic pain and autoimmune conditions.
While Naltrexone was primarily utilized for for opioid addiction, a doctor in New York, Dr. Bernard Bihari, discovered that when it was taken at a much lower dose, LDN exhibited beneficial results for patients with autoimmunity, cancer, and HIV or AIDS. This is why the name Low dose Naltrexone (LDN) has been established.
Autoimmune patients typically have lower levels of endorphins than people without autoimmunity. In many patients that are on LDN therapy, endorphin levels are increased and symptoms are decreased. Practitioners have been prescribing LDN to more patients that have had difficulty with commercially available options.
"LDN may become a promising immunomodulatory agent in the therapy for cancer and many immune-related diseases. "
