Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 The proposed mechanism of action of LDN is likely wrong and does not make scientific sense (based on what we know today).

Our endorphins are located in our Pituitary Gland. For some reason people with MS and some other diseases have a low endorphin level. Our endorphins help our immune system to fight disease and when we have a faulty/low endorphin level, we develop disease. By boosting or upregulating our endorphin level back towards a normal level, disease progression slows or halts because our immune system has a broken link on the mend and the immune system starts doing what it was meant to do, Fight Disease. The National MS Society world believes that the immune system is over-active and attacking itself and that the immune system should be suppressed/down-regulated to stop the attacking. This theory so far to me has failed miserably. There's been too many of us with varying endorphin low diseases who are stopping their disease progression by boosting/upregulating one small piece of the immune system, the endorphins just with one little dose of LDN at night.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 You think the UK MS society was negative you should have seen the US MS society's response to LDN. But if you check out www.thisisms.com they have a rebuttle article. Good site, unbias. --- In low dose naltrexone , " ant0069 " <Ant069@h...> wrote: > Look at this article: > > http://www.mssociety.org.uk/research/research_explained/ldn.html > > Is it me or is it way too negative and perhaps even misinformed? > > LDN's been working great for me for several years and I'm a big time > skeptic.
