Re: Science behind it all! - new LDN trial

[Guest guest]

I can't find anything regarding high dose naltrexone for opioid

receptor related ills, like MS or cancer. High-dose seems to be used

for addictive/compulsive disorders.

But I did find another exciting trial for low dose naltrexone, for

another illness that can be improved through LDN action on opioid

receptors. This is good news! And this company wants to bring LDN to

market, which will encourage even more research.

Positive Clinical Data in Irritable Bowel Syndrome

" It is believed that an imbalance of opioid activity in the gut

contributes to the symptoms that comprise IBS...[LDN] is the first in

a new class of drugs called opioid antagonists designed to restore

the balance of opioid activity in the gut. "

The choice between low dose versus high dose is based on empirical

observations by dr.B. Since the mechanism of the LDN effect is not

proven, we are all essentially speculating as to what works and why.

For those who are of a conservative nature, go with Dr.B's

suggestion, for those willing to experiment, or for whom low doses

dont do the trick, try the Fuhrman solution. I would however not be

hasty in banning anybody, remember Dr.B is in a way " banned " by the

neurologists and NMSS!. Who knows, perhaps high doses work in some

individuals ?. e.g. Note: there are individuals (rare) who can not

get HIV/AIDS due to lack of certain receptors!.

Dr.B's experience is that LDN can treat cancer, as opposed to cause

cancer. This is based on the work of Ian Zagon, whose work Fuhrman

has cited. So I am a bit confused as to why Fuhrman says LDN can

cause cancer ?. I have not however, read in detail the material

submitted by Fuhrman, so I must probably refrain from commenting.

Definitive answers to these questions require clinical trials and

experimental research. I wish I could confidently proclaim one way or

the other.., we just have to wait until the studies come out.
