Guest guest Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I tried Low Dose Naltrexone. It's a pure opiate antagonist and for me it made me feel like I wanted to jump out of my skin. It is however helping a lot of people including those with MS. It was approved by the FDA in the eighties I believe to treat heroine addicts. When taken regularly it completely blocks the euphoric effects of heroin. I actually take opiates myself and this is another reason I declined to take it. I have secondary adrenal insufficiency and when I have pain it freaks my adrenals out and I have to take more steroids which I don't want to do. I am choosing my poisons and for now the meds I'm taking are working for me. Most doctors don't want to prescribe this drug primarily for reasons of profits and greed I believe. It's relatively cheap at about $20 a month in the low doses and the pharmaceutical companies can't make a profit from the sale of this drug so of course if they can't make a profit they will disparage and rig clinical trials and do all the things they are notorious for doing to get it off the market so they can sell you their more profitable less effective drugs if you're lucky and toxic drugs if you're not. As Sam said it's an immune booster in that when taken at night it blocks the endorphins receptors in the brain for a few hours and fools your body into making more of them thus boosting your immune system.

I'm only in the beginning stages of researching, but from what I understand, depdning on what ails you it can be helpful if one is also taking other protocols with it. For example there can be problems of LDN causing a temporary increase in candida if you have that. So, doctors that prescribe it will usually require that you are on anticandida protocols as well whether presription or supplements. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Sharon H, why would you take LDN at night if it blocks endorphins? Is it nec to take it at night? > > As Sam said it's an immune booster in that when taken at night it blocks the endorphins receptors in the brain for a few hours and fools your body into making more of them thus boosting your immune system. > > Sharon H. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 That's a good question and I'm not completely sure except that it happens while you sleep. I don't know of another reason why you take it at night.
