A friend of mine just sent me this.

Makes sense to me.

Lastly, as far as shaking the bottle. I

happened to find the following:

" For those of you that prepare

naltrexone from 50 mg tablets dissolved

in water- I have a strong recommendation

for you: do not shake the solution

before use. Shake when you prepare it,

but once the tablet is dissolved, there

is no need to suspend the insoluble

portions of the tablet.

This is fairly important for those with

Crohn's, but possibly other diseases as

well. If the tablet contains iron oxide

(the ones we buy do), the iron is very

hard on the system. Naltrexone is very

soluble; it will already be in the

solution- it does NOT settle out. But

removing the iron oxide may help those

with Crohn's.

I am an analytical chemist, and have

discovered this by trial-and-error. Iron

supplementation is strongly discouraged

for those on the SCD- and there is a

very good reason for that. The reason

the body is iron-deficient is because it

believes it is combating an infection.

If the iron as supplements is withheld,

one can consume iron-rich foods like red

meat, eggs, liver, etc. If the iron is

added- particularly as the iron oxide in

naltrexone tablets- the result is pain

and bleeding, even in very small amounts.

Again- I'm a chemist by training. If you

make your own solution, PLEASE do not

consume the insoluble sediment. There is

absolutely no need to shake the solution

right before you consume it- only when

you're preparing it for the first time-

as the naltrexone is already dissolved.

I hope this helps someone somewhere.

Good luck, and best wishes. "
