Re:Suggestions for naltraxone

[Guest guest]

Hi June,

It's a nuisance to divide the powder in capsules but it can be done.

Maybe not totally equally but close enough. However, to start with, how

sensitive to meds are you? Maybe 4.5 is just fine. I AM sensitive

and I started at 1.0, and although they claim this is not a viable dose,

I did get help almost immediately on improved resistance to constant

viral attacks as well as the wonderful improvement in endorphins.

Anyhow, if you want to divide the capsule, dump it on waxed paper and

shove the little piles around until the look about equal. If youa

re trying to halve it, you can often just dump fairly well from the 4.5

cap into an empty gelatin cap until you have what looks about like half

left in the original one.

I just got my naltraxone 4.5 mg. I thought it was tablets but its

capsules! I was going to start at 1/4 the dose and now I'm not sure how

to do that. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

June

n, does the LDN stay suspended even with the filler from the capsules?Mara

I don't think that's a good idea.

> Sorry, just curious to know what is nattraxone used for, in what kind of > condition???>  > Thanks> Rani. People using it here, for Crohn's or colitis, are using what's referred to as low-dose naltrexone, or LDN.  It's important to refer to it in that manner because naltrexone, as naltrexone, is used at 50 or 100 mg to treat drug addiction. LDN is used not more than 4.5 mg at a time in order to induce the body to produce more endorphins, which, in turn, starts to regulate an out-of-whack immune system. That's why LDN works so well for dozens of conditions -- auto-immune-related illnesses, including various cancers, and MS, post-polio, etc. It's taken a bed time. During sleep it blocks the cells' opioid receptors for a few hours; when that blockade wears off it causes the body to produce endorphins. Endorphins play a very big role in the immune system, and people with Crohn's, colitis and a host of other conditions related to immune-system malfunction are universally low in endorphin levels -- which is a major reason why such conditions almost always cause some level of fatigue.The low-dose use of naltrexone is an off-label use, so a lot of doctors are unfamiliar with it. (But many, many drugs have alternate, off-label uses, so that, per se, is nothing unusual.) n>> >>> > Subject: Re:Suggestions for naltraxone> To: BTVC-SCD > Date: Friday, August 6, 2010, 3:53 AM>>>  >>>> Thanks guys,>> I dumped it into an empty pill bottle,added 4 droppers of fluid.

Apparently the filler doesn't stay in the suspension, so most (or all?) of

it sinks and you're left with just naltrexone water. Which is I guess why

you shouldn't shake it every time you use it.

Huh...I've been shaking it all this time.

I've often wondered how well the naltrexone distributes in water. It seems like

when the batch is fresh, it is very very bitter/strong tasting. But when I get

to towards the last few doses, it isn't as bad.
