I wonder how increased dosage affects the liver.

But wouldn't the increased doseage block too many of the

endorphines..thus defeating the purpose of why we take it??

The idea is to just block the endorphines enough to fool our system

into increasing production of more endorphines. The original use of

Naltrexone at the larger doses, was too block completely the

endorphines created by narcotics.....thus helping to curing

addiction to narcotics.

Remember that it's the increase of endorphines that is helping us.

not increased blocking. That is why different doses of ldn works

for different people (1.75mg to 4.5mg) It has been told to us, that

anything above 5mg would not work for our purpose.

This was my point to him too, Sally. But he feels completely

different about the theory of how LDN works. He also says that the

increased naltrexone is helping with several 'symptoms'. I havent

asked him about the increased liver-risk yet.

[Guest guest]

Is he just guessing on this or does he have clinical or scientific

knowledge, that LDN can be used at higher doseages, and still raise

endorphines??

Thanks, Sally

Hi Sally,

s' last post:

>I believe that the hypothalamus which generates endorphins

is malfunctioning in people with MS. Thus the low endorphin levels

are incidental of a larger problem and have nothing to do with

causing MS itself.

Again I ask the question- Why don't people with AIDS, who have low

endorphin levels, develop MS?

The ANSWER- because endorphin levels are an indicator and not a cause

of MS.
