Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Since there are three KNOWN OPIOID RECEPTORS in the body's chemistry system, identified as Mu, Kappa, and Delta, it would be common sense to think that either drug can have an effect on one of these opioid receptors. I think the research is looking for what works on what and why. With MS and other auto immune system diseases someday the right combination may be found to set the immune system on the right path. Without each of us being biochemists it is difficult to understand the findings and research. As these two drugs are currently being tested and used NOW by MD's most of them use the drugs as they were initially intended such as Naloxone (Narcon) in emergency situations for CNS and respiratory failure in various situations and Naltrexone as a preventative for further opioid abuse. As of now, research is just beginning to see the effects of using either drug (low doses for both?) on our body's reactions at the biochemistry level. The cells in our body and the intricate changes unseen to the eye do more than we can ever imagine. The secret is this: The cells have a tremendous job to do and each part of a cell must function in 100% accuracy to make our body operate at optimal capacity. When the cellular activity breaks down, this is where illness begins. Answer: What will make our cells and biochemisty levels function at the peak and healthy level. And: Why did it all go haywire in the first place???? If these answers were found, the illnesses would be gone, in my humble opinion!! mymisspriss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
