Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I apologize if I offended anybody. Even if I didn't just in case I did or do in the future I apologize and prepologize. Please forgive me. Sorry. Just because something is useful in pain mgmt does not make it unrelated or useless to immune function control. We were discussing LDN and its supposed effect on endorphin release. Endorphin binds to the same receptor as morphine. It would be nice if even immune sufferers with chronic pain could take LDN without fear of it interacting unfavorably with other pain medicine. Endorphin may have less influence on pain than enkephalin and " substance P " . Body mass does influence effective dose for similarly sensitive people. I may need 50 ng per kg, not 18, to have the same effect as Larry and Kiki. Here's another paper by our friends in the Bronx: Adv Neuroimmunol. 1994;4(2):69-82. Morphine receptors in immunocytes and neurons. Makman MH.
