Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Q: What do they do? A: Although more research needs to be done, endorphins are believed to produce four key effects on the bodymind: they enhance the immune system, they relieve pain, they reduce stress, and postpone the aging process. Scientists also have found that beta-endorphins can activate human NK (Natural Killer) cells and boost the immune system against diseases and kill cancer cells you're right, interesting site. :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Cancer cells are not healthy normal cells. They can be tripped up easily. The bonding of the Naltrexone to the opioid receptors may (and even likely) have an unanticipated effect on their ability to reproduce, resist other treatment chemistry, or trigger cell death. These effects would be in addition to the benefits of beta-endorphin level increases. Don Schultz (no medical training, and not terribly bright) Near Joliet IL.
