Infertility Treatments - The Use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Therapy

[Guest guest]

Infertility is one of the endorphin deficiency states. LDN increases

endorphin levels and helps the immune system heal, factors that

increase and enhance fertility.

Low dose naltrexone (LDN) has been used off label for the treatment

of infertility and recurrent miscarriage by Dr. Hilgers,

founder of the Pope VI Institute for the Study of Human

Reproduction, at Creighton University in Omaha Nebraska since the

early 1990s. Used as part of a treatment protocol known as NaPro

Technology, LDN has been used as a treatment for infertility since

2004. The goal of NaPro Technology is to increase endorphin levels

near the time of ovulation.

Patients who benefit from LDN treatment include:

Patients with premenstrual symptoms lasting for 4 or more days each

cycle

Patients with endometriosis or polycystic ovarian disease (PCOS)

Patients with persistent brown menstrual bleeding

Patients with persistent fatigue or sleep disturbances

Patients with low mood or excessive anxiety

Patients with a personal or family history of autoimmune disease,

including autoimmune infertility.

Side Effects and Contraindications

Side effects of LDN include sleep disturbances, vivid dreams, nausea,

headache and dry mouth. LDN should not be used in patients taking

immunosuppressive drugs including steroids, methotrexate, and

interferon.

Naltrexone should also not be used in patients using opiate-based

pain medications because naltrexone inhibits their effects. In

addition, LDN should not be used in patients with liver or kidney

disease because naltrexone has the potential to damage these organs

when used at high doses. Because of the low doses of naltrexone used

in LDN therapy, side effects are considered rare.

Endorphin Stimulation

Endorphins are compounds that act as neurotransmitters and

neuromodulators, affecting the body on a physiological level, which,

in turn, affects the body on a behavioral level. Because of their

resemblance to opiates, endorphins have analgesic and sedative

effects. As neurotransmitters, endorphins are needed for the normal

processes of motor coordination, learning and memory,

gastrointestinal function, the control of seizures and the hormonal

regulation of the reproductive system. As neuromodulators, endorphins

trigger excitatory pathways such as those that produce acetylcholine

and serotonin. Endorphins also have diuretic functions because of

their regulatory effects on salt and water balance and they influence

the stress response and temperature control. Ultimately, endorphins

influence sexual behavior, eating, drinking, grooming, locomotor

functions, and memory.

Because LDN is known to increase the body's levels of endogenous

(produced naturally) endorphins, this therapy is particularly

effective in treating disorders known as Endorphin-Deficiency states,

including infertility. LDN is suspected of improving fertility both

by stimulating endorphin production and by its beneficial effects on

immune function.

In Ireland, Dr. Phil Boyle has been using LDN as a treatment for

infertility. He published his findings at the 2006 LDN Conference. In

Europe, LDN is being used as an infertility treatment at numerous

infertility clinics.
