Interferon an immunosuppressant?

[Guest guest]

The ldn community and the website refers to interferon as lowering

immunity. Huh?

Why though?

I thought interferon was simply a chemical that the body produced in

response to a viral infection. Like, when you get the flu, the body

produces interferons and that keeps the virus from reproducing. The

high temperature, aches and pains, and chills are side effects from

the presence of interferons in the body, not the flu itself. The

medical community refers to interferon treatment for ms as

immunomodulating. I have read that people don't tend to develop

colds while taking interferon treatment.

So, what's up with all the talk about ab & r drugs being

immunosuppressants? Am I missing something?

PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ANYTHING FROM www.low dose naltrexone.org! I

already went there bunch of times in the past just like everyone else

who takes LDN. I want an opinion, not a cut and paste from the mind

of Dr. Bihari.

I take LDN every night but, all this talk about interferon being an

immunosuppressant disturbs me. Its a credibility issue.

Thank You.
