What is Naltrexone?
Naltrexone in a 50 mg dose has been around since 1984. Its purpose at 50 mg is to block your opioid receptors which block the effects of heroin and opium, thus helping addicts.
In 1985, the benefits of low dose Naltrexone was discovered. Dr. Bernard Bihari found that when a low dose was taken at bedtime, people with HIV greatly benefited. It was found that the optimal adult dosage is 4.5 mg.
Approximately 5 years later, Dr. Bihari found Low Dose Naltrexone benefited and/or showed immediate control of some cancers (lymphoma, pancreatic cancer) as well as autoimmune diseases like lupus.
Why does Low Dose Naltrexone work?
To avoid the TL;DR that we all dislike, the nutshell version is simple:
-LDN boosts the immune system, activating your body's own natural defenses.
Bottom Line...
-LDN has the ability to correct the endorphin and enkephalin deficiencies, boost the immune system, and fight inflammation related to diseases.
The following is why you NEED to know about Low Dose Naltrexone.
Which diseases has LDN been beneficial for?
Cancers
- Bladder Cancer, Breast Cancer, Carcinoid, Colon & Rectal Cancer, Glioblastoma, Liver Cancer, Lung Cancer (Non-Small Cell), Lymphocytic Leukemia (chronic), Lymphoma (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's), Malignant Melanoma, Multiple Myeloma, Neuroblastoma, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Prostate Cancer (untreated), Renal Cell Carcinoma, Throat Cancer, Uterine Cancer
Other Diseases
- Common Colds (URI’s), Emphysema (COPD), HIV/AIDS, Depression (Major; and Bipolar), Lyme Disease (LATE Stage)
Autoimmune
Neurodegenerative:
- ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Alzheimer's Disease, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's Disease, Post-Polio Syndrome, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Transverse Myelitis
Other Autoimmune Diseases:
- Ankylosing Spondylitis, Behcet's Disease, Celiac Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, CREST syndrome, Crohn's Disease, Dermatomyositis, Dystonia, Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Myasthenia Gravis (MG), Nephrotic Syndrome, Pemphigoid, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sarcoidosis, Scleroderma, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), Systemic Lupus (SLE), Ulcerative Colitis, Wegener's Granulomatosis
How can one medication have such an impact on such a wide range of disorders?
All the diseases listed above all share one thing: the immune system plays a central role.
Research has found opioid receptors in many types of cancer including:
Brain tumors (both astrocytoma and glioblastoma)
Breast cancer
Endometrial cancer
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Myeloid leukemia
Lung cancer (both small cell and non-small cell)
Neuroblastoma and others...
Where can you get Low Dose Naltrexone?
Naltrexone is a prescription drug that should be filled by a compounding pharmacist. This would ensure purity with no filler. I recommend getting Low Dose Naltrexone from a naturalpath doctor as I have found Western doctors do not know about Low Dose Naltrexone.
Conclusion
Low Dose Naltrexone has little to no side effects. In fact, it is proven to be very beneficial and/or provide immediate control of many diseases. I personally recommend the combination of Low Dose Naltrexone and if you don't mind needles, High Dose Vitamin C by IV.
I hope you enjoyed my post.

Naltrexone belongs to a class of drugs known as opiate antagonists. Thank you for information.

In another article https://www.giantbomb.com/profile/archangelsaf/blog/naltrexone-method-of-use-and-contraindications/153311/ I read that this drug is an excellent anti-alcohol drug. Its use significantly reduced the number of drinks and breakdowns.

Agreed, and that is what the drug was created for (anti-alcohol) at 55 mg. It was years later the benefits of LDN at 4.5mg became known.

You would like Rochester, MN, where I grew up. It's home to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, and there are many presentations on medical themes. Most are for the medical staff, but not all.
Because it's a research hospital, it draws in people from all over the world. The late King Hussein of Jordan used to visit frequently. More interestingly, the Dalai Lama occasionally visits and gives talks. Those are almost always just for clinic staff, though.

Interesting, is Naltrexone an natural medecine or chemical, its always nice to get to know new treatments, i like to use natural cures and eat vitamines and mineral, and i think it helps.

Naltrexone is a chemical that is prescribed more and more by natural path doctors as it is one of those odd drugs that have such an impact with little to no side effects. I do agree with you that I too like the use of natural cures, BUT when you are suffering from a serious disease and the natural stuff doesn't help....this one may. Appreciate your comments :)

I agree that a combination off both natural cures and chemical is needed in some cases.
Im sure some chemical medecine als can do good.

Thanks for sharing ... it is always important to have knowledge of what is available and then for one to look into possible options/alternatives - depending on one's disorder & in consultation with treating doctor.

Thanks for sharing this. It seems there may be some benefit of low dose naltrexone in inflammatory and pain disorders based on small studies. While I do not think all the data is in about its efficacy I do think that in some instances it would not be harmful and may provide some benefit over placebo in these difficult conditions.
I'd likely recommend patients see a pain specialist or rheumatologist for consideration as these specialties are likely best equipped to manage this therapy at this early stage.

Not quite sure how it works ie the presumed process of action is not quite clear. I don't understand how pain receptors modulate cancers.

Fascinating. Thanks for this post.
I'll be looking more into this, as I have a number of friends and family members who may benefit.

I really don't think you should tell people to take an opiate receptor antagonist without providing any sources to back up your claims, or providing any evidence that you are an expert in this area.
Steem community, please consult your doctor before doing anything you read on here

I appreciate you looking at my post BUT you really should have read it. If you had, you would know I stated this is a prescription drug. A prescription drug has to be prescribed by a doctor. Sorry, that I did not meet your standards with my post.
