Anyone here have an autoimmune disorder??

Stumbled across this today(on a great channel for anyone wanting to keep up with hormone and other anti-aging therapies) and decided to pass it along in case anyone can use. Basically covers how low dose naltrexone is emerging as a very promising adjunct therapy for autoimmune and other disorders.












https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29885638/



Naltrexone, a non-selective antagonist of opioid receptors, is mainly used as rehabilitation therapy for discharged opiate addicts to eliminate addiction in order to maintain a normal life and prevent or reduce relapse. In recent years, there have been some novel and significant findings on the off-label usage of naltrexone.Within a specific dosage window, LDN can act as an immunomodulator in multiple autoimmune diseases and malignant tumors as well as alleviate the symptoms of some mental disorders. The results of increasing studies indicate that LDN exerts its immunoregulatory activity by binding to opioid receptors in or on immune cells and tumor cells. These new discoveries indicate that LDN may become a promising immunomodulatory agent in the therapy for cancer and many immune-related diseases. In this article, we review the pharmacological functions and mechanisms of LDN as well as its clinical therapeutic potential as revealed by our team and other researchers.

I didn't watch much of the video but have read about LDN and have wanted to try it. Sounds like good stuff. It is another one of those drugs that being cheap, around for some time and generic, doctors are reluctant to prescribe. it reminds me of ivermectin and COVID.

LDN = 0.5 mg/kg

Naltrexone for addiction is = >/=50mg

Not advocating either way but dosage is a big factor.

If you drink, and take this...might want to keep a tab on not beginning to drink more than you used to drink. It blocks the buzz, and for that reason is used to help people get off of alcohol. There can be a number of other side effects as well. I would talk it through carefully with your doctor.

I do

ruined my teenage years, and most of my early 20s... caused me to miss out on a lot of classes and cost my mother a fortune in medical bills and medication

symptoms occur way less the older I've gotten tho, so Im thankful for that.

not taking that chit in OP

probably slow healing. Same for me.

Will try stem cells (secretome as safer from own body)
