Low dose naltrexone is a massive anti-inflammatory for pain management and recovery from immune, neurological, gut / SIBO / colitis, cancer conditions, poor memory, poor concentration, balance issues, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis and more.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Provides Surprising Pain Relief. What do you know about low dose naltrexone (LDN) for pain? This drug has been around for decades and it just might help some people in pain.
LDN stimulates the immune system.
LDN makes cancer cells more sensitive to cell death.
Naltrexone was developed in the 1960s. The FDA approved it under the brand name Trexan in 1984 to treat people with opioid use disorder. Most physicians have never heard of low dose naltrexone (LDN) because the FDA has never approved this drug for pain.

Suffering from brain fog, poor memory, poor concentration and balance issues? Did you know LDN is used for these symptoms and for chronic pain, MS, cancer, multiple autoimmune diseases and more?
Among other things, LDN boosts endorphins and helps reduce inflammation. This seem to be one reason it is moderating-reducing so many disease symptoms.
...220 auto-immune conditions that can be improved through LDN, including regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, MS, Crohn's, rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 Diabetes, autism, exzema, psoriasis, asthma, and more...

...Linda Elsegood was humiliated and humbled by MS. The degenerative disease had robbed her of her dignity, as she struggled with poor bladder control, choking on her food, brain fog, pain, and balance.
... As she put it, she 'spent a good deal of time on the floor.' She became wheelchair-bound and often wondered if life was worth living. She was in such bad shape, she could only handle being on the computer for about 10 minutes a day, but she persevered, using that time to begin researching how she might regain her health. This is how she came across LDN, low dose naltrexone. Once prescribed to combat heroin and alcohol addiction, apparently it had off-label uses that were promising. She began taking it around the year 2000....Today, her health and life turned around. She has interviewed hundreds of people, with a variety of conditions, whose health has improved on LDN....
...One of the St. George's research team, Dr. Wai M. Liu, says the beauty of LDN is that it is a fantastic stimulator of the immune system and is also able to bind to certain proteins on the surface of the cancer cell. It may even enter the cell independently of these receptors.
By doing so, it makes cancer more sensitive to cell death. This allows some other remedy to directly kill the cancer cell. LDN therefore is best used as an adjuvant, in partnership with a direct cancer-killing agent. ~ CancerDefeated.com
...Dr. Zagon has shown that the immune system is regulated by endorphins which act on opiate receptors. Blocking these receptors for a short time, by using LDN, upregulates the production of endorphins. These can act as immune modulators to correct immune system over- or under-functioning.
In addition, the growth of cells can also be suppressed by endorphins. This would clearly have applications in cancer treatment.
Endorphins are not the whole picture, however. LDN also binds to another group of receptors called toll-like receptors (TLRs) which are an essential part of the innate (non-specific) immune system. This function of the immune system provides a first-line defense against microbial invasion.
By binding to TLRs, LDN suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines and NF-kB. The latter is a very potent molecule linked to the expression of cancer oncogenes. These in turn prevent cancer cells from self-destruction, leading to uncontrolled growth.
LDN has also been shown to increase natural killer cell and T lymphocyte activity, interfere with cell signaling, and increase p16 and p21 protein pathways to inhibit cancer cell division.
