We talked about Dr Berkson’s use of low dose naltrexone and alpha-lipoic acid to treat autoimmune diseases and some cancers in a previous post, and the credit for integrating the two protocols undoubtedly goes to Dr Berkson. https:\/\/thatcrazypharmacist.com\/?p=446<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, I don’t think I did justice to the use of low dose naltrexone by itself for the treatment of cancers and many different maladies and autoimmune disorders – or to the person who is credited with the discovery of the utility of low dose naltrexone – Dr Bernard Bihari, MD.<\/p>\n

As far as I can tell, the\u00a0gold standard web site on this topic is\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/ldninfo.org\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/em><\/p>\n

I won’t even try to provide the information and links you can find there. In fact, I’m still clicking and reading what is posted there myself.<\/p>\n

You can read an interview with Dr Bihari at this web address – http:\/\/www.lowdosenaltrexone.org\/gazorpa\/interview.html<\/span><\/a>\u00a0. There is some other useful information at this site.<\/p>\n

I’m simply acting as a data integrator and provider in this post. In addition to the sites I’ve provided there are numerous sites discussing the utility of this treatment strategy for specific illnesses. Just do a web search and settle in for some facinating reading.<\/p>\n

I am not an expert in any way, but\u00a0I have developed a strong belief that low dose naltrexone is quite probably a valuable therapy that might work for some autoimmune and cancer patients. At the very least, it’s a treatment that appears to carry very little risk, is easy to try, and is extremely low cost – especially if you can get a pharmacist to teach you how to make your own capsules.<\/p>\n

(Don’t try to make the capsules for yourself without some training. Uniformity of capsule content and dose per capsule is critically important for this application. If you screw it up the protocol won’t work. That said, it’s not hard to make the doses, you just need someone to show you how a pharmacist would do it.)<\/p>\n

The major side effect that I’ve personally observed is sleep disruption or insomnia. I assure you this side effect is very real for some people.<\/p>\n

As always, talk about this option with your Physician and educate him\/her using the materials you can get to from this site to convince her\/him to help you give it a try. Don’t start a new medicine\u00a0or change your medication regimen without talking it over with your physician.<\/p>\n

I’m a Pharmacist providing you information you might find useful. Your Physician is the person you must rely upon for deciding whether this information is applicable to you or not.<\/p>\n

Heck, we all know I’m crazy as a loon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
