Re: Uh-Oh! Think I need some opinions here! And the verdict is.....

You asked for opinions, here's one. Mentioned it before, and
will do it again.

Ya know, there is a movement towards considering off-label
use of a drug known as Low-Dose Naltrexone. Many people
are using it, many are considering it, and many are appalled
that it would even be contemplated for immune system
dysfunction. Such as for an upcoming trial for Lupus. One
of those calls herself Squirrely.

And I make no claims for it, because I don't use it. So you can
see that I don't really care if you decide to investigate it, or
ignore it. Your choice.

It has been shown to help people with the worst form of Multiple
Sclerosis, a recent study showed it help many Crohn's patients
have full remission, and it has considerably helped people with
AIDS, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and others.
But it is not a cure. It just seems to help the body direct its
immune processes more appropriately. To differentiate "Self"
from "Nonself". Stop the product, the conditions are still there.

Is it going to have massive documentation of efficacy? Nope.

Because it's a smaller dose of something that went out of
patent protection years ago, pharmaceutical companies
cannot get anything from doing studies, and the studies
that are being done are paid for by donations, including one
in Mali.

But if I or my mother had Rheumatoid Arthritis, I already
know two doctors locally that are very comfortable about
prescribing it.

This is not something involving going to Mexico for apricot
pits, it's a legitimate alternative to the immune system
suppression that is now seen as legitimate protocol.

But I suggest simply that you read about it, even if for
only being aware of it. Because it is going to be the
very rare doctor, and there are some, that will even
mention it. The doctor that started this is in New York,
has considerable credentials, and has been comfortably
prescribing it for over 20 years. He's decided, Squirrely
has decided, I invite you to look at it. You might even
read about the International LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)
Conferences that have been being held.

And consider that there may be a legitimate alternative
to your current treatment protocol. You might even run
less risk of cancer in the process.
