Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist drug developed in the 1970s and
approved by the FDA in 1984 as a safe and effective treatment for
opiate and drug abuse. When used at much lower doses in an
off-label protocol referred to as low dose naltrexone (LDN), the
drug has been shown to halt disease progression in Crohn's disease
and certain cancers, including pancreatic cancer, and to reduce
symptoms in multiple sclerosis and autism. While ongoing clinical
trials are evaluating the use of LDN in treating fibromyalgia and
HIV/AIDS, it has been shown to improve numerous autoimmune and
neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson's disease and
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).Grounded in available clinical
and scientific research, this book describes the history of
naltrexone, including its potential therapeutic uses, its effects
on the immune system, and its pharmacological properties. Aiming to
acquaint readers with the potential therapeutic benefits of LDN,
the book also includes practical chapters for those interested in
its use, focusing on such topics as how the drug is administered,
information on fillers and compounding pharmacies, lists of doctors
who prescribe LDN, and available patient resources. It also
features interviews with LDN patients and several of the country's
top LDN researchers, who describe the importance of LDN in terms of
its ability to provide relief from pain, halt disease progression,
and facilitate the body's ability to heal. Finally, the work
includes a useful glossary and an appendix listing important
clinical trials completed to date, complete with researcher contact
information and a summary of the trial outcomes.
