Low Dose Naltrexone
Naltrexone was originally developed for treatment for heroin addiction. It was a designer drug from a laboratory to block opioid receptors and prevent heroin from having access to them. Drug addiction specialist Dr. Bihari discovered that very small doses of Naltrexone (Low Dose Naltrexone, or LDN) promotes the release of endorphins over an extended period of time. And this rise in endorphins reduces inflammation and upregulates the immune system.
The immune modulatory effect of LDN has been used to treat many diseases associated with immune dysfunction ie.: Multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis).
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a safe, non-toxic and inexpensive drug.
Does LDN affect thyroid?
Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) may have a positive impact on thyroid health, particularly in autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's, by reducing thyroid antibodies and potentially improving thyroid function, though more research is needed.
Dr. Creighton has been trained in the field of immune dysfunction and is a LDN specialist, and uses Low Dose Naltrexone to treat diseases associated with an unregulated immune system.
