Low Dose Naltrexone [LDN] -2.

Charlie [Searoemer] posted yesterday that he uses low dose naltrexone [LDN].

Anyone else using it?

Anyone investigated LDN?

I was a member of the LDN group a long while back:

lowdosenaltrexone.org

People use LDN to boost the immune response. So, not to be used with prednisone, etc.

I posted "Low-Dose Naltrexone [LDN]." 2 months ago - has a link to a video of Dr. Bihari.

Actually, the prednisone is not used to suppress the immune system (although it does).

Zytiga reduces cortisol levels. Prednisone also reduces cortisol levels, because it has a similar structure & can be used by the body in place of cortisol. The net effect of Zytiga+prednisone is to maintain normal "cortisol" levels.

So, LDN should not interfere with Zytiga+prednisone, but perhaps the prednisone might interfere with the LDN?
