🙂 Shortly after I was diagnosed a friend recommended I try this, but in the U.K. it isn’t readily available and often needs a private prescription. So as I was uncertain of an exact diagnosis, I didn’t pursue it.
How Naltrexone works
As an opiate antagonist, naltrexone is thought to inhibit endorphins – the body’s natural painkiller. It is believed that by inhibiting endorphins, the body reacts by producing more. This increase in endorphins reduces pain and increases a sense of wellbeing.
Once the LDN has been processed by the body, the elevated endorphins produced as a result can now act together with the receptors and assist in regulating cell growth and immunity (3).
