Low dose naltrexone

I've been reading about this. It says it treats cancers so can it be used if diagnosed with ET.

Consultant told me ET is a mild form of blood cancer

Hello 130396, I passed this through to Prof Harrison at Guy's Hospital and she has said that Naltrexone is not suitable for people with ET, unless you need to have it for another reason. Maz

Thanks for asking prof Harrison Maz.

I was reading about it for autoimmune hypothyroid and saw it was being used for that and it reduces inflammation too.

I saw that it stops the multiplying of cells and suddenly thought about the over production platelets.

I'm hypothyroid and always my inflammation marker ESR is high.

So I just thought it might be good for ET too.

Glad I asked here as I couldn't find any information on Internet about using with ET.

Thanks again
