I have seached the internet about this and cannot find anything that would be considered a reliable source but perhaps someone else can. Sorry.

thanks i'll share if i find anything

Do you mean naltrexone? If so then this was discussed in a thread on here about a month ago. You can read it at bit.ly/Nz3GpB but in short, there's no evidence of proper research & no evidence it works. Sorry.

Healthy wishes.

Martin

thank you for that reply. I don't need it myself at the moment but was interested for a friend. regards helena

An interesting video but it has no references to peer reviewed literature or the data he cites. If it works as a placebo then all well and good but for me personally there's no compelling evidence that LDN has any credibility for me as a patient with vasculitis. Sorry but I still think this is a rather worrying endorsement which may give false hope.

Not what you're looking for?
