Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Naltrexone is not an anti-inflammatory, but works synergistically with anti-inflammatory supplements. All forms of injury or infectious disease create points of inflammation. From bumps/bruises on the arm or leg to cancer, each thing that attacks the body whether physical or germ causes inflammation. When you cut yourself, the area becomes inflamed and angiogenesis occurs as a natural reaction to the injury. With cancer, the inflammation brings on a breeding ground that allows cellular mutation to occur at an even greater rate. With a stroke, inflammation destroys brain cells first by swelling and then literally “cooking” them. Every single disease you can pick including MS, ALS, arthritis, etc… all have points of inflammation. Part of the curative process for fighting any injury or disease is to control inflammation first and foremost to prevent ancillary damage. With cancer, one of the critical things to do is knock down the inflammation to retard the growth potential of the cancerous cells. This in no way interferes with the immune system. Far from it. One of the very best things you can do for yourself is to take anti-inflammatory supplements such as feverfew, curcumin, etc… to help control the inflammation as well as taking things to boost the immune system such as LDN.

I would suggest that LDN boosts the immune system making sure that it has the power to overcome some illnesses. As far as I understand it antinflamatories suppress the immune system and therefore get rid of symptoms caused by the immune system doing it's job properly. Just an opinion.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 if you regulate your immune system, it would seem that the bad type of prostaglandin production would not occur as readily in the body because everything is in more of a state of balance. once again, just an assumption that makes physiological sense. kathy LDN Anti-Inflamatory Effect?Hi all,Does LDN act as an anti-inflamatory?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 I agree and also plenty of enzymes!!!!! When you think you've had enough, take more!!!! The turmeric has also made a great difference for me I believe. Kathy LDN Anti-Inflamatory Effect?Hi all,Does LDN act as an anti-inflamatory?
