LDN Anti-Inflamatory Effect?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Does LDN act as an anti-inflamatory?

[Guest guest]

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.

LDN (or any intervention) could be regarded as having

anti-inflammatory properties if it could mitigate a pathophysiology

that produces inflammation (e.g. LDN for rheumatoid arthritis).

The precise mechanisms of action of LDN remain unclear/at issue (as

are the pathophysiologies of diseases that have been reported to

respond to LDN). A common denominator appears to be (endorphin

mediated?) immune system regulation but other mechanisms such as

actions against-> oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, proinflammatory

factors have been hypothesized.
