LDN and endorphins?

[Guest guest]

Hello again, while we seem to be on the subject of LDN dosage and

effectiveness, can anyone produce any lab or clinical studies on low

doses of naltrexone actually showing an increase (by a factor of 2 or

3?) of endorphins and other immune regulating cells in people? It

would seem that most any immune specialist (?) or lab could do this

work without incurring great costs. How are endorphins measured? By

blood work? If so, why aren't we seeing a lot of these reports? It

should be very straight forward to take a group of patients, measure

their endorphin levels before LDN and then trying different doses of

naltrexone to again measure their endorphin levels. This should answer

a lot of questions about the correct LDN dosage. Has this been done

recently? Why is it so difficult to get solid information on this? The

only study that I know of, maybe, was done by Dr. Zagon many years ago.

As far as I know, the only person tracking LDN patients at least

semi-publicly is Dr. Bihari on the LDN website and his most recent

reporting on his patients is now, I believe, more than two years old.

I have been on LDN now for 15 months and have no idea if it does

anything for me, I just go by other peoples mostly postive reports and

hope that LDN is real. Some form of endorphin lab work reporting would

be very helpful to believe in this whole thing.
