Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Dr. Boyle says"I am confident that LDN is perfectly safe in pregnancy and in certain cases will actually reduce the risk of miscarriage. W. Hilgers, M.D, of the US, who developed the fertility treatment I provide, has used high dose naltrexone...up to 100mg throughout pregnancy and during breastfeeding safely without ill effect to mother or baby since 1985. I have been prescribing LDN regularly during pregnancy [for several years] and the results have been excellent. Clinical experience has proven to me that it is safe.We've had over 50 babies whose moms have been on LDN throughout their pregnancies and those babies, if anything, have been even healthier than those whose moms haven't been on [low dose] naltrexone."The rationale Dr. Boyle provides for using LDN during pregnancy is that another doctor has used High Dose Naltrexone successfully during pregnancy. HDN upregulates or increases cell proliferation rates so it would not be surprising to find babies born to mothers on HDN would be larger and heavier, more healthy in appearance at least, than normal babies. But the effects on cell growth rate of LDN and HDN are very different, polar opposites in fact, so the rationale Dr. Boyle provides is flawed.If I were considering using LDN during pregnancy I would want to see objective data, not subjective, showing the better health of babies produced on LDN. There may be unknown deleterious long-term effects.I'd want to know, for instance, when a baby develops in an environment of slowed cell growth rate, what must its body do toovercome the impediment? Would its body become inured to its environment and develop a higher than normal cell growth rate? And what would this higher than normal rate mean later to the child when it is an adult whose immune system must fight off the establishment of cancerous cells, cancer cells being quickly-replicating cells to begin with? Would the cancers developing in adult life by these LDN babies be super cancers, replicating at rates much higher than ever previously known?If I were pregnant I would not be willing to take such risks with my unborn child.In case anyone is unaware of these effects, consider the use of HDN as a topical application to speed the rate of wound healing. Please see the attached research paper demonstrating the effect of increased cell proliferation rate with high dose naltrexone. Low dosenaltrexone, on the other hand, slows cell proliferation rate.JackieFrom: zahavi <zahavi100@...>Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] HELP!
