Baclofen blocks opioid receptors - Dr Skip in particular any comments please?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had this forwarded to me by a friend in the US who takes LDN and

runs a group for people who take or are contemplating taking

LDN for our disease (PLS = primary lateral sclerosis, a form of

motor neurone disease and little brother to ALS).

"Hi ,

This apparently has been known for some time. The link below was

a study done by the National Institute of Health in the USA and

was done in 2002-3, but the theory they present is at least a

decade old.

Perhaps LDB (low dose baclofen) would be just as good as LDN?

Makes me wonder how LDN can work for people who take baclofen.

Any comments or insight would be appreciated.

If indeed Baclofen

blocks opioid receptors it makes me also wonder given LDN

is only to be taken once per day/night whether people also

taking Baclofen are sabotaging the benefits of LDN. I'm

therefore very interested in comments from people much

more knowledgeable than myself, particularly people like

Dr Skip. Many people with PLS take Baclofen as one of the

primary symptoms is spasticity.

Cheers,
