Natural approach for Autoimmune Disease Management

4.5mg naltrexone at bedtime temporarily blocks opioid receptors, causing rebound endorphin production that modulates immune function. Shows benefit in MS, Crohn's, RA, fibromyalgia, and Hashimoto's.
✅ Key Benefits
📋 How to Use Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Start at 1.5mg at bedtime, increase to 4.5mg over 2 weeks. Requires compounding pharmacy prescription.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
Requires Rx. Avoid with opioid medications. May cause vivid dreams initially.
☠️ Overdose & Toxicity Risks
⚠️ What happens if taken in excess:
Standard naltrexone doses (50mg, not LDN) can cause liver damage at high doses. LDN at 4.5mg is very safe. However, taking naltrexone with opioid medications causes immediate, severe precipitated withdrawal — potentially life-threatening. May cause vivid dreams, headaches, and insomnia initially.
