Want to know about LDN ....or should I say.. Do you want to know MORE about LDN.? By now, you should know the basics and then some if you have been reading my blogs that I've posted about the treatment
If you haven't watched anything or read anything about LDN, this is the one to watch. The doctor answers a lot of questions and talks about how the drug works. You'll understand it.

Harvard-educated Bernard Bihari, MD is interviewed about his life, and his discovery of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for autoimmune diseases: multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease; also HIV/AIDS and some cancers. This video was given to me by Dr. Bihari's widow, Jacqueline Young.
The video is below. The interviewer isn't that great cause you can't hear him to well. Despite that, the Dr. is easy to understand and follow. This is a long video (fyi), not all may be interested if you don't care about knowing how the drug works to treat different diseases . I watched the whole thing because I like such action packed videos. lol Im such a nerd!
I wanted to hear what the man had to say about his advancements that he discovered through his lifetime. He's freaking awesome. He speaks a lot about the research he was working on before he passed away which was HIV/AIDS and cancer and how LDN really is helpful with regulating the immune system . But he's talking about the body and how the endorphins in the body effect the immune system/response. He touches on the following points that you may be interested in watching
I'm glad I watched this because I have a better understanding of how the medicine works in the body and helps balance/regulate the immune system. His theory suggests that people with cancer, aids, autoimmune diseases have a lower than normal amt of endorphins in the body. Its all about increasing the body's endorphins!
11:40 - talks about the improvement in AIDS patients with taking ldn, also talks about cancer patients
16:10 - He speaks about LDN and the endorphins.
18:45 - cell death (cancer cells)caused by endorphins
**20:19 - 23:00 ** I would def watch this part. good explaining about the importance of endorphins more about how ldn works in the body (cancer patients... speaks about low endorphins and how LDN raises the level of endorphins in the body)
51:10 - the different endorphin receptors and what they effect in the body. interesting
He says around 30K-40K people take LDN.
& Here it is...LISTEN ---> 57:09 - 100:20 Touches on Autoimmune Diseases FINALLY. My undertsanding of how this works goes like this I think. - .our t-helper cells get out of wack and get impaired some how... (probably by a bacteria, that throws it off) that therefore effects our killer cells & macrophages which get confused with the self vs the bacteria/fungus. They get confused and attack own tissue/cells and not the foreign bacteria. From what he says I think the LDN enhances the functioing of the t-cells by increasing the endorphin levels, the endorphins then regulate immune response
101:13 - the amount it costs to run clinical trials for LDN for each condition. not sure if he said 15 or 50 million for the 1st 3 trials. He says that finding a drug company that would want to run the trials, work w/ FDA, ability to manufacturer , distribute and then advertise is difficult.
1:04:40 - talked about low toxicity rate... it doesn't exist. That's so bomb!, the cost (super cheap).. Those aspects are probably the main reason LDN will never get approved to treat any other condition.. There's no money to make with this medicine, what would be the incentive.... to make people better... Yeah ok!! LOL Guess doctors will just have to continue to write it as "off label use".
