How LDN Works is a subreddit I posted to Reddit.

Reddit is an open forum that helps others find answers to different types of questions by allowing Reddit community members to submit direct links. Wikipedia states that Reddit is an entertainment, social networking, and news website where community members can submit content, such as text posts or direct links, making it essentially an online bulletin board system.

On the Reddit website, the registered community users can vote submissions up or down to organize the posts and determine the page position. Every Reddit submission correlates to a subreddit. The subreddit enables Reddit readers to view organized topics.

For this article about Low Dose Naltrexone, I choose Health as my subreddit topic. Now back to the Naltrexone post: How Low Dose Naltrexone Works:

To begin to understand how Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) works it is necessary for you to know that Endorphins are body’s natural feel good opioid created naturally in the body.

Most cells in the body produce Endorphins. It is suspect that low levels of natural Endorphins and immune system disorders are associated.

When you take low dose naltrexone (usually, 3.5-5 mg) before bedtime the LDN blocks OGF receptors for a few hours. The blockage of the OGF receptor tricks the body into the release of more Endocrines. The result of elevated Endorphins is referred to as the, “rebound effect.”

Usually, the rebound effect lasts for a twenty-four hour period. However, the effects of LDN individually vary.

An individual can only utilize the “rebound effect” with the daily consumption of low dose naltrexone. The usage of a standard naltrexone dosage 50mg or the use of timed-release Naltrexone will result in the complete blockade of theOGF receptors. If the Opioid Growth Receptors become completely blocked, the “rebound effect” will not occur.

The rebound effect from Low Dose Naltrexone may be able to help people with autoimmune diseases.

The  book Honest Medicine: Effective, Time-Tested, Inexpensive Treatments for Life-Threatening Diseases by Julia E. Schopick may help you to better understand how Low Dose Naltrexone Works.
