286. Should I use Low Dose Naltrexone for Hashimoto’s

Why add in Low Dose Naltrexone? LDN - Naltrexone is used for opioid withdrawal or in certain cases, alcohol addiction. It will block the receptor sites so the addict will not get the high they are expecting from using. But in low doses, like really low doses, Naltrexone is found to modulate the immune system and lower autoimmune antibodies. And this is true for any autoimmune condition. Anytime I see a patient that is literally an autoimmune ball of fire, we want to incorporate LDN. This will help lower those antibodies in autoimmune cases. Of course, always weigh the pros and cons as everyone is different. Listen here in this episode as I go over all the pros and very few cons of using LDN with Hashimoto’s. Shop ALL of Dr.
