> Have you ever tried LDN (low dose naltrexone)? It causes the pituitary gland to produce more endorphins, and there's no danger of dependence. I've been taking it off and on for five years. It gives my mood a mild boost. It's good for the immune system too. Most people take it for cancer or autoimmune disorders, but some use it as an antidepressant.
Hi Hugh-
I haven't, though this sounds like a good option. Am I wrong, or isn't this usually used to prevent and/or reverse opiate use? I love the idea that it is good for the autoimmune system, as I'm highly allergic, asthmatic, and, I believe, suffering from some sort of autoimmune issue. I'll be following up on this with my internist. Is this worth bringing up to Dr. Fruitman?
Thanks!
