Abstract
What is LDN? LDN is a very low-dose version of a drug used to break dependency in heroin addicts. Dr. Bihari discovered that, when used in small amounts, naltrexone blocks the natural “high” obtained via the body’s own endorphins–“feel-good” neurochemicals produced by healthy persons. Endorphins reinforce the body’s response to pain, injury, exercise and stress. They positively impact immunity and facilitate healing.
