Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

[LDN_Cancer] reports that the late Dr. Bernard Bihari treated approximately 450 patients with some form of cancer, with a 60% success rate, almost all of who had failed to respond to standard treatments.

In particular, 1 patient with untreatable [by conventional medicine] carcinoid having "significant metastatic spread to numerous bones" appeared to be in remission after about 46 months of treatment with LDN.

Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of carcinoid tumor with LDN.

Please see What is Low Dose Naltrexone? for more information.
