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 one case report, a patient with esophageal cancer including metastatic nodes in chest and abdomen refused chemotherapy and took only low dose naltrexone; his difficulty swallowing significantly decreased over an unspecified number of months.

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

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