[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, 5 patients with multiple myeloma appeared to be in remission. In one case, the patient failed conventional chemotherapy, and bone marrow biopsy showed 20% replacement of normal marrow with myeloma cells. After starting LDN, "there was a gradual normalization of all of his blood counts, as well as a drop in his abnormal serum proteins from 12.6 to a normal level of 1.4. Bone scans showed continued slow healing of affected bones, and two bone marrow biopsies showed no sign of myeloma." The patient was lost to follow-up after 5 years.
Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of multiple myeloma with LDN.
Please see What is Low Dose Naltrexone? for more information.
