According to the Low Dose Naltrexone home page [LDN], Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis is a neurodegenerative disease that is associated with autoimmune processes. [LDN] reports that all patients with Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis who were treated by the late Dr. Bihari [Bihari2003] using LDN "have experienced a halt in progression of their illness. In many patients there was a marked remission in signs and symptoms of the disease."
Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis with LDN.
