Book Reviews of The Promise Of Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy: Potential Benefits in Cancer, Autoimmune, Neurological and Infectious Disorders
Book Review: An Important Book - A Long Time Coming
Summary: 5 Stars
I had intended to write a longer review of this important book but many of the points to be made have been listed in previous reviews. I can, however, add an historical context for many of the points discussed.
In the late 70's, I was a graduate student in Neuroscience working on my dissertation on the effects of chronic alcohol consumption in an animal model. As background, I was required to know what treatments were being used to treat physical dependency and naltrexone was just starting to be used to treat both opiate addiction and alcohol dependency. While naltrexone did not turn out to be especially effective in treating alcohol dependency, I heard a number of stories "on the grapevine" of unexpected and (then) unexplained effects of naltrexone. I knew a number of respected investigators who were convinced that naltrexone had, in the right circumstances, remarkable positive effects with some individuals on conditions unrelated to dependency or addiction. I was intrigued, then, when I came across this book.
The authors do not make outrageous claims for low dose naltrexone; what they do, instead, is present a substantial body of information and number of scientific studies that argue convincingly for further investigation of the use of low dose naltrexone in a variety of conditions.
Hopefully, this book will be read by both medical researchers and patients whose conditions may be improved by low dose naltrexone therapy.
