I found this in the interview with Dr. Bihari today at gazorpa.com through the lowdosenaltrexone.org website...I am REALLY EXCITED about this! You all probably know this already:
Dr. Bihari: Not directly. It's more that the autoimmune diseases are beginning to
look more and more like they’re diseases of endorphin deficiency. [Inaudible] models
of all the diseases I mention that can be bred in mice, the endorphin levels are always
fifteen to twenty percent of normal compared with normal mice.
[Female Voice] How can you naturally increase endorphin levels?
Dr. Bihari: There's only three or four ways that I know. First, Naltrexone increases
them substantially, two to three hundred percent in people with low levels. Second,
aerobic exercise increases them, but not as much. If you do an hour of exercise four
or five times a week it will last three, four hours, and that's one of the reasons that
exercise helps prevent cancer. A third way, oddly, is acupuncture. Acupuncture,
especially when used in treating addicts, increases endorphin levels in the blood and the
spinal fluid. And chocolate increases it.
So...as I understand it, the recommended treatment is:
1. LDN
2. Exercise
3. Acupuncture
4. Chocolate
