The med is Naltrexone and LDN is Low Dose Naltrexone.
Naltrexone, at the higher doses 50 to 300mg is used as a narcotic/alcohol antagonist. In other words, it helps people get off of drugs/alcohol, by blocking endorphines
Dr Bernard Bahari, A New York Doc/Scientist, while searching for something to help Aids patients, discovered that Naltrexone, in small doses (1.75 to 5mg) not only helped some with Aids but also stopped/slowed MS progression in it's tracks.
By taking LDN sometime between 10pm and 1AM, it temporarily blocks endorphines, causing the endorphins to increase production during the wee morning hours.
