The general public are being educated on this channel. Dr John Campbell you really have made a difference and your work on youtube is changing many around the World. Great work.

"I don't want to prescribe medication, I help my patients get healthy with walking and eating better" 🥰 Our world needs more doctors like him. Here in Canada, I haven't seen a doctor like that in over 20 years.
The only 3 doctors I have known with comparable aptitude all retired. I was only able to enjoy their benefits a few years, sadly. Seems like the younger ones feed on a totally different pasture of profit only.
LDN can be very good for all sorts of immune diseases.I have MS and read that it can be good for MS but when i ask drs and neuros about it,they look at me in disgust as if i am out of my mind.Linda Elsegood talks a lot about it,she has MS and it did wonders for her.Big pharma do not want us knowing about it. How i wish a billionaire would put money into a trial for it. Thank you both of you for bringing LDN awareness to us. How i wish Dr Cohen was my dr 😉
@@jaktag Do you really need expensive trials ?. Be your own researcher, not with drugs but with diet and lifestyle.

If there were ever a time in history where the population needed to open their ears and minds - this is the time. Thank you doctor for your rational explanations without the assorted histrionics being displayed by mainstream media.
I think we're headed for a Golden Age. Cell phone videos and quick Internet updates mean evil can no longer hide. Here's an odd one: Scifi writer Robert Heinlein created a "future history" that made it easier to writer stories, used the same background. The last entry is "First Human Civilization" Just before that are stories about a world wide pandemic. Eerie.
I do agree, it is a shame that in mainstream media the facts are not allowed to be discussed. This is about the health of us all and I deeply believe it should be discussed openly on mainstream media not censored by pharmaceutical industry
Trouble is some are taking what appears on social media as gospel and not looking for any corroborating real evidence , allowing some like Trump to push falsehoods galore, you need to check everything. Look up MeidasTouch (lawyers) to see all the legal shenanigans Trump plays.
It's so good to see Doctor John smiling, isn't it? So often lately he's been sad and frustrated by the stuff he reports on. Take care of yourself Doctor John.
Thank you, doc. You have the friendliest audience. I think I love the people in the UK. It’s sad that our health is being taken over by money grabbers.
Low dose Naltrexone has been one of the off label meds that have been instrumental in not only saving my life with initial covid symptoms, but helping to remove/significantly reduce the paraesthesias I’ve had in my feet -one of many long covid symptoms. I’ve struggled with for almost 3 years now. Thankful for FLCCC doctors and my local doctor willing to treat long covid patients. 🇺🇸
I fasted when I got it and it was over in no time. Some of the many benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered. Fribrosis/scarring is reversed over time and telomeres are lengthened, which also helps with lung fibrosis. Fasting increases nitric oxide. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast, though if the amount is tiny you will go back into ketosis very quickly. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many medications are dangerous to take while fasting so you may have to talk to your dr. about discontinuing them during a fast. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone and helps build muscle by increasing insulin sensitivity! The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, your body always runs mainly on fat except for brief periods of very intense exercise. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and under 18 g of carb. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Thank you both! At 52, in recovery, there is nothing more i like than parking up listening to 2 great men who know what they're talking about!😁🤣 Appreciation from Wellington New Zealand..💜✌☮
Goodmorning Dr John Campbell MBE thank you for sharing this information with us. I love this discussion it is educating the public 👏. Big pharmaceutical companies are not our friend .I enjoyed your insights on repurposing drugs
The sad truth is that the medical/pharmaceutical industry is not interested in the well being of the people, but just in profits. I am convinced there are a lot more drugs that are out of patent and therefore ignored, that could perfectly be used to treat a range of conditions. Many drugs that run out of patent are replaced by "better" drugs, that only exist for the profit of the supplier, patented on flimsy evidence. We should just refuse to use new patented drugs and in most cases we would be better off.
Truly exposing big pharma for the frauds they are! They don't care. Sunlight is the best medicine. My vitamin D was in the dumpster at 13! No wonder I was sick for a month when I had covid!
It is my understanding that a lot of these new and improved drugs are only marginally better than the ones they end up replacing. Like 2-3% better at 2000-3000% higher cost because the old drugs are off patent and therefore available as generic.
Hi Vijaya, big pharma don't need to fight anything. The medical education, research and hospital regulations are all in thrall to them, so doctors are effectively kept bound and gagged. Curiosity and open minded discourse are actively discouraged. If they weren't, Dr Cohen would be able to get funding to research this simple, cheap, off-label drug that they cannot make big money out of...
I have been struggling to come to terms with a sibling who has outright accused me of deliberately infecting her at a family xmas gathering in 2021 for the past 14 months I have struggled to cope with the accusation......if not for the sanity of Dr John Campbell and his guests who talk to each other with respect....I am unable to put into words how much this channel has saved my sanity.....I really believe I would have self harmed if not for Dr John. Godbless all of you. Gary
My son who had Lymes Disease a few years ago, was prescribed LDN by a doctor who specialises in treating this disease, towards the end of his treatment, and it worked. Thank you Dr Cohen, I now understand this drug better. Incidentally our NHS doctors don't recognise Lymes easily and don't know how to treat it. Dr John Campbell, THANK YOU so much for all your videos in this corrupt and deceitful time. They are incredibly helpful.
There's a reason why they "don't recognize Lyme".. Ontario's chief medical officer Dr Keiran Moore has developed a Lyme vax (sponsored by Pfizer) and it will roll out once covid is wrapped up. This obvious conflict of interest concerned no one in this province or country. We had a pharma bought scientist directing our covid response. He will get his reward soon as this vax comes to market and our neglected Lyme patients will get their shots (Lyme isn't tested or treated properly here either, the lucky patients can afford to go to the US for that). And no one has bothered to look for any natural treatments nor enquired with Naturopaths, who have always been silenced.
I recently read something about all these autoimmune disease and some cancers are all caused by mold allergy. I'm not a doctor, or a medical student, just someone that read something. Lol But I thought it was interesting and intend to study up on it some more because my mother has fibromyalgia. It was definitely stating to take great care to make sure there is no mold in your environment, because most people that develop autoimmune disease tend to be extra sensitive to it. Also recommended eliminating as much stress as possible for your life, I'm sure by now you've noticed the effects of that. 💜 Sorry about your son not being well. As someone who loves someone who also suffers, I'm really hoping they can find and eliminate this for so many people soon. Hang in there.
@@kellysouter4381 after everything else awful they have done down there in the last few years nothing surprises me😣. Gee, they might try testing for it, DUHHHH😵💫
My partner had a severe autoimmune condition reaction from the n1h1 flu jab in 2010 , with major loss of hair and nails , as well as an extreme skin condition. LDN reversed her condition and within 12 months she made a full recovery.
Don't worry as I am fully aware and am against their vaccines and nefarious behaviour. I remember when the infected blood given to people with hemophilia was banned from Europe and the US and the pharmaceutical companies then went on knowingly to sell their supplies of contaminated blood to countries with minimal regulatory oversight.!
@@Unitedwithin1 Uk based pharma were supplying unpasteurised blood products too...on haemophiliacs and IVF clinics..our hands are not clean in that scandal..at..all...nb it's still a massive cover-up.
Please please would you both do a talk focusing on vitamins, minerals, diet and exercise, I was in such a poor state of health both physically and mentally and I've had such huge improvements by just focusing on these things. Another great talk and thanks to both... It would be nice to think that pharma wants cheap meds and healthy people but sadly this is not the case, we're just "cash cows" for pharma! Sickcare not healthcare!
I was taught by some very wise people 50 years ago that "health doesn't come from medications". Tried practicing that ever since, in the way you describe. Even refuse antibiotics and anesthetics whenever I can
Dr Cohen basically did that just recently on Dr Campbell's channel. He was speaking mainky about the importance of nutrition, which I really appreciated. Ive been a "health nut" many yrs but love to be reminded and updated on all aspects of nutritional and diy health. It was about 2 wks ago.
@@shorelined1 Yes I do know! But that was just a small part of the video which is why I asked for them to do a video "focusing" on these things and with all the ill health and depressing covid talk it'd be nice to have something we all can do to help improve our health in a positive way and getting such information from trained professionals would be great, you may be a "health nut" but many people have little idea.
In Australia, LD naltrexone is a compounded off label pharmaceutical & unfortunately quite expensive. As an over 50 male, Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis patient diagnosed in 2018, I have found LDN extremely tolerable since late 2019. I have found improvement in sleep, heat tolerance, mood, some pain relief from dysesthesia & spasticity. Also aids in alcohol intake regulation. I personally swear by it, whilst my neurologist claims LDN has no benefit. Thankyou Dr. Campbell for further confirmation (at least in my mind) of LDN's benefits.
Basically if you are fit enough to be able to walk and exercise then this drug is superfluous. Where it may or may not be of use is for those who temporally or long term cannot exercise where it seems perhaps lower doses than in normal medication seems indicated. For me though I would be wary of a drug such as this without weekly blood checks to keep an eye on liver function as there are people whose liver function is harmed. Better to use the advice of exercise where adverse effects to the liver are not an issue.
Thank you, John, for bringing Dr Cohen back again and again and allowing this caring, intelligent, deep-thinking doctor to share his observations and understanding of such important medical issues.
Hi Dr. John Campbell! This is what real doctors who care about the well-being of their patients are supposed to be doing. And this is the role of all the elders in our community - speak up so that younger generations know the truth. These discussions are empowering people to be brave and ask about medications that are cheaper and more effective and have been well tested because they are old medications that followed all the steps needed to make something relatively safer for sick people. I know that the pharma companies want to remove old medications whose patents have expired because their GOAL is to ensure people remain sick for ever so that their shareholders can PROFIT from diseases. Keep having these discussion so that people are empowered to say NO to toxic drugs and drive those disease mongers and profit mongers out of business. Great job Dr. Campbell.
More good mood 'endorfins'? ~ yes please! Many years ago I read that when we smile we make good mood 'endorfins', and that when, for no obvious reason, you put a smile on your face, for example when being (alone) at home (or where ever else) while feeling really depressed and not at all in the mood for some sort of a pre-fabricated smile, but still, by making your face smile, the muscles that pull/set the smile on one's face, then also produce nnatural, safe, gratis smile-endorfins, or good mood endorfins! I practice this precious knowledge, and it does work for me. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Dr Campbell, Dr Cohen is so down to earth. If only, all doctors were the same. Its extraordinary what we can do when people with a passion for what they are trained to do tell others of their positive experiences. Conversely we just had pandemic where doctors were told what to do by govt authorities who couldn't even spell the word doctor but could certainly see the money at whatever the health cost. Great work guys!
It IS a scandal, and patients are being abused while not receiving the healthcare they need and deserve. I have been victim of so much malpractice and unprofessional conduct that I am better off without "care" that does not care one single bit about my actual well-being. It is hard for family and friends that I am not getting regular check-ups and screening, especially since I have a number of issues including autoimmune disease. But I will never set my foot in a doctor's office or a hospital ever again unless there is a radical change. Thank you for driving that change Dr. Campbell.
I also have an auto immune disease and although I have had it for over 50 years there is no effective treatment and often times it is not recognized. Pretty much I have been given the attitude that failure for treatments to work has been my be fault and to suck it up. I hate this but it gives me hope that others speak out. Thank you.
@@lindatravis6933 Know what you mean. You are not alone. I also do believe we stand before a shift. Some of us have been contrast agents all our lives, living witnesses of systemic errors and inhuman structures. The more people see this and the more it comes to the surface, our mere survival despite everything will have served its purpose. Stay strong sister. Much love.
I understand completely. Same experiences. Not going back. Our healthcare is provided by non human narcissists. Incompetent and unethical, especially if it’s something uncommon or slightly more complex.
If only there were more doctors like Dr Campbell and Dr Cohen - our world would be a much better place. Sadly, too many doctors are in big pharma's pocket and do what is best for their bottom line instead of what is best for the patient. Thank you gentlemen for putting people over profit.
So very interesting about Naltrexone, thank you John and Dr Cohen. I noticed it listed on the updated FLCCC i-recover treatment protocol and looked it up. I remember it being written on patients' drug charts in the prn dosing section when they might go through DTs as they went through alcohol withdrawal in hospital. Your explanation of its effects was comprehensive and impressive. It sparks a lot of ideas for potential use. With regard to anxiety and depression, I wonder if it might help children/teenagers to get over their body dysmorphia, which is a mental illness, and so prevent the abominable catastrophe of hormone blockers being given and predatory mutilating surgery?
Big applause 👏 🙌 on LDN discussion! More! More! I have ME/CFS. Severe Long Covid got me in March 2020 and im still battling. But LDN made big improvements in my recovery and function as well as labs. CRP normalized from test 7 weeks prior. Brain fog lifted. No more daily crashes and naps. Feelings of wellbeing. Better sleep. I'm the one who introduced my primary to LDN. She was wowed and dumbfounded and promptly enrolled in a training on it with enthusiasm!
Great interview John and thanks too to Dr Cohen for his insight into his experience using this 'Orphan' medication. This raises the question of how many other medications are sitting gathering dust that may have other uses than for what they were originally intended for? But as he says there is no money in using these medications even if they have the capabilities to help many other illnesses. What also came through in the interview was that he treats people on an 'individual' basis which is something seriously missing in the medical world today! Thanks for the links too John. I assume that this is only available on prescription from a GP (in UK) and tbh I would imagine that most GPs nowadays probably have never heard of this medication cz there is no incentives to prescribe it! Hope you have this Dr back on again to hear more about this medication.
Casein found in animal products such as meat and dairy breaks down into Beta-Casomorphin, an opioid peptide. which binds with the opiate receptors and has a strong opiate-like effect.

They don't stop making them, they make them more and more expensive. A drug that was $25 for 30 days (Paying cash as it was not covered by insurance) fifteen years ago, is now hard to find , and $170 a month.
Sad but - I find myself trusting the good Doctor more than I trust the endless stream of different Doctors I see at my GP. I don't think I've seen the same GP twice in years & how is one supposed to build up a trust relationship when you see a different Doctor every time? Medicine has a major 'trust' issue after the authoritarianism & corporate profiteering of Covid.
This is perfect 🥰. The minute I heard, used for autoimmune, I knew where you were going. This could be a game changer with our current autoimmune issues. God is awesome the way He uses you doctors. Thank you for All you do, for continuing to speak out and stick to your oath. 🙏
Thank you so much for this interesting discussion. My thoughts turn to a possible route to use Naltrexone to reduce the need to use Ventolin (Salbutamol) to relief asthma attacks. It is encouraging to hear Dr Cohen say that he tries to avoid advising medication for his patients.
Dr Campbell what can we do to help get a trial going if any? Maybe you can use the platform to start funding for all this through donations? I think many people here would donate to multiple studies including myself even if we all donated $1...even half of us. We can make this happen! Anyone who agrees please speak up we need this.
I volunteer for your trial of Naltrexone. For years I have suffered with chronic inflammation that has baffled more than 100 physicians. The inflammation causes repetitive vertigo episodes and swollen sinuses, as well as random PMR bouts. We have finally settled on low-dose Dexamethasone as the immuno-suppression method. I would prefer to try your suggestion of immuno-modulation with Naltrexone. In your trial, I would pay for the medication myself and send reports to you. I propose my current internal medicine physician would be your contact and supervise my dosage.
A breathe of fresh air...thank you so much! I was prescribed 80/mg /day of antihistamin (Blexten ) to treat uticaria....inflammation... and ...following an anaphylaxis event...)..After a few months of that.. I felt so much sicker...?!!...Stopped working !!!.and side effects too...bouts of tachycardia...... Dr suggested...injections of something else...No Way I was doing that....Later on, I weaned myself down to a minute doseage-,... approx. 1-2 mg/day... WORKED..!.. No more rash, or angioedema..Little while after that.... quit the pills altogether .... No more ..Been 4 years now...no pills/no swelling....!!! Feelfantastik now...I can tackle the teenagers once again....thank you for listening...
Amazing insight yet again....I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism 5 years ago a product of Graves disease...I was advised to have a total thyroidectomy....my instinct told me NOT to go through with this procedure.... instead I have made healthy life choices via eating exercise and stress,which have enabled me to slowly reduce my dose of carbimazole ....this kind of information is pivotal in helping potentially millions of people with a variety of illnesses...well done guys fabulous work!!!!
It is a great shame that funding is not available for research into patent free technologies, I find this in my own work and amazing opportunities are missed as a result.
I’ve wanted to take LDN for years (8 years) and done lots of research on it but it has been such a difficult thing to get any Dr to prescribe. I’ve struggled for years with multiple chronic illnesses. It might not help me but if there’s a glimmer of improvement, I’d love to try.
Hi again wondercul teaching by 2 great men I am in Gambia. Swollen knee cannot weight bear. Awful pain. Living up country found small hut clinic wirth Gambian doctor. He prescribed Tramadol plus controlled drug predlisilone. These worked straight away. Amazingly managed to buy these drugs here in 3rd world country. Thank God for this Gambian doctir who i met in the bush thanks again you are such special souls x💕💕
Wow this was so interesting and also perfect timing! My doctor just wrote me a script for this to try and see if it help with interstitial cystitis! I’m always skeptical of any drugs but after listing to both of you talk about LDN I feel completely safe taking this and praying it helps! I love all of your videos.
Hi Stephen, yes, Prof Angus Dalgleish calls it the happy medicine. I did get wonderful dreams in technicolour and felt utter bliss on the brink of waking, so I must have had chronically low natural opiates. Sadly these effects stopped within 5 nights.
This raises the question over the utility of patents in medicine. I get the idea that developing a new medicine costs money and the company needs to turn a profit. But can't help but feel something isn't quite right with the system.
The issue now is that it is so expensive to develop and approve a new drug. This means that it is very hard to develop anything new independently, or even to simply get something approved for a new purpose. The system is also very politically biased and influenced by various "trusts" within the medical industry.
Yes, every time a doctor takes my blood my inflammation markers are way up. Mctd and Alpha 1. Definitely am going to investigate this. Seems way less harmful than what they're giving me. And what is not working for more than 3 hours. Thank you Gentlemen !
I certainly wish that the physician I had for many years had been as thoughtful as Dr. Cohen, I was so fortunate to be moved to a physician who cared enough to think of me!
Thank you again Doctor Campbell, et al for exposing the possible benefits of "foster" medications, and, sadly, exposing the NIH and big pharmaceutical companies for what they are $$$.
An orphan is one that has been abandoned. But when we find a use and a home for it, it becomes foster. I think that fits better than orphan once a new use is found. An orphan is looking for a new home, a fostered has found one.
@@WeighedWilson No it doesn't! Look up foster. It is a verb, to foster and look after something. So the doctor is the foster parent/person, not the drug. It is an orphan because it has no use. Even though it stretches the usage of the word. But the thing doesn't become a foster, the usage is fostering it.
@@thekeysman6760 according to Google: "A foster child is a minor child who has been taken into state custody and placed with a state-licensed adult, who cares for the child in place of their parent or guardian. Children often enter the foster care system as a result of an unsafe or unstable home environment, usually due to abuse or neglect."
Please Dr. Campbell, thank you so much for this channel. It's educative and useful to the ordinary man. Thank you for always inviting like-minded people to participate in your sharing. God always preserves a remnant ( those that in every field would remain true and honest), and you two, are standing out to be among those in the medical field that can be trusted.
Excellent info! Always amazed at how much we learn and more importantly presented in terms that lay people can understand. Thank you both for all that you do to educate us. God bless🙏 Please keep them coming👍
I had a Functional Medicine Dr. prescribe LDN (low dose naltrexone) for Hashimotos and Fibromyalgia. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was also diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis in the last year and had my dose increased to 6 mg. So far, so good. It has made a world of difference in my pain levels, brain fog, etc.
Dr John Campbell. Your discussion here brings to mind, the high cost of insulin and a discussion by Brian Berletic's of gene therapy research, how much cost will patients bear to stay alive. It's rather a broken system when government will not advocate for it's citizens but instead for profits, period.
Perfect timing. My doctor just prescribed a low dose of Naltrexone. I was puzzled when comparing my RX with a friend who takes 50 milligrams. Thank you for the information.
Thank you so much for this detailed discussion regarding LDN, I suffer from various autoimmune diseases & found out about the benefits of LDN a year or so ago. Unfortunately I can't tolerate steroids or other medications prescribed to me & currently living in Spain doctors here are either unaware about the benefits of low doses of this drug, or are not prepared to prescribe it. Coincidentally I'm moving back to the UK next year so I'm hoping find a doctor that would be willing to prescribe it, I know from information on line that using LDN is much more accepted in the UK by doctors.
Excellent. When you mentioned the low dose the first thing that popped into my head is the very low doses of minerals used in homeopathy. I appreciate it is a branch of alternative medicine that is very much viewed as quackery. But I have seen it help, hence my sharing this thought. Both my brother and father found low does tissue salts to be very effective at greatly reducing the symptoms of severe hay fever they both suffered from. My father was opposed to taking them but did so when he saw the positive impact it had on my brother's symptoms.
Thank you Doctors. I see a pulmonary specialist today at OSU and Im going to ask them about Naltrexone for treatment for COPD ,anxiety ,inflammation, fatigue &depression. I'm curious if this has been helpful with patients that have sleep apnea? Well, we see and I will let you know what they say. Thanks again Dr. Campbell. I know you had a video pertaining to alternative depression treatments and your studies on depression. I'm sure a lot of people have been suffering from bouts of depression&fatigue associated with several causes the past 3years, whether from the vaccine, or getting Covid&long term effects from either, not to mention the loss of loved ones, employment, and everything else associated with what everyone has had to deal with for the past 3years. Oh, and now we hear that studies show the yolks of eggs are helpful against "harmful proteins " and of course were now being told,again, that eggs are bad...I wonder if it's just coincidence that chickens are being culled&shortages of eggs now?🤔 Aren't eggs used in the process somehow of antibiotics&other meds, they say don't take if your allergic to eggs? Yes, maybe I'm just going down a rabbit whole, but... 🤔... 🤗❤️🙏
@@double2mo382 it was rescheduled for next week😒, but will definitely let you know then. In the meantime I'm going to ask my primary care doctor about it also. This sounds so promising and as a caregiver I know so many that this could benefit, myself&family members included. 🤗❤️🙏
Thank you for helping bring low dose Naltrexone out of the closet! I take 1.5mg per day for ME-CFS. It really helps some and not others which could be related to its variations in dosing.
Thanks, Dr. John, and to Dr. Michael Cohen. I was in Urology (all sorts of circulatory / metabolic / endocrine aspects, there!), but Dad was an Immunologist-Allergist, and the CNS has fascinated me from my first days as Med Student in Graz. Although these case reports are essentially anecdotal, they make me prick up my ears - the subject deserves further (controlled!) study. Financing? Perhaps the Gates Foundation could be interested, and NIH / NHS / PEI / RKI come to mind… I think it’s because the term Homœostasis is so ancient that the concept gets neglected (or worse, misused for scams), we still know far too little about the self-regulatory pathways of the human organism. Three precepts have guided me well, throughout: First, do no harm (invasive procedures are last resorts!); People are different; Help patients heal themselves.
as it happens I have Low dose Naltrexone in my cabinet (ordered from India just in case many months ago)- and because of this video I tried it the first time after watching, I am sleeping better, but most of all, I notice I can run...... my whole life I have had asthma and so made a point of Never running anywhere. I can totally run - beat my daughter - she was out of breath and I was not. This medicine appears tp be a life changer! I have only taken 1.5 mg for 3 days.
My mom suffers from chronic pain and did well a few years ago on low dose Naltrexone, but was too expensive to continue. This year the price decreased and started again a month ago. I am hopeful it will help her.
I'm on LDN (low dose Naltrexone) for my cancer through an integrative doctor who I go to in addition to my regular oncologist. Main stream treatment leaves a lot to be desired in the US, fueled by big pharma and $$$. I read the book How to starve cancer by Jane Mclelland, so following her advice on blocking cancer cells from replicating by using lots of supplements. So many of these orphan drugs can be used for cancer treatment and it's up to the patient alone to find out about them.
I have had Hashimoto's thyroiditis for over a decade. While thyroid medication, diet and lifestyle have helped with my symptoms, I find myself in a perpetual fog. I have good days and bad days, but the low mood and fatigue are my constant, loyal sidekicks. I asked my endocrinologist a couple of months ago if I can try LDN. Her eyes grew wide, and stunned, she asked why I need meds for addiction. If there is ever a study, I will be the first in line to sign up!
thanks Dr John for amazing guests, your courage, transparency and appropriate vulnerability. I hope you will find a natural healthy intervention to boost mood and well being. You deserve it. Personally my main source of this knowing my Maker and connecting with the Lover of my whole being, giving His life for me . Plus exercise , eating habits, good supplementation , being outside and laughing alot😂
Fantastic video Dr. Campbell! Top man! And your guest! (Fed up with the backward thinking Doctors/NHS!) I CANT even get my REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS from my GP! For Depression Anxiety and Chronic Pain! So this is very interesting for me! It's a DISGRACE that these things are not open well known and on the table! Same as CBD oll should be being prescribed and Psilocybin! Both for Mental health issues and physical pain! It's a DISGRACE and BIG PHARMA control that's STOPPING patients having access to these drugs that could CURE instead of poison the system and not even work! Which is that current state of affairs! Well done! I hope you get a Knighthood for your work! It's more than deserved your work over the last 3 years especially!! Cheers from London 👍🏴🇬🇧🙏
