According to the Low Dose Naltrexone home page [LDN], LDN has been seen to benefit ankylosing spondylitis, which is considered to be an autoimmune disease. [LDN] reports that all patients with autoimmune processes 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. Bihari suggests a 50% to 70% overall response rate [Bihari2003].
Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of ankylosing spondylitis with LDN.
