Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

According to the Low Dose Naltrexone home page [LDN], LDN has been seen to benefit Behçet's Disease, which is considered to be an autoimmune disease. [LDN] reports that all patients with autoimmune processes whom the late Dr. Bihari [Bihari2003] treated 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]. Please see [LDN_Denise] for a video interview of a patient with Behçet's disease who has benefitted from LDN.

Dr. Weyrich has been trained to use Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of Behçet's Disease with LDN.
