Naturopathic, Complementary, and Alternative Treatments

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

According to the Low Dose Naltrexone home page [LDN], LDN has been seen to benefit Scleroderma, which is considered to be an autoimmune disease.

[Frech2011  🕮 ] reports a 3-case series in which LDN gave significant improvement in pruritus associated with systemic sclerosis.

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

Please see What is Low Dose Naltrexone? for more information.

Immune System Balancing

[McCulley2018, pp 28, 62, 89] reports that scleroderma may be a TH2-dominant, systemic, autoimmune disorder, and proposes an approach to treating this disease, which should be supervised by a properly trained medical professional. Dr. Weyrich has considerable interest in this topic, but has not treated any cases of scleroderma with Immune System Balancing.

Please see What is Immune System Balancing? for more information.

Neurotransmitter Balancing

Neuro Research [Hinz2015] reports that chronic diseases such as Systemic Sclerosis can be benefited by balancing neurotransmitter levels in the body.

Dr. Weyrich has been trained in neurotransmitter balancing protocols, but has not treated Systemic Sclerosis, Scleroderma, or Morphea using this technique.
