Hope for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Low Dose Naltrexone
Greetings!
Naltrexone is a medication approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treating drug and alcohol addiction. In very low doses, it has been found amazingly helpful in treating rheumatoid arthritis--with minimal side effects and at a price anyone can afford.

The following is a quote about LDN in the treatment of RA from Google LDN!, a book by Joseph Wouk (son of famed novelist Herman Wouk):

Two of the patients stopped LDN for several weeks because of travel. Both had an immediate exacerbation. One patient who was responding well on LDN had a mild exacerbation during a period of severe marital stress.
