Our Dr. says Naltreszone blocks receptor sites- can be bad

[writergal]

Our of our doctors phoned me this weekend to tell me that she and the infectious disease doctor on her team did not recommend using Natrexzone (sp) as it blocks the receptor sites and in case of need for surgery, etc. our son would be in horrific pain as they could not give him anything for pain.

 

She was very excited to tell me about a natural product that is 4x stronger than Celebrex and helps reduce inflammation.

 

Has anyone heard our used Anatabloc? She advised that it has no side effects and is basically natural prednisone. I have an e-mail into Dr. T (NJ) to get his opinion- but meanwhile am very curious to see if anyone is aware of this product ad have you used it on your PANDAS kid to reduce the inflammation?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

A natural prednisone with NO side effects?????

 

Please do let us know what you find out from Dr T or others.

If you use low dose naltrexone, it blocks endorphin for a very short time while your child is sleeping. This triggers the body to produce a lot of endorphin as it seeks to rectify a perceived shortage. At least that is my understanding of the theory behind ldn. I don't see how this could interfere with emergency analgesia, unless the emergency happens exactly during the time that the naltrexone is in effect.

 

But sure, if there is something that causes the effect you're looking for, w/ fewer side effects- why not use that instead?

Exactly what I'm thinking. If we can find something to reduce the inflammation with fewer side effects that is a natural prednisone- wow- sounds great. I'm hoping that Dr. T gets back to me pretty quickly with positive news to go forward.

I'd love to hear if there is anyone on the forum that has used this supplement and if they've had any success with Anatabloc. Our son is on a mixture of homeopathic supplements and his antibiotics and if we can remove some of the supplements it would be awesome - we just want to be sure it's the right thing to do. However- the doctor that phoned me about this supplement is using it on her own family and since she is the amazing doctor that helped us get a diagnosis of PANDAS I tend to listen carefully to anything she tells me.And she checked with a pediatric infectious disease doctor that works with PANDAS kids and kids on the ASD that no one else has been able to help. So hoping DR. T gets back with me fairly quickly- and just barely holding myself back from ordering it until I hear from him.

I would ask on the lyme forum, even if Lyme is not an issue for you. I think some people there may have some Low-dose Naltrexone advice for you.

 

You could PM matismom though I do not know if she is still on the forums at all. I think she may have some info about it. If she does not, I really think the lyme people may be able to help!

 

I know you are asking more about Antabloc, but ask over there about that, too--

 

 

This Antabloc is interesting- as I thought there was a whole school of thought that the alkaloids in tomatoes, for example, were inflammatory!

If it works PLEASE let us all know ASAP!
