There’s a possibility that this medication causes some of those on it to experience horrible horrible feelings, so horrible that those who experience them feel that life is not worth living! This possibility is being investigated. Email us at david.beck@customguides.net.

It’s common for males, as they get older, to have to get up 2 or 3 times a night to urinate – we’re not sure about females, but we’re making enquiries. This is often referred to as “the frequency problem.” Obviously this is a bother. But what is just as much a bother, in fact, perhaps even more so, is that often, when they get up to urinate, their urine won’t come out straight away, they can’t just urinate and get straight back to sleep again. One of our readers, in his eighties, reports that it used to be up to 30 minutes after he’d got up to urinate before his urine would come out – time which he’d filled in by working on his computer.
In relation to this, our reader’s Urologist, Urologist AAA, (who he says he regards is one of the four best doctors he’s come across,) when he was asked about this, told him that this delay problem was widely recognised amongst Urologists – they didn’t know why it was, perhaps it was something about it taking a while before the brain got working, or something like that.
But our reader reports that he no longer has this problem – that not only does he seldom have to get up during the night to urinate, but that when he does, he can urinate straight away, just the same as when he goes to urinate during the day, something which he attributes to the fact that he has been on Low Dose Naltrexone now, for more than 3 years.
As a postscript to this, our reader says that when he reported this to Urologist AAA, he showed not the slightest interest!!! – that many of his senior patients might be having to get up 2 or 3 times a night to urinate, and that when they did, that there were delays in their urine coming out, when these things could avoided, apparently being of no concern to him.
(Our reader reports that it was the same with his Ophthalmologist – when he saw him recently, he told him that his eyes had actually improved since he’d seen him the last time!!! He was amazed!!! And when the reader told him that he attributed this to his being on Low Dose Naltrexone, the Ophthalmologist said , “Perhaps I should be on Low Dose Naltrexone.” But again, our reader reports that he showed no interest when he tried to follow this up with him.)
Our reader says that he has experienced many benefits from being on Low Dose Naltrexone, but that he would gladly be on it for just this one benefit – the help it gives him with the frequency problem.
One of the things that must give the management people in the big Pharmaceutical Companies, and others, nightmares, is how incredibly little it can cost for people to be on Low Dose Naltrexone.
Eight or ten doses of LDN can be made from one 50 mg Naltrexone tablet, and 50 mg Naltrexone tablets can be bought for 2 or 3 Australian dollars each from suppliers in India!!! So people can be on it for less than 2 Australian dollars a day!!! So one can be on what has been described as the fifth greatest medical breakthrough in human history and perhaps the greatest, for less than 2 Australian dollars a day!!!
Fortunately for the people in the big Pharmaceutical Companies, their rubbishing of LDN, or something, seems to be working. We are yet to find even one doctor in the whole of Sydney, Australia, as an example, who advises on and prescribes LDN.
We keep being reminded of an email one of our readers once told us he’d got from a friend he’d gone to University with in Australia, who had gone on to be a University Professor in the US, which read – “I’m 73 now, and should have retired years ago – but here in the US, any nest eggs we’ve built up for our retirement can be gone in a flash if we have any health problems, so we all keep working. It’s a strange culture we live in.”
We would have thought, a bloody strange culture!
And of one of Albert Einstein’s sayings – “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
Why wouldn’t you keep rubbishing LDN, if you could keep selling tablets for twelve hundred dollars each, which may not be any more effective than LDN, as happens in the US.
There are two organisations that we know of that are dedicated to helping those interested in using Low Dose Naltrexone – the LDNresearchtrust and LDNscience – and they are both very useful in helping us to learn about it.
But of course, the best way to learn about it is for us to know of a person or people who can provide us with high quality answers to our questions about it as they occur.
Someone once said, “Whatever technology enables, happens.”
But what technology enables, of course, is for there to be people for whom it’s worthwhile money wise to be doing just that – providing high quality answers to our questions as they occur, for reasonable fees, of course. But, and this has fascinated us for years – it doesn’t seem be happening!
As we’ve been saying for years, “We have a dream!” – and that is of there being people we can email, they have to have an ordinary email address, who have a particular field of expertise, and who, if they can’t provide provide a high quality answer to any questions we may ask them, may be, and we emphasise, may be, able to suggest someone who can. But this just doesn’t seem to happening!
Of course, there’s JustAnswer, which claims to be in the business we’re taking about. That the Wikipedia article on it indicates that it has 150 employees, which, we assume are just occupied in directing questions to various experts, of which there may be thousands, indicates that there must be demand for this sort of thing. But there are two problems with JustAnswer.
Firstly, that they are the ones who decide who each question goes to. You want to be able to make that choice – if you find someone who provides good answers, to keep using them, and if someone hasn’t provided a very good answer, not to use them in the future.
Secondly, that before any question is answered you have to provide a deposit of five dollars, and complaints abound on the internet of the account details being provided in providing the five dollars deposit being used by JustAnswer to take money to which they’re not entitled. This is an example:-
Readers, if you have a question about Low Dose Naltrexone, use our email address to send it to us – if are able to provide a high quality answer, unlikely, but we’ll send it to you, or if we know of a person who can provide you with a high quality answer, also unlikely, we’ll let you know their details – either way we can guarantee it won’t cost you a cent.
And, if any of our readers know of anyone who’s the type of person we’re talking about, please, please, please, let us have their details so we can pass them on to all our other readers.

There are two organisations that we know of that are dedicated to helping those interested in using Low Dose Naltrexone – the LDNresearchtrust and LDNscience.
And, of course, with both of them, you can sign up to receive their news emails.
And, of course, neither of them have the huge resources offered by the big drug companies, because it’s not possible to take out patents on Low Dose Naltrexone – they both appear to be peopled by volunteers.

One could say, that it’s because there aren’t enough doctors and other health care workers who have the courage, the “guts,” who, after considering the unique aspects of the Low Dose Naltrexone story, are prepared to advise on and prescribe it, even though it doesn’t have FDA/TGA approval!!!
But perhaps that’s being unfair to individual doctors and other health care workers – perhaps they’d get into trouble if they did start advising on and prescribing it???
On 7 May, 2021, an article appeared on Fox News which to us is extremely interesting, with this headline:-
It commenced with:-
Readers, that’s what’s being alleged – that there are vested interests that don’t want the COVID-19 problem solved as quickly as possible!!!???
But, even if this is not so, we believe there are certainly vested interests, huge vested interests, which want there to be more sick people not less – the pharmaceutical companies, the private’s hospitals, perhaps other health care institutions and individuals, to name a few. Such individuals and people are horrified to think that the wide spread use of Low Dose Naltrexone could lead to there being less, perhaps substantially less, need for their services and their drugs.
Are we being too cynical? After working on these areas for more than 20 years, we are VERY cynical!
We’d love to know if any of the few doctors in Australia who are advising on and prescribing Low Dose Naltrexone have felt any “pressure” from any one?
We’ve recently become aware that a retired GP, who’s become involved in facilitating the wider use of Low Dose Naltrexone, is claiming that he’s constantly being told he could go to gaol.
And what approach is being taken by the FDA and the TGA? We can understand that their roles in protecting us, the people, from being treated with drugs that haven’t been properly tested, are highly valuable. But, perhaps, in relation to Low Dose Naltrexone, the best interests of us, the people, requires that they take a different approach?

Briefly, because we now have a situation that can be described as a Mexican stand off!
The drug Naltrexone was first discovered in about 1965.
What normally happens, when a new drug is discovered, is that one of the pharmaceutical companies takes out patents on it, then pays to have it tested extensively – which can involve millions and millions of dollars – to the point where it gets approval from the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, in the US, (the Therapeutic Goods Administration, the TGA, is the Australian equivalent,) for the treatment of certain medical conditions, and with the patents it’s taken out, the pharmaceutical company concerned can have a monopoly on the drug’s production and sale for 20 years. This happened with Naltrexone – it eventually received FDA approval for the treatment of certain addictions.
But what makes the Low Dose Naltrexone story unique is that it was only after about 1985, when all the patents on Naltrexone had expired, that it started to be discovered that taking Naltrexone in low doses, (there’s actually no such thing as Low Dose Naltrexone – the term refers to taking Naltrexone in low doses,) was extraordinarily effective in treating a whole range of medical problems, (about which more, later,) to the point where it’s been described as the fifth great medical discovery in the history of mankind, and perhaps the greatest.
So why is it not more widely known, advised on and prescribed?
Because, as we’ve said, we now have a situation that can be described as a Mexican stand off!
The FDA is not prepared to grant it’s approval unless the money is outlaid, perhaps millions and millions of dollars, to have Low Dose Naltrexone tested; the pharmaceutical companies are not prepared to outlay any money unless they can get patents, which they can no longer get because all the patents on Naltrexone have expired; and doctors and other health care workers are reluctant to prescribe medications that don’t have FDA/TGA approval.

Another Low Dose Naltrexone story, put together with one of our readers.
A comment and/or a question? Email us at info@questionsmisc.info.
As we’ve mentioned, one of our readers, a retired GP, says that, historically, there have been four really significant medical breakthroughs – Antibiotics, Antidepressants, Anti-inflammatories, and Immunization. And further, that to these four can now be added a fifth, which he says is as significant as any – Low Dose Naltrexone. And we’re getting the impression that Low Dose Naltrexone may be the most significant of them all!
It has been estimated that if everyone in Australia was on Low Dose Naltrexone, we’d need 20% less doctors – people would be consulting their doctors less often, they would be spending less time in hospital and so on and so on.
Is this the explanation for why so few doctors seem to be getting into the business of advising on and perhaps prescribing it? why it’s so hard to find one who is? Whatever the explanation, to us, the extent to which so few doctors seem to be getting into the business of advising on and perhaps prescribing it is just remarkable.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. For instance are our politicians ever going to be doing anything about the fact that LDN perhaps could be saving taxpayers billions and billions of dollars? Or perhaps whether it’s more important to them to have the doctors onside?
But whatever happens, it’s got nothing to do with the fact that the people, you and I, can be experiencing the benefits of being on LDN today, right now.
