Works for Me: Low-Dose Naltrexone Stopped My Cold Sores

I used to get cold sores every other month or so, whenever I was under a lot of stress. After reading about low-dose naltrexone, I got a prescription for its overall immune benefits. Much to my surprise, my cold sores completely went away. I haven’t had a single outbreak in two years! — D.G., Newport Beach, CA

Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) is a safe, inexpensive drug that has powerful effects on the immune system. In addition to successfully treating cold sores, shingles, and other infections, LDN is an excellent therapy for multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders, as well as many types of cancer.

Be aware that LDN does require a prescription. It may take some work convincing your doctor, because this is an “off-label” use of an approved drug—but its long track record of benefits makes it worth the effort. Visit lowdosenaltrexone.org to learn more about LDN, and peruse the Internet. — JW
