Possibilities for Cancer

Cancer has been one of the most tragic illnesses mankind as faced. There is no real cure for this illness, so the only way we can get rid of the problem is to expose it to treatments that actually do a lot of damage to the body that isn't infected with cancer. Through our fight to find a cure there have been very few breakthroughs in research, however, recently many scientist have had high hopes on a drug called low-dose naltrexone or NLD.

            Although you might not expect a cancer breakthrough to come from a drug that was basically used to stop many different forms of addiction, scientist are really considering NLD to be a drug that might save many people's lives. This drug is known to attach itself onto our opioid receptors which is why is help to break addicts away from the drug. It also helps the body create more endorphins so fighting off the pain from addiction is much easier. What does this have to do with cancer though?

            The increase in endorphins is actually one of the best things that can happen when someone is fighting off a strong illness. The increase of endorphins not only gets rid of the pain aspect of the cancer but helps boost the immune system. This immune system boost seems to be doing a lot for patients who are taking this experimental drug. The endorphin boost can also help with cell regrowth so your body can recover faster than ever.

            Low-dose naltrexone is not being used as a common practice for cancer, but one day it might be one of our best solutions. This drug is currently being studied to help us further our knowledge on how much it can help people who suffer from cancer. Of course, this drug is also being monitored for other major illnesses, so it might be something to look out for in the future.
