Fundamentals of LDN Therapy
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has been used as an immunomodulating therapy in inflammatory disease for decades. In this webinar we will discuss the history of LDN use and its known mechanisms of action on the immune system and cancer cells. We will review the preclinical and clinical research supporting its use in chronic diseases like autoimmune conditions, neuroinflammatory conditions and cancer. We will discuss prescribing guidelines including dose titration, maintenance dosing, managing side effects and contraindications/interactions so NDs can assist in comanaging patients on this treatment. Case examples will be presented. Application has been made for 1 hour of CONO category A pharmacology credit.

Dr. Marsden ND obtained his undergraduate degree in Human Biology at the University of Toronto and graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2002. His journey to naturopathic medicine began after seeing the gaps that existed in conventional medical approaches to complex, chronic disease in family members and the prospect that integrative approaches to healthcare might offer to these challenging conditions.
