These endorphins are able to either help boost the immune system where it is low, like in cancers or HIV; or it modulates the immune system where it is hyperreactive like in autoimmune conditions and gut issues. This means that the body now has enough of the right kind of ‘soldiers’ to target and solve health issues using its own innate intelligence. Because this is all done by your own endorphins, LDN is extremely safe. LDN has been used for a wide range of health concerns in patients with autoimmune diseases, cancers, HIV, MS, SLE, Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, amongst others.
“The turnaround with LDN has been nothing short of miraculous, and a real game changer. After 4 months, the turnaround has been dramatic. I can sleep for 9 - 11 hours, of good quality sleep (8 out of 10), and things are improving at a faster rate. Energy levels are higher, brain fog has lifted, and most dramatic of all, my mood has improved 100%. I no longer feel depressed, despite being suboptimal. I wake up happier, relaxed, and with a positive mindset, excited about the future. The key to LDN was definitely perseverance. Each stage caused initial upset, and then the reward phase followed. The big pay off being 4 months down the line. Definitely worth the wait. Without the help of Dr Bains and Harpal Clinic, I would not have made this breakthrough.”

We can provide Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) as an adjunct to your current management by your doctors. Please assume a minimum of 3 months of being on LDN before you start to notice a difference if any, although in the majority of people, this can be much sooner.
Whilst this is not strictly necessary, we prefer to work with your main doctors as LDN is still in its infancy.
Whilst this is not strictly necessary, we prefer to work alongside your main doctors. This is because, although naltrexone is a very well established and safe drug, its use in very low doses is considered off-label and so many doctors are not familiar with it. Being able to share your progress with your GP may help educate them and inspire them to guide others better in similar situations.
LDN is available in various forms:
The initial consultation costs £195 with a monthly membership fee of £72.50 thereafter. This covers the cost of your subsequent follow-ups and prescription fees and medication. As a member, the following benefits are included for the duration of the programme:
✓ A 30-minute initial consultation.
✓ A doctor’s letter outlining your LDN treatment plan and any other suggestions made during the consultation.
✓ Fifteen-minute follow-up consultations after 3 months and then every 6 months thereafter.
✓ LDN medication delivered to your door.
✓ Telephone and email support for LDN related issues.
✓ Any members-only offers pertaining to other services provided by the clinic.
