Healing isnt just about killing cancer its about signaling the immune system #shorts

Lets start simple. When chemotherapy kills cancer cells, those cells break apart and they spill their contents into the surrounding tissue. Think of these tiny molecules going everywhere. They're called damps. Think of the damps as these little danger signals that are turning on your immune system to find and fight the cancer in a controlled setting. These danger flags are critical. When we have too high of a dose of chemotherapy or too much radiation, you can end up with what we call a damped storm. And here's where low dose naltrexone comes in. At standard doses, let's say milligrams, it treats opioid and alcoholic dependence. But in very low doses, it behaves dramatically different. At low doses, naltrexone shows a paradoxical anti inflammatory effect, pain reduction, which cancer patients like. Most importantly, it blocks the same over response that came from the damage associated molecular patterns that were showing too much inflammatory switches being turned on.
