Low-Dose Naltrexone: A Potential ‘Wonder Drug’ Held Back by Costly Trials

An affordable medication, often overlooked in mainstream medicine, '"offers hope" in alleviating chronic pain and autoimmune disorders. Some studies even indicate that up to 65 percent of patients report significant relief after use. As advocates push for broader recognition, the question remains: Is this affordable, underutilized drug a breakthrough or merely a temporary fix? ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Vibrant Beet Hummus
This festive hummus gets its brilliant pink hue from nutrient-packed beets, adding a vibrant twist to the classic chickpea dip. Beets are an excellent source of fiber, folate, manganese and betalains - powerful antioxidants that give beets their color and have been linked to anti-inflammatory benefits.

Health Highlights:
• Beets provide nitrates that help dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow
• Chickpeas are high in fiber, low-glycemic carbohydrates and offer some protein to keep you satisfied
• Tahini (sesame seed paste) contributes healthy fats and is rich in calcium
• Lemon juice lends a bright tang and a dose of vitamin C
