Dr. Amy Nett: You know what? I don’t really use Cyrex Array 5 that often, so I haven’t tracked anyone with the Cyrex Array 5 on low-dose naltrexone. I’ve used low-dose naltrexone for Hashimoto’s, for Graves’, and I’m trying to think if I’ve used it for any other autoimmune conditions where I’m tracking antibodies. I don’t, not off the top of my head that I can think of. So I’ve seen improvements in thyroid antibodies definitely using low-dose naltrexone, and I’ve seen improvements in symptoms, even where antibodies weren’t playing a factor. So, for example, I’ve seen patients with hypothyroidism. We never caught antibodies out of range, but we used low-dose naltrexone. Oh, a patient with vitiligo and hypothyroidism. We were able to decrease her thyroid medication dose, so I’ve seen improvements but not specifically on Cyrex Array 5, probably just because I haven’t used it as sort of a tracking device, though.

- I have Raynaud’s in my fingers and occasional pernio in one of my toes. My 5-year-old has mild eczema and glaucoma, which could be autoimmune in her left eye, so I experimented with egg, dairy, and nightshade elimination to begin. There is no change in the 9-year-old’s psoriasis, so we did a 90-day AIP trial. The older daughter’s psoriasis improved a teeny bit, and I am wondering what test would be most beneficial and easy/practical bearing her age in mind to get to her root cause. I would love to do a stool test, but she is pretty disgusted by the idea of collecting the sample. It’s so much easier to figure this out for clients, but when my children are concerned, I cannot see the woods for the trees. I would really appreciate your thoughts.
