First time I see someone talking about low-dose naltrexone on HN. There is a video on youtube about someone whose oral cancer was gone after taking it.

  You seem to have very low reading comprehension, nowhere did I say low-dose naltrexone cures cancer. There is a youtube video about someone whose cancer was cured using low-dose naltrexone.

    Dismissing an unseen Youtube video given no other evidence than that it is sourced from YT seems reasonable, rational even. The prior probability of a randomly selected YT video being trustworthy is probably a lot closer to 0 than 1.

        At this point you've edited this comment twice. First it was "autist", then "lol", now "This place is a meme. Prior probablity hahaahaa...". Who knows what it will be in the future. None is appropriate as a response for hacker news. Please read the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I know a number of people whose cancer was gone after drinking water. Maybe I’ll tell them to put their story on youtube too.

There are no serious claims or documentation of LDN curing cancer and that's not it's actual use. It's used to treat chronic, systemic inflammation and is one of the only "tools in the toolbox" for some very desperate people in long-term pain for years because you can't use things like corticosteroids which are destructive. There are some cases where it can reduce inflammation well enough and long enough in some people for the body to self-heal where it could not before as the damage was too severe and dysfunctional. This is a good site for layperson information or use google scholar for actual research https://ldnresearchtrust.org/what-is-low-dose-naltrexone-ldn https://ldnresearchtrust.org/what-is-low-dose-naltrexone-ldn
