Dr Andrew McCall qualified in Medicine in 1984 from Glasgow University where he trained as a primary care physician. He developed a broad range of skills, experience, expertise and knowledge over decades of different diseases and patient profiles. He has extensive knowledge of complementary treatments used in combination with conventional medicine. Dr McCall has retired from active practice, to develop and manage Clinic 158, a private medical clinic situated in Glasgow where patients can self-refer and book appointments with the consultants.

Dr McCall started prescribing Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) in Clinic 158 in 2004 for Autoimmune Conditions, Cancers, Chronic Pain, Women’s Health, Children’s Health, in response to patients with conditions who had inadequate responses from traditional therapies.  Since then, Clinic 158 has evolved, adapted, changed, and more than quadrupled in size, and his medical team continue to expand its patients-base in the UK and beyond.

LDN is a safe, non-toxic and inexpensive drug that helps regulate a dysfunctional immune system. It reduces pain and fights inflammation. Naltrexone, taken at the full dose of 200mg daily, has been licensed for use for the treatment of addictions since 1984. As with other repurposed drugs, naltrexone has been found to have different actions when used in lower doses than originally intended. LDN is found to be extremely useful in the treatment of many poorly managed autoimmune and oncological conditions. It is nowadays used to treat cancers, autoimmune diseases, chronic pain and mental health issues, to name a few. LDN is a pure inhibitor, so there is no narcotic effect. Treatment is constantly evolving, with new conditions and methods of treatment being shared regularly.  (References here)
