Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi group, Ok, first I thought...*gulp*...I was not volunteering to write to Dr. Mercola but rather thought that if several did so, I'd be up for going to physically visit with him, seeing that my close proximity to him was a plus. I'm never all that secure in the fact that my letter writing abilities are all that great..*s*. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a shot and e-mailed him today at his www.mercola.com site. This is the letter in it's entirety and that is followed by the response that I received. I do heartily recommend that others write to him as well, might make it more convinceable? Ok, here is my letter... Hi..this message is for Dr. Mercola. I have been subcribing to your news letter for some time now and have come to really respect your ideas and philosophies. That is why I have decided to write to you to inform you of something that may seem quite remarkable and indeed it is. I am part of a group of thousands of MS and other auto-immune disorder patients. We are all part of this group because we are all lucky enough to own a computer and after doing some research online we all miracluously found a therapy that Dr. Bihari in New York has been experimenting with for maybe some 15 years now. It is called Low Dose Naltrexone and I have been taking a low dose of 4.5mg of this drug for 3 years now for my MS. I am here to tell you that it has halted any further progress of my MS, which is, by all accounts secondary progressive and I really don't have any MS issues to speak of other then some permanent damage from the pre LDN days. Many in the group feel the way I do, that you are a wonderful person to contact as many of us get the newsletter and feel that you would be receptive to such information. I live about 25 miles north of Chicago so I volunteered to write and told the group that I'd even be willing to meet with you if you would be interested. I am part of the patient panel for the first ever LDN Conference that is being held in New York this June 11th. There is so much to tell regarding this remarkable therapy and I don't want to make this a long message but please write to me and I will explain to you the urgency of getting this information out to the public at large. It is amazing just how many people would stand to gain by such information about a tiny dose of a very harmless drug. ALS, Parkinsons, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, HIV and some cancers to name just a few. You see, we are up against the huge pharmaceuticals. This medication has been in use some 20 years now so therefore there is no hope for a patent for it. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this. There are thousands of us just using it for our MS. If you go to www.remedyfind.com you will see what actual patients say about what they use and LDN/Revia is rated #1 right now. Sad thing is that if you are an MS patient you will not even hear of this remarkable treatment. Is that fair to the typical MS patient I ask? You can find info about the LDN at www.ldninfo.org that is run by the son of a childhood friend of Dr. Bihari. As a doctor yourself, surely you realize just how much one lone doctor can do in this world of big business pharmaceuticals. Well thankfully the internet has helped greatly. What we need now is more influencial people on our side to get this therapy right where it needs to be, in the hands of deserving patients. Thanks so much for listening Dr. Mercola and keep up the good work. Please write to me and let me know if you'd like for me to pay a visit to your office. I will be attending the conference because my passion these days is LDN and what it has to offer so so many people. I say, huge pharmaceutals be damned...we the people will prevail. Joyce ****************************** (full name, address and phone number deleted from original letter to protect the innocent..lol) (sorry for the length of this message but we really do need someone to champion this for us, please don't let us down). Here is their quick response. Not exactly the response that I was expecting: " Dear Subscriber, We thank you very much for the feedback. We will make sure this information is looked into and perhaps Dr. Mercola will address your question in a future newsletter article. Please note that we cannot respond to individual health and product questions. The Mercola.com Staff " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi Joyce! This retired/disabled English teacher/librarian gives your response to Mercola's staff an A plus for composition and clarity. Will try to follow up with your request for publicity. Am giving the LDN website address to everyone with writing materials. Somewhere I read/heard " Those who are supposed to get the message will receive it. Those who are not supposed to get it won't. I've taught first and second grades. Some children were eager to learn; some children were bored with new ideas. Failing the grade means " I'll see you next year! " You did a superior job in writing to Dr. Mercola. shylotz --- " Joyce F.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Good job, Joyce. I've been subscribing to the Mercola newsletter for about a year now and never thought of writing to him. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 JOYCE, YOU REALLYDID RELAY THE INFO IN A VERY ARTICULATE MANNER AND I'M SURE YOU SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON IT. THANKS FROM ALL OF US. I THINK SEVERAL OF US SHOULD DO A FOLLOW UP WITH HIM AND WHEN I DO WILL BE SURE TO STRESS THE NON TOXIC EFFECTS OF THE THERAPY. THIS SHOULD CARRY ALOT OF MERIT SINCE HE IS A NATURALIST.I WANT TO MAKE SURE HE KNOWS HOW LOW, LOW DOSE NALTREXONE REALLY IS! GOD BLESS AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS.
