Conference Pictures, SammyJo's Slides

[Guest guest]

Great summary notes from Larry, & Kiki!

I can add that both Drs. Gironi & Mir said in our

breakout panel on furthering clinical trials, that they feel basic

research (animal & in vitro) is still needed to determine the

mechanics of WHY ldn works, be it decreasing glutamic acid build up

(Agrawal LDN hypothesis), or increasing endorphins, or both. This is

usually the first step in research, but they are steaming ahead with

the later step, human trials, since it is already so widely used. The

basic will just have to catch up with the clinical research at some

point, in order to refine the drug and dosage and make it work better.

For background on the Agrawal LDN hypothesis interview that Rob

Lester did and then reported on at the conference, see the interview

For those of you who collaborated on the surverys at

http://LDNers.org watch for follow up on collecting case histories to

further the research effort.

The only other thing I have is snapshots from the conference, and a

BIG thank you to the the Gluck family for organizing this, and all

who attended and presented.
