Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 asked: " I just don't understand why there is total silence from the pharmaceutical companies on LDN. Aren't they aware of the growing grass roots usage of LDN? " Hi . There are a lot of factors... governmental, legal, and corporate. The single most important factor is profit. Naltrexone is a generic medication. No individual company can hold exclusive marketing or manufacturing rights to Naltrexone. This means that no company can make big profits from Naltrexone. It doesn't matter how beneficial any medication might be, the pharmaceutical companies are not in business to help humanity. They are in business for profit. In order to manufacture and market LDN for MS, they would have to do clinical trials to get FDA approval. Clinical trials are very expensive, and no company is going to fund such trials with so little hope of big profit. Hope this helps clarify a little.
