Re: RE. LDN- Focusing on Information dissemination,rather than testing

[Guest guest]

Thanks Dave,

You are right about trials. I have told many people about LDN and how it has been close to miraculous for my husband. But many people have a difficult time when they have an authority figure say it is not trialed and therefore not an acceptable treatment. It is becoming more and more obvious to me that we should get this trialed in order to help the majority of people (even if it does get much more expensive). The cost at this time is amazingly low, which we appreciate very much, but we would still choose this over the CRABS even if the cost was the same. It is just the much better choice.

LDN- Focusing on Information dissemination,rather than testingI also have been ( & still am!) sympathetic to the reservations expressed by Jan regarding calls for the testing of LDN:Furthermore, surely there are other drugs which have been accepted/adopted extensively for conditions other than their initial recognised purpose without going through the unnecessary, horribly expensive & time consuming rigmarole of further testing?! (-And I bet few of them are as free of side effects or taken in such low, safe doses as LDN!)This delaying may seem to be all very well for those for whom a major consideration in drug production is the maximising of potential profits, but for us steadily progressing patients, this unnecessary, time consuming, & seemingly endless shillyshallying around can seem about as pertinent as "Nero fiddling while Rome Burns"!Might it not be more productive to put our energy into focussing people`s minds on the already known, positive aspects of LDN usage, things like it`s efficacy, safety, ease of use & cheapness, & also to draw attention to the fact that it is already being utilized worldwide in a pragramatic, common sense response to it`s obvious value?Surely, as LDN continues to become more widely known & used, this knowledge & awareness will itself develop a growing momentum of understanding that it is the implementation of LDN`s wider usage that is now needed & appropiate?If we are already confident of LDN`s value, why should we continue to act as though we also are uncertain & need the reassurance of further esting?! -This hardly seems an attitude likely to inspire confidence in others!-It seems to me that the dissemination of info on LDN through such vehicles as Boyle Bradley`s recent book & radio interviews may very well be the most effective & immediate way to foster the widespread recognition & adoption of LDN as an important treatment for MS & many Autoimmune Disorders.Gerald----- Original Message ----- From: "rtee54" <xltrt@...>
