Latest News as of December 2005:

Patients with MS & RA have Weak Immune Systems. Research reported in the ls

of the

N.Y. Academy of Sciences ( " Premature Immunosenescence in Rheumatoid Arthritis

and

Multiple Sclerosis Patients, " June 2005) studied immune system elements in over

130

people--60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 32 with multiple sclerosis, and

40 healthy

controls. The patients showed evidence of premature aging of the immune system,

which

the investigators state " could be a risk factor for developing autoimmune

disorders in

genetically predisposed individuals in a susceptible environment. " This report

offers

important further evidence for the correctness of the current view that LDN's

action in

halting the progression of autoimmune diseases is accomplished through

strengthening

the immune system.
