Re: [lowdosenaltrexone] Re: Special Notice: Wikipedia Article on LDN in Need of Maintenance

[Guest guest]

what wikip states is correct

 

for the amount of people that ldn has helped there are the silent ones that it

has not, percentages unknown, ldn is not for everyone

 

with regard to depression, ldn may diminish depression and anxiety and improve

quality of life due to 'feel good factor' ie holistic approach

 

ldn's variability in terms of dose requirements, ie ms for example, what suits

one may not suit another, has there been trials and studies

 

until there is randomised, double blind, placebo controlled studies i feel

wikipedia have got it right

 

i started ldn 02 dece last year and not seen any significant improvement or

halting of my ms but will continues to take 3mg after breakfast and access after

one year

 

my doc states that ldn is a stand-alone treatment, yet there are others that say

it is not

 

a little knowledge is a dangerous thing but its good to 'talk'

 

regards/peter

May I suggest we need a link saved on this site, that is written as we would

like it, with strong references.  This way it can be simply copied and then

pasted into Wikipedia by any of us members. Surely we members, through group

support, could then beat this guy at his editing game.

Sincerely,

their research.

maintained to be factual, fair, and balanced, and that the reference links

provided with the article include a wide array of sources of information

regarding LDN -- not only skeptical sources, but also articles and websites that

highlight the research done on LDN (including -- just published this week! --

two new articles on the use of LDN for HIV and AIDS) and the broad potential of

LDN.
