Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Excellent Jayne - very well written ! ! ! Based on my first impression ... a couple of suggestions are offered for consideration ... (1) As everyone gets quite a lot of emails, and I anticipate celebrities get quite a few more than that (grin), maybe the opening paragraph should summarise? (2) ' ... but trials need to be done for it to be proven safe in low doses (LDN). ... ' Naltrexone has been trialled and proven safe at standard 50mg dose, so maybe ' ... trials need to be done so low dose naltrexone (LDN) can be proven (or maybe recognized?) as a safe and effective treatment option ... ' Kind regards, Cris 17a. Raising Awareness - Swayze Posted by: " chelsea123dog " jaynecrocker@... chelsea123dog Date: Tue Feb 10, 2009 7:21 am ((PST)) Swayze has written to Congress in the US asking for $10bn. It was posted in the Washington Post. I have contacted Swayze with the below - I am sure I am opening myself up to unleashing a can of worms here, but if there's anything I've said that you would say differently or add, please do let me know so we can use it for future communications. Constructive criticism most welcome......... Dear , I am a British citizen living in the UK and I would like to pass on my deepest sympathy to you suffering from this awful disease. My mother passed away from brain cancer 4 years ago (primary being lung). I worked in the entertainment industry in London many years ago, starting with MAM Agency (Music and Management), which then got taken over by a record company. Barry Clayman then started his own promotions company (BCC) where I worked before joining KRK Management (music management who's now moved to the USA). I have to wonder if you have looked into the drug LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone). There are a number of people around the world whom are taking LDN with great success. LDN is a drug that is credited with helping those with Cancer, HIV/Aids, MS, Fibromyalgia, Chron's, Parkinsons, Rheumatoid Arthritis, autoimmune diseases and central nervous system disorders by boosting the endorphins. In case you are not aware of the impact LDN is having on cancer in the large number of cases in which it has been used, I can summarise. 70% of people with cancer who have taken LDN have experienced remission and about half of them have managed to lose the tumours and metastaces. This occurs in response to the hugely increased endorphin and met-enkephalin levels induced by taking a very low dose of Naltrexone before bedtime. As we all know, autoimmune diseases are a result of an under-active immune system by showing low beta-endorphin levels. Endorphins are what regulate the immune system. When you raise the endorphin level, disease progression starts to slow and can come to a complete halt in many. LDN raises endorphin levels. Essentially, taking LDN `tricks' the body into producing higher levels of endorphins - and the increase in endorphins helps our immune systems function better in numerous ways . beginning with feeling better, then reducing inflammation, which in turn reduces cell damage and pain etc. Researchers isolated the T-cells and found that most of the receptors on the cells of the immune system - the B-cells, T-cells, thymus cells and so forth - are endorphin receptors. Over 90% of the receptors on all immune cells of our bodies are endorphin receptors. These cells are like an endorphin-coding apparatus. Here's another way of saying it: the endorphins are the fuel for the proper functioning of our immune system. Without endophins, the B-cells don't work, the T-cells don't work and eventually our immune system starts misbehaving. With your celebrity status I know you have many contacts in the medical profession - please do ask them about Low Dose Naltrexone. Naltrexone is a legally prescribed drug in high doses (HDN) - used for treating alcoholics and drug addicts, but trials need to be done for it to be proven safe in low doses (LDN). It is not toxic like other drugs that is being offered to cancer patients and there are about 50,000+ worldwide using this drug. For more information, please look into the below website:- www.low dose naltrexone.org Lots have difficulty getting their GPs to prescribe LDN due to the lack of knowledge about this drug (although it's been around since the 1980s). We are trying to get the UK Govt to get this drug into clinical trials (as I believe our cousins in the USA are) and have a petition on the No 10 Downing Street with the support from my local MP in the UK Crabb. As well as being effective it is cheap, costing less than $1 / day and could save the Govt vast sums of money. For example, my partner has Secondary Progressive MS, and the beta interferon injections he was taking cost the UK NHS $10,000+ / year. LDN would cost under $400 / year - that's for one person. Multiply that by the number of people being treated with all sorts of expensive toxic drugs (which doesn't cure the problem, just disguises the symptoms) and you'll soon add up the amount of money and more importantly the number of lives we could save. We have therefore urged the Govt to fund a trial of LDN on the NHS so that everyone can reap the benefits of this drug. Because of the lack of interest by the normal bodies who conduct trials - the drug companies - without political intervention, we will probably never see this drug trialled. Therefore we need all the help we can get in this matter to overcome the apathy which is standing in the way. I do hope you will look into this for your own benefit as well as many others I am sure you know of many people who suffer from an illness that LDN could be of great benefit to them. There have been four LDN annual conferences and the next one is being held here in the UK (Glasgow, Scotland) on April 25th. Rumour has it you were in Scotland the other week, but that was just a rumour! Please do take the time to look into this and I wish you all the best of health in the future.
