Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yes he did speak at last year’s LDN Conference (I’ve watched the video) – good stuff, and I am excited and pleased to see that he will be speaking at the First European LDN Conference in Glasgow.

Do you remember how, after I edited your wonderful welcome letter several years ago, we talked about doing a website focused on testimony (stories) indexed on specific health issues? I looked at that provisional site just last week. Like old times...... Meanwhile, please know that my recent LDN research has identified yet another book that you can add to your list. " Google LDN " by ph Wouk. I think he even spoke at the LDN Conference in 2008. He deals with MS. mjh LDN Short story book Posted by: " Aletha Wittmann " Aletha@... wittmann.aletha Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:26 pm (PDT) Hi MJH, I am officially collecting the stories, my friend Debra is helping me edit and work with the stories (with full permission from the writers on the final drafts), Bradley will be doing the publishing end, Cris, and many others have been instrumental in helping to collect stories etc. And this is really everyone's book in the LDN community, because it is everyone's stories. So I feel much more comfortable saying " we " . LDN would not be where it is without everyone coming together on the internet, in chat rooms and by approaching people and sharing their experiences and stories. I started my husband on LDN because I found stories from 60 people on a web page describing how LDN gave them their lives back. Common sense told me that this many people could not be wrong. Many of us would not have ventured out and pursued this avenue if we had not heard the stories and experiences from those that came before us. And we know without this drug being essentially people powered or people driven, it may never have caught the attention of so many doctors, pharmacists and researchers. It would not be where it is today without these stories. I feel it is very important to get these stories documented and in a book form that people can get off of the shelves. It can be so helpful for those suffering from an ailment to be able to relate to what someone else has been through and what things have helped them. These stories can also highlight the difficulties that patients go through when the want to try something that might be best for their own bodies. I can't tell you how many excuses doctors have given for why they can't prescribe LDN to people. They usually don't mind writing a script for expensive toxic medications, but lord have mercy if they were to prescribe this $1/a day non-toxic med that has been approved by the FDA at 50mg, and can potentially be more effective than most drugs currently being used for auto-immune diseases (this of course is my opinion). At this time we have the following books available that are specific to LDN: Bradley's book " Up the Creek with a Paddle " http://www.marybradleybooks.com/ which gives one woman's amazing journey with LDN and the many people she has helped through her advocacy of LDN. SammyJo and Elaine's 's book " The Promise Of Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy " http://www.ldners.org/ a reference for researchers, practitioners and patients who want to understand the therapeutic potential of LDN. Cris Kerr's free e-book publication " Those who suffer much, know much " http://casehealth.com.au/case/about.html features 29 case studies of people using LDN for auto-immune diseases and cancer. I believe that the LDN Short Story book would be an important addition in telling the LDN story and getting it in publication will help people to feel it is more " real " holding a bound book in their hands.
