Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I know of two Drs in the UK who have submitted applications for trials for LDN with the MS Society and both got turned down – what was submitted didn’t meet their criteria. Now they have changed their goalposts and will only support research applications from academic institutions. This happened once LDN started getting a lot of media awareness. Odd that?!

As a person who will no longer donate to the MS Society, I do understand a part of the problem. They can support only those proposals sent to them. As far as I can see, nobody has proposed a trial that is in the realm that they can support financially. It is hard to bitch about being turned down if we have never asked, right? I might be wrong in this and they have refused funding to a valid test, but I have not heard about that. If we want the MS Society to support testing for LDN, we have to send them a test in the proper format. Is there a way to do this? Can we do some brain storming on it? Then if they turn it down, we can raise heck over that too. " Any publicity is good publicity.

They continue to stick their head in the ground about LDN, CCSVI and diet and anything that might help us besides letting us inject our bodys with harmful expensive drugs that make us sicker than better. > > Now the question of the day is. How do we the sick people take control of the ms society and run it for the patients and not for the big pharma companies?

We should not have to go to Poland or elesewhere to have CCSVI done or fight with our doctors to get on LDN.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I was under the impression that almost all the "research societies" such as American Cancer Society or MS Society were under the influence of big pharma, which would explain why they would have no interest in something that promotes no profits for them. Please advise if I am incorrect.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 In my opinion it also applies to arthritis charities. When I asked one why they didn't discuss LDN they said it hadn't been approved so its inclusion would be against their guidelines. As it is their message is stay cheerful, eat properly, exercise, buy gadgets to help in the house and do what your doctor tells you to.The idea that LDN can help is of no interest to them whatever.MargaretFrom: Debbie Del Priore <Delp4all@...>n Van Til <mvantil@...>Cc: "low dose naltrexone " <low dose naltrexone >Sent: Mon, April 5, 2010 5:20:20 PMSubject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Hostile Take over time.
