Conference offers hope for people with MS.

The European LDN Conference will be held in Glasgow on 24th April 2010.

People

with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and others suffering with a range of often

debilitating inflammatory conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

and Fibromyalgia, will take heart from advances in treatment for their

conditions, and will follow events at The 2nd European LDN Conference

with interest. Taking place in Glasgow on 24th April, 2010 at

the Thistle Hotel in Cambridge Street, The 2010 European LDN conference

is again organised by Dr Tom Gilhooly of the Essential Health Clinic in

Glasgow with support from Elsegood and the LDN Research Trust.

According to Dr Gilhooly, “Following the success of last year’s

inaugural conference, we are returning to Glasgow. There have been a

number of important developments in the past year and this year’s

conference is set to be a landmark event.†The conference is sponsored

and supported online by BIG ON Glasgow.LDN – Low Dose

Naltrexone – was initially developed as a treatment in the United

States in the 1980s. Working with opiate addicted patients, it was

realised that in low doses, Naltrexone could actually be used to

increase endorphin levels, effective in the treatment of MS. It was

first used as a treatment for MS in 1985. As an MS sufferer,

Elsegood spent two years bed-bound until treatment with LDN

enabled her to regain the use of her motor skills. She set up the

charity LDN Research Trust with the aim of increasing awareness and to

raise funds for clinical trials. The LDN Research Trust has a database

of over 3,000 people using LDN treatments in the UK. As one of

the small number of practices administering LDN in the UK, Dr Gilhooly

and his fellow GPs at The Essential Health Clinic are hoping to raise

the profile of LDN. Dr Gilhooly comments "LDN treatment can aid a

better quality of life for both long-term sufferers and those newly

diagnosed. I hope the conference will result in many more patients

becoming aware that this could be a treatment for them." The

conference will attract leading medical professionals and patients

interested in the use of LDN in several conditions including Multiple

Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, Crohn’s Disease,

IBS, Parkinson’s Disease and Autism among others. Dr Jarred Younger of

Stanford University will present some of his exciting findings on the

use of LDN in Fibromyalgia and will highlight several patient

testimonies on the subject.The conference will also look at the

relationship between LDN and CCSVI, the new vascular disorder causing

much excitement in the world of MS. Where CCSVI fits in with LDN in the

treatment of MS and other auto-immune disorders will be the centre of

discussion and debate.The conference website www.bigonldn2010.com

contains the agenda, registration form, venue details plus more

information, news and videos on LDN. BIG ON Glasgow will film and post

the conference oline. The website also offers the opportunity to join

BIG ON LDN forums.
