An inspiring letter for us wheelies

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, my net friend from Melbourne (Australia) sent this to

me, and im soooooooooo happy she did - Enjoy!!!!

Hi Vicki,(Friday's Other name - hehee)

I just wanted to share some progress with you. Seven weeks ago I

started going to physiotherapy twice a week. The first day they did a

lot of tests for 1 hour and noted the results. They did heaps of

balance, endurance type tests and made me walk for 6 minutes

straight. I was absolutely exhausted after it. I had to sit down

about 4 times during the 6 min walk and I didn't walk very far (40

meters). I started taking LDN the day after I started physio.

Yesterday was my last day of physio and they did all the tests again.

They could not believe it. All the tests were 100%. The things I

could do were amazing. For example, I could put one foot in front of

the other very close together, not hold on to anything and close my

eyes and stand like that for 1 minute. Keep in mind i was very close

to being in a wheelchair and the first time I tried to do that I

lasted 1 second and nearly fell over. I did not sit down once during

the 6 min walk and I walked 180 meters. I could have kept going I

wasn't tired at all.

The physiotherapists assumed it was the exercise that I had been

doing that brought me to that point but I know it was the LDN.

After my session I went to see their social worker and I told her

about the LDN. She said she knows 4 MS people who are on it. All of

them have had good results. One particular case that stood out was

from a 39 year old woman. She had been in a wheelchair for 9 years.

She was getting ready to go into a nursing home and was very

depressed. The social worker was counselling her. A specialist she

was seeing convinced her neurologist to put her on LDN. In 1 month

she got out of the wheelchair and now uses a walker. She got her

licence back and apparently drives everywhere. She also went to

America on holidays to see her internet boyfriend.

Her life has changed completely and she is now going to America to

get married and live over there. Nobody at the rehab clinic could

believe it. I thought that was such an inspirational story, I thought

you might want to hear it. That's the first story I've heard about a

wheelchair bound person taking LDN and having such results.

I really hope you are doing OK and haven't had any problems. I have

been reading all the posts on the LDN site. There are heaps! I

should have put this letter on the site but I'm not sure how to start

a new thread.

Take care, hope you are well,

Effie
