RE: Re: LDN research fund

[Guest guest]

Hi, folks! I don't know if I can be of any help, but I happen to work for a

group of academics who have extremely close ties to UPMC and CMU in

Pittsburgh. I could do some checking to see if they could put me in touch

and smooth the way to perhaps start the wheels in motion. Let me know if

anyone has any interest and I'll see what I can find out!

Thanks

Debbie

Lara, great pragmatic ideas! And very doable. There are contract

research firms avaialbe, there is an LDN trial protocol floating

around now, a few doctors sympathetic to the cause, so perhaps these

pieces can all come together and we can get rolling!

Someone asked how to go about privately setting up a research fund?

Its quite easy if you have a trustworthy person to put in charge. Set

up a webpage outlining your goals- to collect money to fund research

for the use of LDN in treating MS and other autoimmune diseases. Have

a research physician signed on -or contact Dr. Bihari for info. You

might be able to find Med students, Interns or others that would be

interested in helping conduct a clinical trial if they can publish

the results as part of their graduation requirements.Then attach a

link to Paypal on the site and send out emails (not spam) to folks

you know would donate. They can do it securely on-line. Put links on

other's webpages if they will allow it. As you gather donations,

leave the funds in the Paypal account and post a status message

periodically that will allow others to see that the money is being

held legitimately. You would not want to be accused of internet fraud

or theft by deception (my brother is a cop). Once you hit your $$

figure you then turn the funds over to the research facility, collect

the results of the clinical trials and then smuggly present these

results (hopefully published in a respectable medical journal) to the

National MS Society! It might take many months or even a couple of

years, but if you can get valid research and plop it in front of the

NMSS and make them sit up and take notice it will be worth the wait.
