Re: LDN: Possibility of Pharma co. research - to Cinders/Group

[Guest guest]

I understand your frustration in trying to get the docs to RX LDN

and support its use publicly. The good thing is, at worst, Dr.

Bihari will RX it if your local nueros won't. However, in time,

with the noise level increasing, LDN will be accepted as a safe and

hopefully very effective alternative that will get little

resistance. Docs in this country are just beginning to hear about

it, but my feelings are that LDN is starting to spread like

wildfire. Two big reasons docs are resistant now is that #1 many

have been burned in the past by patients wanting to try something a

little unconventional only to be sued for millions when things don't

go as expected. Because of the lawsuit happy " its not my fault "

society we live in docs are much more reluctant to take even what

seems to be a small risk. #2 to add to that, they are also

creatures of habit and even getting them to try a new and " better "

drug that has been approved for an illness or disease takes an army

of drug reps. since most do not like to change their habits or what

they have become comfortable with. It is interesting to note that

many of you sound just like a frustrated drug rep. who is convinced

there drug is the best but can't seem to get docs to RX it. Welcome

to my world! LOL.. I've been told hundreds of times by docs that

they won't change their habits, but over time they do if you believe

in what you have and present them with credible facts. We are at the

beginning of a long hard fight, but have faith, keep making noise.

Nothing worth doing is easy.
