Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Hello Steve, I went to MS Society in London in 1988 to tell them about some treatment, they did not even finish listening to me, they said to me 'Good for you " , gave me they literature............................they are not interested in US & MS, they are interested in $$$$$ and it prestige their employment position offers!!!!! *Zora* San Trinidad West Indies *** -----Original Message----- From: Steve [mailto:steve_sarahwill@...] Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 1:33 PM low dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] RE: UK MS Society Hi If the MS Society really gave a hoot about MS'ers then I think they would be getting someone to run a trial on LDN, not merely inviting Bob ce , a retired GP with MS who prescribes LDN in the UK on private prescription, to " apply for a grant " . For heavens sake the MS Society should have people researching and investigating all claims for things that do or might help in MS. If not then I have to believe that they are funded by the drug companies, which I have believed for some time. The method by which LDN works is more plausible to a layman than how the RAB drugs work, and a s for Copaxone nobody even seems for sure how it works anyway! I take LDN. I keep to THE diet. I take THE supplements. I distrust the MS Society. I made a post on their website re diet and sunlight. I was shot down in flames by an anonymous " subscriber " within 2 minutes. Anonymous " moderator " I was sure. Don't trust anyone who offers a miracle " cure " unless its free or the person offering it has no vested interest in it. Don't trust drug companies who have huge resources for marketing and advertising and can run endless trials, they are bound to find one that shows up a positive result! I took Avonex for 5 months. I felt ill. My MS got worse. I felt depressed. I got off it and am getting better every day. Biogen make a billion US dollars worth of sales and that Avonex alone.A billion. LDN will not make anyone rich, it is out of " licence " it is not worth a drug company doing the sort of trial that is good enough for the authorities or the Society. It's a Catch 22 and we have to fight back with knowledge, communication, intuition and dogged determination that this thing can be cured. Sure if a drug company comes up with something new and convincing I will try it. If it works I will rejoice. But for now I am doing fine thanks very much. The CRAB drugs have never even been proven to slow progress to disability! And our governments (taxpayers ultimately) spend billions on them. Why? You know why! Vested interests. The politicians make money indirectly or directly from the drug companies. Fact. Best Wishes Steve, UK _________________________________________________________________ Don't just search. Find.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 You should have asked to see someone else for a second opinion.
