Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I may ruffle some feathers here but I challenge all of you to do something to get funding for LDN research rather than just Moan and Groan about how no one will fund it because there isn’t a big buck reward. I honestly believe that there are enough people in the MS Society who believe in what they’re doing that if they are given enough pressure to fund LDN research, they’ll have to take notice. But this will take some effort on our part. We all have to write to the NMSS and just say something like “please fund research into the efficacy of Low Dose Naltrexone as a treatment for MS. I realize that your official stance is that anything that ‘boosts’ the immune system is bad for MS but the doctors involved with LDN believe that by improving the function of the immune system it better differentiates ‘self’ from ‘non-self’. I urge you to fund a study of Low Dose Naltrexone rather than rejecting it out of hand.” I think this is super important. Sure anyone who has MS and knows about LDN and has a doctor who is willing to prescribe it and/or is brave enough to try it on their own can get it, but that’s a pretty weak excuse not to write a letter to the NMSS. You bet if they get 100s or even 1000s of letters they will take notice. That will help many more people than the current situation does.
