Off-topic: New Film 'Sicko'

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks! I happen to like , but I would never judge

others for not liking him. There are people who will like him and

some who dislike him. It depends on what you believe in. When it

boils right down to it, people are going to believe what they want

to, regardless of who is telling the story. People who believe in

something that strongly can't be swayed that easily.

It's funny you mention the drug companies. Last year I would have

sworn up and down that the drug companies would do no harm. Nor

would my doctor. My opinion has changed dramatically. I finally saw

and heard for myself that their claims were not 100% accurate. I

finally heard from my neuro's own mouth, when I asked are these crabs

really modest at best, and she said yes. So I am with you! I would

much rather take my chances with a controversial figure than large

companies who are pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. At least

is upfront. He clearly shows what he stands for. He

also isn't harming our health short or long term.

Take Care

Hi Dee,

Thank you! *blushing*

My worst day on ldn is better than any days on copaxone and avonex.

I ended up in the er while on copaxone with high temp. chills,

anxiety and good stuff like that! I also had large bright red welts

about 4 " wide by 6 " long at injection sites. My neuro. had never

seen anyone like that.

I then tried to get into the antegren study but had alot of problems

with the iv. Then I started avonex. My hair fell out, my dental

health declined, I had 2 days of the week with flu like stuff. I

stuck with it for almost a year. I always thought I was doing the

right thing. I remember being so discouraged when the antegren did

not pan out, cause after all, I thought we were better on something.

I hated doing the needles but there again I felt I had to suck up my

fear and just do it. I told myself each shot day that I was doing

myself a favour and preventing longterm damage due to ms

exacerbations. I know wonder if I have done longterm damage by doing

the avonex.

Sorry so long! I guess I wanted to vent and let you know just how

much I agree with you!

productive, than any day I had taking Copaxone.

Hi , We all need to vent some of the time, and dealing with M.S. one could vent everyday, all of the time. In reading all of the other histories/stories. I am more convinced and grateful, that I resisted any of the ABCR drugs as long as I could. Initially, it took me a year to agree to any drug. I agreed to Novantrone, which was my miracle, at that time it was not FDA approved, yet. I took the first intravenous injection and walked out of the hospital a normal person. I had no side affects, none. At that time I had a job, which involved five to seven days out of the week of public speaking, presentations, health fairs, etc... When I went back for my next injection , 3 months later I was told the head doctor of the practice was not allowing Novantrone to be dispensed to any patient. Apparently, one patient had some

ill effects, and had to be hospitalized. I could not believe it. So after going to about five different neurologist trying to get another injection of Novantrone, a year later it was finally FDA approved. I returned to the initial doctor and was prescribed another injection of Novantrone. I knew, when I got up from the chair the treatment did not have the same affect as before. I took another Novantrone treatment one month later still no positive affect. I had extreme vertigo, and dizziness. Out of frustration I tried another Neuro, who supposedly was such an expert he was Montel's Neuro at some point. Not for long I'm sure, because he loves Copaxone, so I consented to try it for my Mom's sake. I took it about six months, I started out taking the shots every day, then every other day, then once a week, and then I stumbled upon the LDN

website. I did not need much convincing to give LDN a chance. From the first day, I felt better. (I do not know if my reaction to M.S. drugs is different because there is no history of M.S. in my family background. I am 42, and I still have all my grandparents. My grand elders live biblical years. I have some speculations of how my M.S, came about, however I won't go there now.) I personally do not care if it is ever FDA approved, because the price will sky rocket. I do want those with M.S. to know about it. Therefore, if were to mention it in his film, and be able to interview Dr, Bihari and/or any of the other Dr.s on the LDN list, the information would be invaluable to someone with M.S. Furthermore, Fahrenheit 9/11 made millions at the box office, and I would be willing to bet 'Sicko" does as well. God Bless, Dee <pomsaregreat@...> wrote:

Hi Dee,

Yes we sure do need to vent! I think in my case I feel an injustice

has been done and I have no where else to share my story. Meaning

the crab drugs. I would never tell anyone not to take them because

what if they are one of the few, that respond well to them. All I

can do is share my experiance for what its worth ;op--- That goes

with my thinking that in the end people will do what they want to

do. Same goes for ldn. I can share what I know but you can lead a

horse to water but you can't make him drink.

I use to be guilty of turning a blind eye to others telling me

about the crab drugs. Once I found the evidence for myself I changed

my tune. Guess that makes me human huh!

My cousin did novantrone and it did stablize her ms. It's too bad

they halted the use of it just as you were gaining some ground. It

sounds alot like what happened with antegren (tysibri). Course there

were 3 deaths reported. My neuro. recently told me that the tysibri

was showing a 70% reduction in exacerbations and symptoms. I read

somewhere that tysibri works with endorphins also. I forget exactly

what it said.

I wish I had of known about ldn before trying the crabs. The

longterm side effects of the crabs do scare me to a degree.

Farenheit 911 did do well and Bowling for Calombine (sp?).
