Re Subject: Has Anyone Tried

[Guest guest]

It has been reported here that the Sate of Vermont has requested the US MS Society and the FDA conduct trials on LDN for MS. The UK MS Society has turned down a request by the LDN Research Trust. Our Government has also issue a damming report on drug industry influence on charities, doctors and the like. 'The Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry'

This has been publicised very little in the media and it is very difficult to determine if the few things that are happening are window dressing for business as usual or anything will happen to try to get orthodox medicine to move from drug sales is all that counts -to trying to fix illness.

Subject: Has Anyone TriedI was just looking at the NMSS (National Multiple Sclerosis Society) web site and saw the following:"The National Multiple Sclerosis Society provides funds for limited short-term support of research in areas where preliminary data are scant or nonexistent. This program is designed to support unique or novel ideas with the potential to open significant new areas of research on multiple sclerosis. Projects that are simply extensions of on-going research or that already have ample supporting data will not be considered." I agree that no drug company is going to undertake an FDA approved study of LDN but the MS Society is supposedly not driven by a profit motive but driven to find a cure.There must be at least one idealistic researcher in the world who would like to study a drug with the anecdotal promise of LDN and I'm sure most of us would love to see the Society made to live up to its lip service.So, why has nobody applied for MS Society funding for an LDN study (or if they have and been turned down, publisize that)?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
