An Open Letter to Helmut F. Prahl, Ph.D.

[Guest guest]

Below, please find a copy of an open letter that I

sent to Drs. Prahl and Levy last Thursday, November

2nd.

My apologies for the length of the letter.

Don,

I am looking forward to reading Dr. Prahl's response

to my letter. But please don't make it appear that

what I have done is unfair because my conclusions are

that Dr. Prahl is not who he claims to be and that his

drugs do not work.

For over 10 years Dr. Prahl's miracle drugs have been

glowingly promoted in the PLS Newsletter. Not one

word was ever mentioned about PLSers who determined

that Dr. Prahl's drugs did not work, and then

quit--with no significantly increased progression of

symptoms. No one ounce of doubt was ever printed

about Dr. Prahl's claims in the past 10 years.

Now I refute his claims, and the situation is unfair?

Don, you wrote that " (t)he case presented took at

least two years of research and investigation. It is

only fair to allow Dr. Prahl some period of time to

compile a reply. "

If Dr. Prahl really has been researching PLS for over

30 years, then I suggest that Dr. Prahl needs very

little time to reply.

Dr. Prahl knows more about himself than anyone on the

planet. He need not conduct research to respond to the

facts and questions about his background that I

presented.

Likewise, if he truly had been researching PLS for

over 30 years, he would need little time to respond to

the facts and questions about his drug that I

presented.

I suspect that he needs time to obtain and study the

medical literature about PLS (for the first time),

since it appears that he has never done so before.

As we both know, my letter and enclosures were in Dr.

Prahl's post office box in Egg Harbor, WI last Monday.

(I sent it to Florida thinking he had moved south for

the winter. I was wrong--he was still in Wisconsin.

The Express Mail folks forwarded it to Wisconsin.)

Certainly it will take Dr. Prahl some time to reply.

But at some point, it will become obvious that until

forced to learn about PLS, he really knew little about

it.
