Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Hi all, I came across a website from the Vanderbilt Medical Center. They seem to have all sorts of clinical trials so I thought I'd e- mail them to mention a possible study for LDN. I will copy and past my e-mail to them and the response that I received just this morning. Hi there. Boy, I came upon this website and was thinking what a great place to broach the topic of testing something called Low Dose Naltrexone for MS. There are several of us that have been taking it for several years with great success with MS. The website with info is www.low dose naltrexone.org. So frustrating because we are all up against a formidible opposition. Drug companies that are pushing very expensive " clinically tested " medication. This medication is injectable which makes it even less desirable, that and the fact that it is just a cash cow and nothing more in many peoples oppinion. At that site you will hear about the wonderful work that Dr. Bihari has been doing with it and aids patients. It was quite by chance that he discovered that it helped with many other diseases. You see, taking one little pill at bedtime caused the body to increase endorphins that then gets the immune system back to its normal state. I wish I could be more scientific in my description but I'm just a girl in Chicago that thanks her lucky stars she found this medication before she got on that ABCR merry go round. What is frustrating is the fact that this medication could be helping so many millions but no one wants to go out on a limb cuz of course the drug companies won't do a million dollar plus study for a medication that will stand to lose so much for them...sad situation, I say. Please look into this and write me with any questions you may have. I can only imagine that whoever decides to prove this out will go down in history as finding a potentially life saving, not to mention life re- affirming protocol for millions of people. Thanks for listening. Oh and if you sign on to the e-mail group you will see so many of us with nothing but positive results with this thing. Here is the reply I received: Dear Ms. F, Thank you for your interest in clinical research at Vanderbilt. I willforward your message to a neurologist at Vanderbilt who conducts research in MS. He will contact you if he has information for you or wishes to discuss your experiences with Naltrexone. Best wishes. Yours, Lynda Lynda Lane, MS, RN Senior Associate in Medicine Clinical Director Vanderbilt Clinical Trials Center 1500 21st Ave South, Suite 3500 Nashville, TN 37212 www.clinical-trials.vanderbilt.edu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
