Re: Testing of LDN

[Guest guest]

HI Kathy and all...I feel the same way you do about the internet. I say

thank God for cuz of course none of us would know about the LDN...well none

but Dr. Bihari's patients I guess. As I said before all of this is certainly

a LEAP OF FAITH. Plain and simple. I just thank God that I took that leap.

None of us are obligated to share this information with anyone. Not quite

sure why I've been so compelled to do so. You can certainly lead a horse to

water but you can't make him drink...not sure how that applies to a horses

ass...lol.

Reading Maries post on clinical testing of LDN just makes me so sad.

It's so unbelievably sad that the government (or whoever) won't conduct the

testing on this drug that is doing so many people so good.

I do want to ask though, that if someone did do the studies, why would there

be no patent? is it because naltrexone and revia (i believe that's the

right non-generic name) are already marketed drugs?

I even told my neuro that I didn't see testing coming b/c no one stands to

make $$ and he basically agreed. Kinda surprised me, but he did!

It's just sad... Very sad. Even in the case of an online friend of mine

who could possibly benefit from it, she prefers to stick with the " proven "

treatments. Just think if she'd go out on the limb and take LDN and feel so

much better? She's young too, maybe 36. Think of how her quality of life

could possibly stay the same?

I'm so anxious for my LDN and since I think the way I do, it's hard for me

to understand how people can read all the great things and still have to

wonder. I'm very open-minded and if I read all your posts on all the good

results, that's all I need. Of course, I have investigated the side

effects, but honestly, most of my information has come from you guys!! For

that I'm so thankful. I'm thankful for the internet and all of the endless

possibilities of learning & research there are out here. And, the wonderful

people who you can meet and share with.

I sometimes think to myself, geez, if I had no internet, I'd never know

about LDN, and probably neither would 99% of you guys! Imagine it.

Sorry, I'm rambling here. Just thinking outloud.

Kathy

PS congrats on your LDN!!! I can't wait to hear your results soon :-)
