Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Joyce, you're good!! Maybe this should be sent to Dr. B. I know he said grants would not cover a clinical trial. Not enough money given. You never know,maybe if one disease at a time is tested , it can be done. I wonder why the HIV patients have not pushed harder. I would think with all the celebrity attention HIV gets someone could break thru? I am worried if something should ever happen to Dr. B who will take over his mission? That is my 3 cents Kiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Not sure if any of you remember a few months ago, me saying that I wrote to the people over at some websites regarding clinical studies...well I finally got a reply. I will copy and paste it in it's entirety including my e-mail to the. I have not had time yet to research that site that they recommended that I look but I will. I know there are things we can all do and hopefully this is one of them...*S*. ...here goes: Thank you for contacting GrantsInfo, a service of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We provide general information to the biomedical research community regarding the NIH extramural research and research training programs, grant application procedures and process. Our apologies for the delay in responding. I suggest you discuss potential funding of your project with the extramural program staff of NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS): 301/496-9248 I, also, recommend you search our Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects (CRISP) database to find researchers which possibly might be interested in this topic. This is a database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other research institutions. It includes abstract info about the particular grant as well as contact information for the principal investigator. You may search on currently active and historical awards back to FY 1972.

Subject: (WG) Possible clinical trial 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 thousands 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. Naltrexone on the other hand is very inexpensive and has been FDA approved for other things for about 20 years so there is no hope for a patent at this point. We all know what that means. 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 affilated with the www.low dose naltrexone.org website, you will see so many of us with nothing but positive results with this thing. I really was not sure this was were to send this but if it is not, please forward it to the appropriate person. Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Oh boy Kiki...I have been having those same thoughts about Dr. Bihari especially when I heard that he was kind of sickly recently and of course because of his advancing age. Not quite sure what will become of it....spose I'll have to give Oprah a call after all...lol. Joyce. From: NoClue915@... wkendz32@...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Looks like for 16 years! Lynn Jane Seymour's All-New Post-Hospitalization Interview ET has an all-new interview with the "Dancing with the Stars" competitor about her hospitalization for food poisoning. ET's JANN CARL caught up with JANE SEYMOUR at her rehearsal for next week's "Dancing with the Stars" competition to find out just how serious her illness was. "Honestly, it was completely stupid," Jane tells Jann. "I had been losing a lot of weight when I did the jive, so I made myself eat more, and something I ate disagreed with me profoundly, to the degree that I got to be the size of a basketball or bigger. Acute pain. The paramedics came. They said, 'You can't stay here. You've got to go to hospital.' So they did it. They took a test. It was definitely food poisoning, so it came and went and I am okay now." This week, Jane and her professional partner TONY DOVOLANI will be dancing both the cha cha and the quickstep, which will mean double the rehearsal time at a time when she is recovering from her illness. But, she says, she never thought of quitting, despite the death of her mother, the fires in Malibu that came close to her home and her most recent hospital visit. "Sometimes when something happens, you wonder, 'How can I handle all this?' I did this because my mom wanted me to do this. My mom said, 'You should go do this.' The fires were out of my control. We were very fortunate. A lot of other people were not and my heart goes out to them. The fire brigade was incredible. They really saved Malibu. This other thing was just a freak little thing. I just wish it hadn't happened on a Tuesday. If it had happened on a Wednesday, you wouldn't know about it." What we also didn't know until Jane revealed it was that she had to pad her bra last week, because with her skimpy outfit, there was nowhere else to put the battery pack for her microphone. So they put it in her bra, but then she looked lopsided, so she had to pad her other side to match. "So, I am heaving clearly a plateful of not my breasts, so when someone asked me the other day [if I had had plastic surgery], I said, yes, why not? I have always been honest," Jane says, sharing that the surgery was 16 years ago. "People have said I had a face lift. Never done that. I had my eyes done, because I had a little mole and big bags under my eyes which was genetic, but that was about 16 years ago, too." Something interesting... I was watching Entertainment Tonight lastnight and Jane Seymore was discussing if due to a recent health issue if she would continue on Dancing with Stars or not. Well she admitted to having breast implants! She didn't mention anything about a health connection but I found it interesting that she was recently very ill and has implants. Her health issue was something to do with bloating and abdominal issues. Hum.... Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
