New Pathways

[Guest guest]

The MS Society in the UK also thinks like the NMSS but I guess they have to tread a very fine line. They cannot promote a drug that has not been on trial and approved. It has only been a year or so since the any of the Interferon type drugs have been available to the general public in the UK through the National Health Service - I believe you could get them if you paid for them privately at a cost of £10,000 pa. The MS Society was very instrumental in getting the Government's drug agency to approve these drugs for the benefit of those who could not pay £10k. I subscribe a small amount each month which provides me with a bi-monthly magazine that toes the official line. Still some interesting articles though so worth the small outlay.

I have mentioned on this site before the magazine I prefer, "New Pathways", produced by an organisation called the MSRC (Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre. It is full of interesting articles and is where I first heard of LDN. They have no loyalty to drug companies and welcome stories of alternative therapies. They also have a message board similar to Bren's. They have previous copies of the mag on the website. If you want to check it out go to:

http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=show & pageid=1028 & CFID=1091232 & CFTOKEN=78913685

They are trying to survive on donations and are struggling due to the collapse of the stock market following September 11th so if you want to find a home for your NMSS donations I am sure they would be put to very good use helping the MS community.

Gosh that sounds like a sales pitch - I think I missed my vocation!

luv to all, Sue

Hey Sue

That is the best thing I have seen posted. We really need that kind of

big back up and someone who isn't just talking for a drug company or

government.

Loved it, saved and on my way to see it.

Thanks
