Vicki & LDN - Please E-Mail News Media for Coverage & Governor

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

As a follow up to Message (Walk for LDN Awareness - Please e-mail the Governor!! ), I corresponded with Sammy Jo about Vicki's News Coverage and her response was "Vicki said the local TV news is meeting her, but if you have #'s for the major TV news that is a great idea! Post away!"......so let's Post away and send e-mails to the local Sacramento stations, asking them to cover Vicki both at the local and National levels. Since this is such a great story, please ask the local affiliates to also send the story to the national affiliate. I've included links to the major stations below. Additionally, I included an example of what I already sent - feel free to copy/paste/modify and include how LDN has helped you in your disease (cancer, AutoImmune, HIV/AIDS, Autism, etc.). The more people that send in their stories of success with LDN, the more likely the news stations are to cover this story and/or send it to the national level.

Please also send an e-mail to the Governor, if you have not done so already (see the Message above for a link to his e-mail). Everything that we can do to get LDN in the news leads us one step closer to clinical trials in each of our diseases! Vicki is an inspiration on what one person can do to further the LDN cause. And we, too, can be a part of her support by e-mailing the news media and telling them about Vicki and our stories. Thanks!

Hello,

I have a news item that I believe would be of great interest to both your local and national viewers. This news story is currently happening in the Sacramento area and will culminate at 2:00 at the Capital Steps in Sacramento on Monday, May 19th, where Vicki Finlayson hopes to meet with Governor Schwarzenegger. It's a ' versus Goliath' story of Vicki Finlayson versus Multiple Sclerosis. It is a personal interest story of Vicki's courage and determination in finding Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), the drug that has made walking & normal life possible again for her. But it is also a & Goliath story of the current Big Pharmaceutical Giants against a low cost, generic drug that can help so many conditions where the immune system is not properly functioning. Besides MS, LDN is also being used successfully in many AutoImmune, Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Autism, Viral Diseases, and other conditions by thousands of patients, but few patients have heard of it. LDN's promotion has become a grass roots efforts, lead by many people, including Vicki's efforts.

Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist and already approved by the FDA for other conditions such as drug and alcohol addition. Naltrexone has also been proven (by NIH and other researchers) over the past few years to also offer great benefits to the immune system in multiple diseases when used in very minimal dosages. The University of Pennsylvania (Hershey Medical School, Dr. Ian Zagon, Dr. Jill , and others have been doing significant medical research into this area for years. Last year, a LDN Crohn's Study was released where 89% showed improvement in their condition and 69% of the Crohn's patients went into remission (and this at the cost of approximately $1.00 a day -- yes...that's 100 pennies)!

Regular dose Naltrexone was already FDA approved many years ago, and is now in the generic stage where it is so cheap. LDN must be compounded to make it approximately 1/10 to 1/15 of the regular dosage of Naltrexone. Therefore, there is no profit in any drug company doing any of the clinical studies for LDN for any medical condition since it can already be used in an 'off-label' use. That means that most clinical studies specific to LDN are or will be either sponsored by the Government (such as National Institutes of Health, NIH) or groups personally raising funds to sponsor a study, such as Vicki.

We, ourselves, have seen the power of LDN in my daughter's liver condition. While we were waiting for a pediatric liver trial to start for my daughter's condition, we found LDN. LDN made an immediate impact in the condition of her liver and she has made significant improvement (and no longer needs any liver drugs). LDN cost us $20 a month, instead of the approximate $800/month for the other drug she would have taken. That's a significant health savings, as well as the dramatic improvement in her liver condition!!

Please talk to Vicki and hear her inspiring story. Please also learn about this very inspiring drug, LDN, that is already FDA approved and may be prescribed 'off-label' for these other conditions.

For more information on Vicki, please see http://www.ldners.org/advocates.htm. http://www.sacbee.com/health/story/939531.html.

Also, for more information on LDN, please see http://www.ldninfo.org/ . For more information about Dr. Ian Zagon and his work on how opioid antagonists (such as LDN) influence the immune system, please see http://fred.psu.edu/ds/retrieve/fred/investigator/isz1

I think this story would be of interest to the national community, as well as the local community. Would you please pass this on to your national affiliate? Thank you!
