My name is ph Wouk. Six months I nearly died from Progressive

Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis. I was suffering from Sub Cortical

Dementia and was beginning to enter Phase 3 which is out and out

dementia.

Serendipitously, and expecting nothing. I began taking an unknown drug

know as LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone). Within 3 months all my symptoms

vanished in July and the progression of the disease was completely

halted. I had been told by the best MS doctors on the west coast that

there was no treatment for progressive MS. They were wrong. LDN has

been halting progressive MS for the last 20 years.

Since that time my brain has bee rewiring itself around those portions

destroyed by the MS and I have been able to quit using the anti ADD

medication I had been forced to take in order to function.

The only reason nobody knows about it is that since it's a generic

drug no company is willing to spend th money necessary to get FDA

approval.

This must end with LDN and must be prevented from ever happening again

to another drug.

Naltrexone is FDA approved to help recovering addicts. It is an opiod

blocker. The low dose version (one tenth the 50 mg dose approved for

addicts) works by causing the body to produce triple the endorphins it

ordinarily does. This fortifies the immune system so the body itself

is able to fight the immune system related disease.

I am going to be introducing legislation to allow for the re patenting

of generic drugs when a new and important use is discovered. If that

law had been in effect, LDN would have gotten FDA approval for MS and

a host of other immune system related disorders 20 years ago.

Millions of lives and countless hours of unnecessary suffering would

have been saved, and by now LDN would again be a generic drug.

The loss incurred to the public of having to pay more for a re

patented drug is far outweighed by the benefits that will be received

by society from encouraging the exploration of new uses of existing

drugs for new purposes.

This is a problem that will only worsen with time. So many drugs are

being discovered all the time and so many of them are going generic

that there are clearly going to be more and more cases like LDN

popping up. This problem in our system must be dealt with

immediately. The solution is quite simple. A small change in the

patent law would have the pharmaceutical companies falling over

themselves to be the first to prove to the FDA that LDN is worthy of

approval for this new use.

This may be one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve one

of the many problems that exist in our current health care system.

Since it would allow the pharmaceutical companies a new and relatively

easy way to make more money I expect them to back my proposed change

to the patent law.

I have written a book entitled Google LDN ! about my experiences and

my suggested solution to the problem . It will be available worldwide

in about 6 weeks. If you are interested, I'd be happy to send you a copy.

My congratulations to President elect Obama. I was one of his backers

even before he decided to run.

Warmest,

ph Wouk

If this happens,MANY people will not be able to afford LDN
