[Guest guest]

!

Nice to meet you. I bought your book about 6 months ago. Thanks for

writing it. It encouraged me to continue working on Google LDN !.

With " The Promise of Naltrexone " that makes 3 books out now.

This is the year that everything will change...

God bless you,

Joe

Hi Joe--I am going to order your book this week. Please don't be discouraged...I think your drive and energy are fantastic and I am glad that you found LDN. My sister, who is a doctor, found it for me after researching MS, and my neuro said "OK" when I asked to try it before going on the Copaxone injections. Never tried the Copaxone after all. I only wish I had found LDN sooner, maybe my walking and balance wouldn't have deteriorated so fast. At least the rapid progression was halted; now it is very very slow after 2 1/2 years on LDN.

Can't resist telling you what a big fan I am of your father's books.

Happy Chanukah to everyone!

Joyce

I have not read the book, but will certainly look for it! LDN changed my life and the quality of that life with Crohn's disease. I was in the clinical trial at Penn State with Dr. Jill who is the most amazing and knowledgeable physician I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I hope your second edition will conitnue to spread the miracle that is LDN!One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Mail. Try it now.

Joyce...

I forwarded your message to my Dad.

I don't discourage easily. One hour out of 24 I allow myself to

consider the possibility that we will fail. Like I said earlier, it

keeps me honest.

I will repeat my pledge to the group. By next Christmas, LDN will be

a household word and the US Law will be changed so that this kind of

disaster will never happen again to another drug just because it's

generic. Mark my words...

Warmest,

Joe

Dear , I am looking forward to reading your 2nd edition to "Up the Creek ..."

I will never forget reading your book and identifying with things you went through. Like yourself, I found it for my husband and I had to convince him to try it, and fight to get him on it (being made to feel out of line by the doctor). Then seeing the amazing help it provided for my husband, I just had to work in some capacity to help others learn about this drug.

One of the most amazing things about this forum and the "LDN community" has been that many of us "old timers" have taken up different paths to try and help in our own way. has her forum and has learned so much and shared about Candida (amongst so many other things), Cris has documented cases with LDN on her internet site "Case health" and put together the free LDN book for distribution, Joyce began the doctors list, Crystal has set up a few internet sites and written and gathered important data regarding items to keep LDN working successfully for people (and she also keeps a doctors list), Cyndi has worked with videos and documenting interviews and LDN talks, You have written your book and brought about awareness through the media, Vicki has done fund raisers and made good strides in the news and completed her LDN walk in Sacramento, SammyJoe set up her web site, facilitated the start of the MS trial at UCSF and has co-authored a book on LDN, has set up and managed the LDN trust site in the UK, Sunny has coordinated the LDN annual conferences, and so many more people have found their nitch for helping. I love that we all appreciate what one another has done for the LDN cause over these past few years, and I love that we support and acknowledge the help each of us have been trying to achieve here. This really has been a very positive, caring and open forum in which to work in.

All my best to each and everyone that has helped to bring LDN into the open for others to learn about it and to achieve better health.

Kindest of regards
