Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 JODY, AS FAR AS " LDN " , THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY DOES NOT ENDORSE IT AT ALL. IF IT WAS ME AND I WERE GOING DOWN HILL FAST, AND HAD TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAD BEEN TRIED AND TESTED, THEN PERHAPS I WOULD POSSIBLY THINK ABOUT IT. BUT AT THIS POINT, THERE ARE NO KNOWN USES FOR THE DRUG AND NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT THE SIDE-EFFECTS ARE. THE MEDICAL LITERATURE AND COMMUNITY IS VERY EXCITED AND IS ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE RELEASE OF " ANTEGREN " !!! PERSONALLY, I AM THINKING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO OPEN THE STUDIES EARLY JUST AS THEY DID WITH BEATSERON AND RELEASE IT EARLIER, BECAUSE IN ALL THE STUDIES I HAVE READ ABOUT IT, IT SEEMS OBVIOUS WHO IS AND WHO IS NOT GETTING THE DRUG. THESE ARE WHAT ARE CALLED DOUBLE-BLIND STUDIES, WHERE BOTH THE PATIENTS AND DR.'S DO NOT KNOW WHO IS GETTING THE DRUG OR PLACEBO. THIS WAS HOW BETASERON WAS TESTED 14 YEARS AGO, AND IT WAS OBVIOUS WHO WAS ON IT, SO THEY EVENTUALLY OPENED UP THE STUDIES AND APPROVED THE DRUG EARLIER THEN THE STUDIES WERE SUPPOSED TO GO ON. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!! JODYGIRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
