Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Dr.Bihari certainly does not need to do this, but it would help all were he to put up his own MRI or other findings to document that he has had MS for many years without progression. This would convince the most skeptical of nay sayers and lead to a rapid gathering of momentum in the LDN movement towards a clinical trial. Based on what I read from this board, I have no reason to suspect that LDN does work in some cases of MS. The folks who write about it, do it with a genuine conviction. What is really needed is an objective study as to which patients benefit, does early treatment help, does it stop advanced disease, what about beneficial effects on the multiple other diseases that Dr.Bihari claims?. There are a lot of questions and considering the number of patients affected by MS world wide, Dr.Bihari should consider putting his own medical records online. For the believer, none of this really matters.. but there are a lot of LDN non-believers who are being (mis ?)guided by their physicians and being denied LDN treatment. DR.Bihari has an ethical duty to put up his medical records online. If he does not do that, the skeptics will continue to ask why not?. Is this just a marketing ploy by Dr.Bihari ?. He does have a conflict of interest, as he benefits from consultations. Yash > Hi All > This is my understanding of the situation. In his late 20's or early > 30's he was diagnosed with MS.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I don't see it as any conflict of interest. All potential LDN users can certainly use any doctor they want, and their best possiblity of getting a prescription is a good relationship with their own doctor as well as making an opportunity to provide their doctor with concise information on the drug. It isn't necessary for anyone to consult with Dr. Bihari although I can see why some people would give up on their own doctor if met with a lack of support. (At that point I would find another doctor.) I think you probably have a better chance of support from your GP or family doctor than most of the neuros I've seen. I don't see how this can be any kind of marketing ploy though. I'd really like to see some findings published on the use of LDN in the myriad of diseases listed at the info website. Certainly the case studies could be published in a manner that would protect patient anonymity and provide us with more information for our own doctors. If this medication is really helpful for so many diseases there is a moral obligation to get the word out, and to support it in a factual manner that will ensure interest and attention. Well, now you have my two cents worth. ----- Original Message ----- From: " yashagrawal " <yashagrawal@...> > and being denied LDN treatment.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 It sure doesn't seem like a conflict of interest to me. It is more like sharing some very good fortune at a very reasonable cost for other ms'er's. Regards, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
