Dear Joyce,

Thank you so much for taking the time to do something that may help us

all! By the way, I live in CA.

Best wishes,

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the info on Smart Life, the

organization sounds extremely interesting.

It’s unfortunate their based in California, I was

hoping they would be closer to FL. . . lol Bringing LDN to

their attention sounds like a great idea, keep us informed. Good luck!

Interesting website...

Hi guys..just found this interesting website and I

thought I would share it

with you. It is www.smartLifeforum.org and from

what I was reading, I

thought it might be the ideal place to bring up

the LDN. I will copy and

paste some of what this organization is all about:

" The Smart Life Forum is a group that focuses

on issues of alternative

health, biochemistry, physiology and other

leading-edge sciences. We believe

that because much of U.S. medicine today is

medicine-for-profit, it excludes

many cost-effective therapies and alternatives.

Our approach is inclusive and evidence-based. We

study and discuss many

topics including nutritional medicine (vitamins

and minerals, fats and oils,

amino acids), natural hormone replacement &

hormone management, herbs,

diets, exercise regimens, as well as drugs and

surgeries "

It appears that this organization meets once a

month and presents speakers.

Would be a perfect place for Dr. Bihari to present

his case. Not sure what

happens after that but I sent them an e-mail which

I will copy and paste as

well:

Hi there, just came across your smartlife website

and was intrigued by the

concept because I am very much emeshed in

something that might be of

interest to you.

I am taking something that is very experimental at

this point to thousands

of us MS patients and the same can be said for it

being something that has

no side effects and yet it has actually halted any

further progression of my

MS for the past 21 months now. There are thousands

of us out there who

luckily have access to the internet and were able

to do a little research

and find Low Dose Naltrexone that a doctor in New

York has theorized will

help with all auto immune diseases by virtue of

the fact that it causes an

increase in endorphin production. More can be

learned at the website

www.ldninfo.org run by the Advocates For

Therapeutic Immunology.

The reason that I am writing to you is to seek

your help in pointing me in

the right direction with regards to finding an

organization that would be

willing to take on the task of doing a clinical

study for low dose

naltrexone and to possibly suggest that Dr. Bihari

would be a great speaker

for your organization. He is quite passionate

about this therapy and the

great things it is capable of doing.

The way that LDN works is to take a tiny

amount, 4.5mg, at bedtime. This in

turn creates a temporary blockade of the

endorphins by the pituitary gland.

This temporary blockade results in the body

thinking that it needs more

endorphins. 200% to 300% more endorphins are

produced, which regulates the

immune system back to one that no longer attacks

itself. Dr. Bihari has been

working with this therapy for about 15 years now

and would like nothing

better then for someone to step up to the plate

and do a clinical study.

This very effective and harmless drug could go a

long way to helping so many

people that are suffering with MS and all auto

immune diseases, including

HIV and cancer. There are currently clinically

approved injectable drugs for

MS, however, I really don't think they work long

term, and they are very

very expensive. Basically money getters for the

huge pharmaceutical

companies. Naltrexone used in the FDA approved

dose of 50 mg. has been used

for heroin addition and is now pretty much out of

patent. It is essentially

an orphan drug at this point. Everyone knows that

a patent is the desired

result of a clinical study. Therefore we are stuck

unless a government

agency does something.

Of course I am being presumptuous to assume that

Dr. Bihari would want to

travel to California and be part of this but I was

just curious to see what

they would say regarding this whole thing. I'll

let you know what if any

response I get back. Hey...not leaving any stones

unturned..*s*. Joyce.

Please direct me to just the right person who

might help me in my quest and

let me know if you would be interested in covering

this topic for your

organization. Thanks so much for listening. Joyce
