LDN - LOW DOSE NALTREXONE and MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
LDN -Low Dose Naltrexone is a drug that has become a very contentious issue for patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis who are desperate and come up against a brick wall with their neurologist. Many doctors are reluctant upgrade their medical expertise by at least doing the research on LDN as an alternative to the massively expensive FDA approved drugs. The reality is that there is no financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to spend money on clinical trials to determine LDN's efficacy. It is a drug which the patent has run out on therefore removing the incentive of profit for the drug companies. Normally the life of a patent is 20 years, and then it becomes a product that is fair play in the open market that can be produced at very low costs. Hence, along comes the "generic" drug, a drastically cheaper version of brand name pharmaceuticals that were cost prohibitive for many to pay out of pocket.
This authors personal experience led me to sever my relationship with my neurologist of 12 years, who I was thoroughly satisfied with until I brought Low Dose Naltrexone to her attention. She had never of it. I furnished her with all the information she would need to make a decision or investigate further and give guidance on whether she thought it may or may not help me. Having given her more than ample time to review the information based on her stated time frame I was forced to make a decision. She told me to give her a few weeks - about two. I afforded her six weeks while I did further research and while desperately seeking to find a doctor in New Jersey who supported the use of LDN. Four weeks went by, I kept praying while looking for a neurologist.
I always encourage anyone who I speak with who is dissatisfied with the level of care they're receiving or lack thereof they have the power to seek and seize that which is so desperately needed.
The BIBLE states "SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND". I sought, I found, and now after almost three years with my wonderful newly found doctor I am overjoyed. He is a well versed progressive doctor who does not subscribe to business as usual. He is true to the Hippocratic Oath he took upon stepping into his chosen profession. When you've come to that fork in the road where a decision must be made, you feel it a matter of life and possibly death, but there is an opportunity for beautiful change and triumph to envelop your life. You see simple BIBLICAL truths that are guides to place in our mind and heart, and then to live a life of purpose, hope an sharing.
This is the official website that has been spearheading the commendable efforts to promote LOW DOSE NALTREXONE as a viable option not only for Multiple Sclerosis but Cancer, Parkinsons, Crohns and so many other diseases. The other link is a doctor who has used LDN with promising results for his patients. It is so unfortunate that people with chronic life altering illnesses have viable alternatives that are cheap and safe but not promoted by the health care industry. Maybe now with the discussions of health reform, costs and availability of easier access to information, the veils of deceit are rapidly leading to an order not controlled by wealth and greed but empowered by "WE THE PEOPLE." BE WELL AND GOD BLESS!
