From Dr. David Gluck, MD:
"LDN is absolutely unique. And that's part of its problem, in that it's a brand new paradigm, a new way of thinking of treatment... A nice way to think about LDN is that it is not like any other medication whatsoever. It is a way to strengthen the immune system."
The above was shared by Phyllis Seals, thank you :), and to Linda Elsegood for everything you have done to promote the education of this medication at http://www.ldnresearchtrust.org/
That's all it is, a medication. It may work for a person, it may not. It causes the least known harm with the most benefit for so many disease, it's hard to believe. If it was used first, and actually helped heal, the burden on the medical community would be what? Healthier patients? Less relapse? Less costly prescriptions? Less side effects?
LDN, not a miracle pill, not a magic bullet. Learn the facts, search for critics. Education is priceless:
The only negative I can find, in a TON of research that I continue to do, is two people in a 10,500 member group who reported taking LDN and after 3-5 years found, for them, it didn't keep working.
1. Research and Trials need funding to give a fair voice to those patients, and to those that take it longer with success. It just needs to happen regardless, but it won't be funded by bigPharma.
2. If I get 3-5 years without suicidal ideations, and they return? That's 3-5 years I had relief, then I would go back to getting by like I have for the past 3-30 years...
3. If I got a diagnosis of an illness, like MS, and worst case was told "you may live 3-5 years without symptoms, but they could return," huh, what do you think I would do? I would take the 3-5 years without symptoms because that seems like a blessing, not a miracle.
PS you cannot become addicted to LDN. It's not a happy pill. It's immune therapy~which, if you research is becoming the new theory in treating cancers and other diseases, but when it comes from bigPharma it will have a price tag + side effects to match. You are the consumer, you are in the drivers seat.

Check out the LDN Research Trust site for fact sheets, prescribing doctors and more information, and always look for critics, arguments against, the other side of the story, the flipside of the coin~education should be a messy process, not exactly linear. If you only follow one road, you can only land at one destination.
