This petition is in support of the campaign to get Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) into clinical trials. Many drugs used for MS on a daily basis have not been in clinical trials and yet Doctors still prescribe them to MS patients. Some drugs used in the treatment of MS have serious side effects. Low Dose Naltrexone is prescribed at such a low dose of 3 - 4.5 mg daily that there is absolutely no harm in using it. Many people have found their progression to stop or at least slow down immensely while taking LDN. Unfortunately though LDN is still rarely prescribed, therefore the sooner we get trials underway the better. Many people from around the world are trying to get their doctors to prescribe LDN but very few are lucky enough to find a good doctor who will help. Dr. Bihari in New York and Dr. Lawrence in Wales are under alot of pressure trying to help as many patients they can. At present they have to put many on a waiting list because there are little other doctors helping them by prescribing this drug. Your help is needed right now! Please sign this petition today and send it to as many people with as possible, together we can make a difference. Our team of campaigners for LDN hope to reach our goal of 100,000 signatures with your help. No matter where you live, you are important to us as we are campaigning for EVERYBODY WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. We will then send the results to politicians in all corresponding countries.
We signed the "Sign & Support the campaign for Research & Trials in 'Low Dose Naltrexone for Multiple Scler" petition!

We collect vast amounts of money to prevent human suffering, yet we have something right on our doorstep that is kept out of reach. Who is keeping it back from us and why? We need to help those that suffer and give them hope!

I find it difficult to believe something that could potentially change someone's quality of life is not available to them and they continue to suffer.

People with MS need to all evidence-based available options at their disposal to help them successfully manage a difficult and chronic condition. LDN shows promise, has a low side-effect profile, and needs to be researched in clinical trials so we can gather the information necessary to definitively determine if LDN should become another option that people with MS can access. I don't see an upside to saying "no" clinical trials. On the other hand, saying "yes" has potentially significant upsides.

LDN is effective, cheap and side effect free. If you are an MS sufferer, there is no reason not to try it. If you are a physician, there is no reason not to prescribe it. It is what they call a "no brainer". It won't hurt and it will help.

This drug need to have clinical research done so that it can be a proven drug that more doctors will support. I am on LDN and it has helped me out so much. There are a lot of lives that have changed in a great way because this drug works. I have MS and the interferon drugs make me feel horrible. I was sick twice a week off this and I did not want to continue on a drug that makes me feel that bad. I am standing up for LDN because there are not many side effects and it works. Pharmaceutical companies need to stop thinking about what's the next medication that they can produce for MS that can make them a fortune and start thinking about making people feel better. LDN makes people feel so much better and makes them feel normal again. Isn't that enough reason for some company to study this drug.

I heard about LDN probably 4 years ago, but did not take action in taking it myself. I will take action after the last 4 years of living with M.S. --- M.S. Sucks, But the dis-ease has made me about a 100% better person, by giving me compassion for others. Be strong and read good books and think good thoughts.

I am 36 and have had relapsing remitting MS for 13 years. In the last 5 years I have had 5 relapses, one per year, each one increasing my disability slowly but surely. I am a Durham University graduate, qualified solicitor, but the effect of this disease on my brain has meant I have had to give up my career in the law. I am now close to needing to use a walking stick to leave the house and remain independent. Injection therapy is distressing with very unpleasant side effects, and not always suitable for everybody who wants to actively fight this awful disease. This drug can save our health service alot of money, as well as improving the lives of thousands of MS sufferers, and in turn save the government alot of money in benefits and support given to MS sufferers since their plight will be improved.

Low Dose Naltrexone saves lives and it is extremely inexpensive with very few side effects. What more can I say? With medical care becoming increasingly expensive, how can we not support this medication? The studies to date on this medication show better results than the many highly expensive drugs that are already approved and have terrible side effects. Please do something!

My daughter is 25, she has suffered with MS for the past nine years, we have tried all types of alternative medicines to stem the progression with limited success. If a new and potentially life changing drug that can halt, possibly repair the damage MS causes to the patient, surely the medical profession must embrace it.

As a sufferer og progressive MS I would wecome the opportunity of trying this drug as my condition has over the last three years become increasingly worse.
Although taking a variaty of drugs at no doubt high cost to the NHS this may reduce this cost significantly. As to the future should it have anything like the effect [Linda has had as covered in the Daily Mail] this would reduce ongoing supports costs significantly.
