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.

I have attempted to talk to my doctor regarding LDN, as I have had fibromyalgia and ibs for 15 years. My attempts have proven futile, I recently stumbled on the book "The Promise of Low Dose Naltresone Therapy", when I was at the Central Library in downtown Seattle....I hope to have more success in my next doctor visit, as I am going to take the book with me. More often than not, education has to come from the patient!

This is a very important study. LDN seems to have helped many, but validation is the key to it's acceptance. So, please reconsider any plans to stop this study,

I have been fighting MS for almost 30 years. I took Beta Seron for most of that time. In the last 2 years, it has stopped working, and I was switced to Tysabri. It has shown some amazing improvements, but if LDN could accomplish even more improvements, I would be VERY interested in learning MORE!

I have suffered with RA for almost 6 years. This disease robs you of the life you want to live. It is extremely painful and the only drugs available are so toxic and dangerous one wonders why more hasn't been done to solve the mystery of autoimmune diseases. I have a great niece with MS and I will certainly tell her about my discovering this site.

One of my dearest friends has MS. It breaks my heart (and inspires me) to see him struggle physically to do things that make him feel productive. That is the worst part of it--the physical inability to do the things still desired by the heart. Please conduct more research and clinical trials. Thank you.

We urgently need to get the clinical trials underway in order help people with multiple sclerosis and for others that have auto-immune illnesses that can also benefit from Ldn. Isn't it time to start thinking about what's best for the people with MS and not what's best for the pharmaceutical companies.

Research and trials are needed urgently - 2 general practitioners, 2 dermatologists and an immunologist I have seen in Australia have never heard of LDN and will not consider it as a treatment until there are readily available research papers on clinical trials.

As a victim of multiple sclerosis and having no success with either Copaxone or Avonex, I am anxious for clinical trials investigating the use of LDN and its potential benefits for M.S. patients like myself.

If more doctors would learn about this treatment, many more MS patients could receive this low cost and effective treatment and our health care industry could save many millions of dollars.

With so many positives and very few negatives associated with LDN, clinical trials for FDA approval as an alternative to painful, side-affect laden current treatments should be made available immediately.

Understanding its tough for doctors in keeping up with the latest information but do it yourself and persist no matter what with so many side affects with other meds its not clear why this is not advertised more than it is now only the money trail. Its about quality of life. I believe folks turn toward drugs (illegal or not) just to feel better.

For my daughter who was diagnosed with IBD at the age of 3 and now is told that she is out of medication options and should consider a total removal of her colon. She is 21 years old and suffers every day with pain and loss of control of her bowels. She is unable to work and is trying to get disability. Could save the government money if she could take an inexpensive medicine that would help her to become the productive citizen she once was.

My Mother has MS and started on LDN 2 weeks ago. So far encouraging signs with regards to pain control, but why does she have to spend over £100 for 1 mg dose for one month. Not only does she have an awful degenerative disease, she also has to fund her own treatment!
