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.

It sounds like the usual -bureacracy holding up progress. Here's hoping this petition can speed things up and get people to sit up and take notice.

Yo padezco EM y no recibo el tratamiento necesario, pido nos ayuden porque como yo en Uruguay somos muchos los que no accedemos a los mismos, por problemas de costos en las instituciones médicas privadas a las cuales pertenecemos y considero merecemos tener una buena calidad de vida, si existen fármacos que nos la permitan tener.-

My partner has been suffering from MS for 25 years but it has now advanced to, what I think is called, a secondary progressive stage. Both I and my partner are hoping that LDN will be prescribed by our GP. I am surprised that in this modern world with all the advances made in all fields, not just medical, that it has not been possible to come up with something to cure/treat MS. Why has LDN, which has been successful in the treatment of MS since 1985, not been prescribed to MS sufferers? I understand that the treatment costs approximately £3 per day.

With such overwhelming evidence that LDN is highly effective, why is it that it is not being clinically trialed already?

I would like clinical trials to start on LDN as I feel it could help everyone on this planet with any disease they may unfortunately have. It seems a safe way to healing the body.

As one who suffers from remitting relapsing M.S., I would like the benefit of a clinical trial to best judge the effectiveness and safety of ldn. It seems ludicrus to me that something that could potentially change the course of so many diseases, and the lives of the people who suffer from them should be put on hold pending the fundraising efforts of the public. We so badly need drugs that provide a safe and effective solution to the problems we suffer.

I unfortunately suffer from copd,I have asked my Doctor to prescribe LDN for myself in the hope it may be of some benefit to me, to cut a long story short I have had to purchase it of the internet and use it without the guidance of my Doctor. It is my humble opinion that the Medical Profession should have a more curious and open mind to any medication that has been demonstrated to help people who have debilitating and painful diseases, not just dismiss them out of hand.

Every person suffering from MS should have the choice and a chance of a better quality of life. I have previously been on Avonex which made my life miserable for most days of the week. I have been without meds now for 3 years & would love to have the option of trying LDN.

Interferon is not working and my general condition is deteriorating. Why not give it a chance - it can't get much worse than living knowing that nothing will ever get better.

I have been on BetaSeron since it became available. I have tried LDN for about 1 1/2 years and prefer swallowing a pill rather than inserting a needle. And yes, when I was on LDN I was NOT on BetaSeron.
