LDN study

I was reading today that the LDN study will be for three months and be a double blind study with 80 MS patients from the Univ of California @ San Francisco MS center.  It is partially  funded by MS patients who have shown improvements in their MS after taking LDN.   They  raised 25 thousand dollars and gave it to UCSF so they would do the study.

The LDN group thought that the drug is so inexpensive that the pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. would not pursue studies with the use of it in MS because they would not get a return on their investment.  Very interesting....  I found this information at www.LDNers.org.  

The brother of my sister-in-law who has some kind of MS (Jefferson doesn't think it is important for him to know) is looking into it and he asked me to read it from a scientist's perspective...

Hi, Craig!

Long time no hear, buddy.  Although I feel like Elaine is a great friend, now!  

I hope the results are published soon, too.  It sounds so promising.
