LDN just wont reach the
LDN just wont reach the market because there is no money in it. It's sad, but true..........
I'm not sure I understand.
I'm not sure I understand. Naltrexone is already on the market. It's just a matter of getting docs comfortable with prescribing it. That takes studies on humans that show some sort of efficacy. Some of that work has started already.
It may not get MS as an indication, but then steroids don't have MS as an indication and you won't find a neuro who hasn't Rx'd steroids for a relapse on someone.

The only thing I am saying
The only thing I am saying is that somehow doctors "don't believe" in a drug like LDN, while they almost send out the Tysabri promotion team to stimulate you for that drug.
Do you think it has anything to do with the money thats made out of it?
For example:
Naltrexone cost per 50 mg about $5.70. So lets take the avarage LDN dose of 4 mg a day. which is about $0.45 profit a day.
compared to:
the Hospitals that charge about $2900 for a monthly infusion of which $2184.62 is per vial for Biogen.
Money makes the world go round.....
Well, don't discount the
Well, don't discount the clinically proven efficacy of Tysabri. If a trial shows that LDN is more effective than the ABCR drugs, you'll see lots of doctors prescribing it. They don't get paid based on how much profit a drug makes. It would be irresponsible for them to promote an unproven drug.
I think your frustration is stemming from the fact that there is not financial incentive for anyone to go find out if LDN is worth prescribing. But there is a personal incentive for people affected by MS to have these trials done if they feel that LDN is a good drug to look at. So do what Sammy Jo at ldners.org did and start a fundraising movement to fund another trial. Small trials cost less than $100K to conduct and can be very persuasive to the NIH to fund larger trials.
People actually getting out there and doing things makes the world go round. Money just makes it easier.
