Et svært bra intervju med en lege, Burt Berkson, om hans erfaringer med LDN og det å være en lege som ikke følger i opptråkkede spor. Intervjuet finnes på siden både som tekst og som lyd, velg selv!

I was very skeptical. But my wife had two aunts who had lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. They were actually on chemotherapy drugs, like methotrexate, and steroids like prednisone, that swelled them up. And the methotrexate was killing their bone marrow, affecting their heart. And they weren’t getting any better. So, I asked them if they wanted to try this low dose naltrexone. They said, “Sure.” In one month, they were completely normal, off all drugs, and just taking this $12 a month prescription.

Then we had maybe 100 patients who were rheumatology patients with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis. I would say that within one month, 95% of them are off all medications and feeling normal.

But I never force anybody to do these things. I ask them, “What do you want to do? Do you want to stick with the rheumatologist?” (Actually, I tell them always to stick with their rheumatologist or their oncologist.) “But do you want to try something a little different?” Many of them say, “No, I’m really happy with what I’m doing.” And I say, “That’s fine.” I would never want to force anything on anyone, and I don’t want anybody to force anything on me. Almost all of these patients we treated with autoimmune disease got better.
Fra intervjuet med Burt Berkson

LDN er en lite kjent medisin som kan virke bra mot autoimmune sykdommer. Blant annet. Andre virkeområder er MS, kreft, HIV/AIDS osv. Jeg vurderer nå å be om å få prøve den, derfor leser jeg litt rundt om den.

Hvorfor er den så lite kjent? Er det fordi den er så billig? Ifølge Burt Berkson koster den rundt 12 $ pr måned. Ingen farmasøytisk storindustri blir rik av dette....
