Default ldn

Ashley,

I am curious about ldn for you-I know you have been taking it for awhile, and appear not to have progressed, but how do you know that? Do you mind sharing your med schedule/history with us, so we can compare? I think it's great that ldn is helping so many (not just pd-ers, but ms and crohn's disease as well), so we need to keep spreading the word.

Thanks for sharing, and for all the great info. on ldn!

Is it because these two drugs are very cheap and safe, their patents have run out long ago and no major drug company wants to spend millions in trials on people to show what the NIH has shown in rodents?
Ashley

Feel free to forward the two NIH papers below to the MJFF "Scientific Staff".
Good luck!
