Breaking Down Barriers

Friday, October 19th, 2007

On the eve of 3rd annual LDN conference it still amazes me how people are needlessly dying and suffering because of medical bias and ‘Big Pharma’s hold” when they could be helped. I had read numerous books and articles and it became apparent to me that better alternatives existed and that the truth was being suppressed because of ignorance and blatant hostility to alternative medicines.

I’ve come to see that the extent of hostility was far more than I’d ever imagined. The natural doctors are doing what’s right, prescibing LDN for those in need while most oncologists would rather let you die following the chemotherapy regimen which is proven not to work in most cases, than try alternative approaches which anecdotally have had positive results.

My oncologist told me I was terminal and only palliative chemotherapy was the only option left, which is not an option at all. He would not  look into Low dose Naltrexone and even now that I am stable will not even respond to my updates or charts.

“Only 10% of the oncologists would prescribe at least one type of CAM and this attitude correlated significantly with previous physicians’ use of CAM and with being a clinical oncologist as well as with having questioned patients about CAM use. Most oncologists (80.7%) would not indicate the use of CAM, mainly for lack of scientific proof of its efficacy (56.2%). Click here for article.

With the number of people who are dying with conventional oncology it amazes me why alternatives are not embraced by the oncological community who peddle their treatments which make you sick and in most cases add only a few painful months to a patients life.

Low dose Naltrexone public awareness needs to be significantly increased so more can be helped. With the hope of 6 clinical trials commencing in 2008 with LDN, maybe this conference will be the catalyst for all those in need in 2008.

I know it has saved my life,
