I was diagnosed with MS last year and quickly stumbled upon LDN whilst loooking around MS web sites.
I approached LDN with great skepticism because I didn't want to build up false hopes. What I found was a cheap line of drug therapy with almost no side effects which within weeks had reduced my symptoms quite spectacularly.
With MS, many people now believe that a dysfunctional immune system is to blame, rather than simply an overactive immune system. This goes against popular _belief_ but yet makes perfect sense once you see how well LDN works for so many people.
The simple fact is that drug companies are not able to make money from LDN - there is no money in it for them and so no clinical trials have been been done.
LDN is not a miracle drug, but it seems to work for around 80% of MS sufferers and many people with auto immune disease. Personally, I have never heard of anyone suffering from side effects whilst taking LDN, other than some slight sleep disturbance to begin with. If you have auto-immune disease, you won't be sorry you tried this drug.
