First Do No Harm - The Prime Directive!

“First Do No Harm”. The prime directive of medicine is also the biggest reason why we should be using LDN as a first treatment in all autoimmune related conditions, which includes most cancers. Even if it was only a tenth as successful as it seems to be – pending the scientific proof – it would still be important to make it the front line approach to these diseases.

The only thing needed to make this therapy approach reliable is a bit of research to work out how to use it properly and how to spot when it doesn’t work well. It would be intelligent to do some large scale trial type research, and double blinded randomised crossover trials, to answer the many questions surrounding dosing, retention of metabolites and malabsorption issues.

But my point in this blog is to make it clear that there is no barrier to prescription of this therapy except the paranoia of GP’s who think they might get sued if it doesn’t live up to the hype.
Well, the answer to that is simple, tell the patient that it might work, it is not a cure and if you are early in your disease, you might not notice it working because nothing will be happening – including the progression of your disease.

LDN is completely safe to use and also we know it is safe to use long term. There are going to be people who don’t respond, but it will not harm people. We just need to work out when to start giving it to people, and the screening of endorphin levels is the obvious place to start here.
Endorphins are simply vital to health. It is well known that older people have less endorphin receptors and lower endorphin levels than youngsters, and now we are discovering that our plethora of age related diseases and endorphin depletion are connected strongly. This does not account for all disease, but it does account for most cases of a very large number of immune system diseases.

So, our motto is also “First Do No Harm” and this is why we confidently tell everyone to use LDN if they need it. Our beloved MS society may only work with drugs that can earn enough revenue to get their research paid for, but that just means that they will never notice a drug like LDN and will even resist supporting it at all. I can't really blame them for having to take that stance. But there is nowt so powerful as an idea whose time has come, and “First Do No Harm” needs to come again.

We have all been out on the street lately talking to the public about LDN, and the word is spreading fast now. Hopefully soon, every GP will have been asked for LDN, several times, and every MP will know about this idea too. We, the patients, want LDN. Who really has the right to deny us?
