			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="+0">Here&#8217;s a link to a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/18/health/18gene.html">New York Times</a> story of a woman who died from a clinical trial for a gene therapy drug designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The drug is designed to suppress the immune system in the local joints, which mainsteam medicine thinks is the reason for the arthrititic inflammation.</font><font size="+0">Common sense says that if you suppress the immune system, then you&#8217;re prone to other infections which can become more serious than the condition being treated by the drug. In this case the &#8220;<em>&#8230; cause of death was a fungal infection, histoplasmosis, that had gone out of control, destroying her organs</em>&#8220;.</font><font size="+0">But she </font><big>was also on two other immune-suppressing drugs</big>.<big>, one of them called <a href="http://www.humira.com/RheumatoidArthritis/Default.aspx">Humira</a> and the combination could have been the cause of death as she had been on Humira for some time.<br />
</big><font size="+0"><br />
She died at the University of Chicago Medical Center, so one must assume she had the best care possible but to no avail.</font><font size="+0">Compare that conventional approach with the <a href="http://mycruisevideo.com/2007/04/22/spreading-the-word/">LDN approach</a>. LDN doesn&#8217;t suppress the immune system, but normalizes the immune system and relieves the rheumatoid arthritis symptoms without the serious side effects of the immune-suppressing drugs.</font><font size="+0">Pass this story on to your friends who might be thinking of immune suppressing drugs for their arthritis and steer them to LDN as the safe alternative. Since LDN only normalizes a deficient immune system, many other health problems that are immune related  can also be helped (<a href="http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ldn_and_cancer.htm">cancer</a>, <a href="http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ldn_and_hiv.htm">AIDS</a>, <a href="http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ldn_and_ms.htm">MS</a>, <a href="http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ldn_and_ai.htm">etc</a>)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spent the easter holiday in Hawaii with my father and his wife. He&#8217;s 82 yrs. old and his wife, Mary, is 75. She&#8217;s had rheumatoid arthritis for many years now, and rarely gets through the night without pain and stiffness.</p>
<p>On April 4th, I suggested she try LDN for her arthritis and gave her a 4.5mg tablet from my prescription. She continued taking it nightly for the next 7 nights. The 2nd day after starting LDN, she did not experience the usual arthritic pain she was accustomed to, and some other minor ailments she had also disappeared.</p>
<p>She returned to her home in Arizona on April 11th with an 8-day supply from my prescription, and went to her GP for her own prescription on the 17th. He was reluctant to give one, but she persisted and he wrote the prescription on the 18th. An order was placed with Skip&#8217;s Pharmacy in Boca Raton, Florida which was shipped out and arrived in Arizona on 21st. </p>
<p>Before her own prescription arrived, the 8-day supply I gave her on the 11th, ran out and for 2 days she was without LDN. By the 2nd day, the pain and stiffness from her arthritis had returned, so she was glad to get back on LDN on the 21st. The return of the arthritis after only a short time off LDN, is proof positive to her that the LDN works.</p>
<p>Now she&#8217;s convinced of the benefits of LDN for arthritis and living in a retirement community with it&#8217;s large population of seniors, she&#8217;s become an advocate for LDN and is now Spreading the Word. </p>
