Important, please read!
This is my friend who i have known all my life, please read and sign the petition down at the bottom!
Over four years have passed already since Joy was diagnosed with MS.
>
> I remember Dot and Charlie Schauss (her grandparents) were up here
> visiting
> and how devastated they were because Joy could not see or walk well enough
> to be able to do such a simple task as go to the store with them -
> something
> she had always done from the time she was a little girl.
>
> Dot (about 78 years old!) grabbed her out of the car and literally carried
> her as best she could, into the store. Joy was hanging on to her "gram"
> and
> doing her best to use her failing legs.
>
> Joy was always so full of life, but her immune system was compromised when
> the MS attacked. The areas she was hit the hardest were her eyes (optic
> neuritis in both eyes) and her legs. She always kept very positive
> mentally
> though - I believe more for our sake than for hers. "Don't worry!! I'm
> fine!!" she would tell us all the time. But we knew she wasn't.
>
> We started looking into schools for the blind and were trying to decide on
> what kind of wheel chair would work best for her. She was self injecting
> the
> junk that her well-meaning neurologist prescribed, but she just kept
> deteriorating. We did get a second opinion, diagnosis and prognosis - all
> concurring.
>
> An answer to prayer came by the way of our Luke talking about "alternative
> therapies" that we immediately started to investigate. After filtering
> through all the snake oil, we were led (Divinely) to a Manhattan
> neurologist
> who wrote about his success in MS and other auto-immune patients using
> LDN.
> We immediately made an appointment and got the prescription.
>
> Only by our Fathers grace and to His glory, Joy's sight was fully restored
> and her legs returned to normal.
>
> She is again full of life and harassing her friends and relatives -
> especially her poor old dad! ;-)
>
> We went back to her original neurologist showing him the great results and
> hoping he may be able to help his other patients with LDN, but of course
> he
> was more than just resistant and tried to discourage Joy from taking LDN.
> I
> brought this information to a friend and co-worker of mine who happened to
> be the doctor heading our research department. "Forget it - Big Pharm is
> making too much money on existing therapies - they'll never fund any
> research".
>
> Since this "miracle" drug does not offer the pharmaceutical companies any
> financial gain (it's a very old patent) there is no aggressive clinical
> testing being done. There are many people whose lives have been changed,
> like Joy, by using LDN.
>
> We are hoping to motivate the medical community to put aside their
> financial
> motives and get back to patient care via this petition.
>
> I'm asking you to sign this petition to help us reach our goal of 20,000
> signatures. I care deeply about this cause, and I hope you will support
> our
> efforts.
>
> Please pass this on to other "email buddies".
