Dagmar,

People in northern latitudes suffer much more from MS than people closer to the equator. Scotland has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. One explanation is low levels of vitamin D, because of lack of sun exposure.

Here is a link you can use to get more information.

The video portion is one hour long, but the written portion summarizes everything in the video and can be read in 5 minutes.

If this fails do you know of any GP's who prescribe LND in Surrey, if not I would like to see you in Glasgow. I am really keen to get involved with getting the message across on LDN not sure how though? Many thanks Dear Dr Tom

Guess what, I am not excited, as my MS is around longer than these crummy, expensive drugs. I would like to try the LDN Drug, and since I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, I was wondering how to go about getting the drug prescribed and made. I look forward to being your new advocate in Edmonton, one of the cities hit the hardest by MS throughout the world. Dear Dr. Tom,

I wonder if i should start with .5 mg for awhile untl stable but am concerned as i am suppose to travel to see my famly a week from Monday...can you advise please? Sincerely, Rebecca Dear Dr. Gilhooly,

My neck seems better already after two nights, I doubt that, but it does. I am sleeping differently. I normally take 1/4th of a 1 mg. klonipan (like valium) for leg muscle cramps, but I didn't know if I could take it along with the LDN. I am not sleeping as soundly, but very relaxed and feel rested when I do get up. Now I am thinking if I have been taking it at night and decide I want to switch to day time, should I just skip one day. Like I took it last night and instead of taking it again during today, just wait and take it in the next morning. I hope I am making sense.

She is also having some hyper activity where she can't sit or lay still for more than a few minutes before she has to get up and walk around. This cycle goes on all day. Is this also a side effect to LDN? I am so glad to hear that LDN can be taken during the day as my wife is having a very difficult time with sleeping on the low dose she is taking for Lung Ca.
