Dr Burt Berkson, an internationally renowned medic and author of several case studies regarding the use of LDN in Cancer, has confirmed that he will be address the first European LDN conference in Glasgow in 2009. Dr Berkson has a wide knowledge of natural treatments in addition to the use of LDN and is the author of the “Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough”.
The first LDN psoriasis pilot started in Glasgow yesterday. The plan is to recruit ten subjects who will receive LDN for three months. The first two patients were inducted into the trial at The Essential Health Clinic in Glasgow on the 10th December. It is hoped that the trial will be completed in time to be presented at the Conference in April in Glasgow. There are almost 1million psoriasis sufferers in the UK and 125 million worldwide. Although there are now some very effective treatments for severe psoriasis, the vast majority of patients do not qualify for this sometimes toxic treatment. There is a clear gap in the treatment provision for a non toxic oral treatment which could be LDN.
The General Medical Council have announced that all doctors in the UK will require to be licensed in order to prescribe from Autumn 2009. This will require revaildation of the competency of each individual doctor and affects both the NHS and private sector. If you are receiving an LDN prescription from a private doctor you should enquire about whether they intend to be licensed in the future. If they do not or have difficulty getting a license then it is important that you make other arrangements for your prescription as soon as possible.
