Up the Creek with a Paddle Beat MS and All Autoimmune Disorders with Low Dose Naltrexone
"In 1986, when I first discovered LDN, if I had Mary Boyle Bradley on my team, this drug would have been approved, marketed and manufactured by a reputable pharmaceutical company. I have no doubt about that." Dr. Bernard Bihari
The story is simple. It is about love, life and hope. After years of battling with the onslaught of her husband's Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, Mary stumbled on a little known doctor in New York City, Dr. Bernard Bihari. Many people on the internet claimed that Dr. Bihari knew how to stop every type of MS from progressing. Even better, it was claimed that he could help everyone with an autoimmune disorder, ranging from psoriasis to AIDS. It was claimed that Dr. Bihari could help them with Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Eventually, Mary's husband took a leap of faith and put Dr. Bihari's work to the test. LDN worked. It stopped his MS from progressing. Since September 2002, a worldwide campaign has ignited with passionate momentum to get LDN medically recognized as a treatment for MS and all autoimmune disorders. LDN is a cheap, generic, out of patent drug with no known side-effects. Despite the fact that there is no financial incentive to entice any pharmaceutical company to investigate new uses for Naltrexone, the ambition is for LDN to hit the masses and improve the lives of millions. Small scale LDN clinical trials are finally making progress across the globe and are paving the way for a much better future for everyone who suffers from an autoimmune disorder.

I was given this book to read due to an auto immune issue and am now most interested in finding out what I can about LDN. Even though this is mostly about the effects of LDN on MS, it refers to its use in other situations. Mary Bradley has written an inspiring account of her experiences with this drug and that of her family. It can't be worse than the one that all but killed my immune system a few months back!

I would recommend this book to everyone, and hope they all would take LD N to prevent any immune disease. Mary Boyle Bradley should be commended for her hard work and courage and insight regarding LDN.
I will be taking LD N as I have MS. It is a no brainer. I am still mobile.I have had MS since1994 and now have hope. Thank you Mary.

Excellent book! Too bad the doctors treating ms patients won’t read it. Expand your mind doctors, think outside the box! Thank you Mrs Bradley for writing this book and I hope your husband is doing well.

Everything in italic 😳
Very odd. Italic is not an easy font to read. At least not for me. If you share a quote use italic. But when the book is one long quote it's painful. I did not bother. I read to enjoy first. Then to learn. I could not enjoy. I, therefore, learned nothing. 😒
