We petition the European Parliament to make funds available for trials and research for LDN to achieve a licence and public availability.

We petition the European Parliament to make funding available, either directly through taxes or indirectly by directing research bodies to provide funding, to undergo trials for the generic drug, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Primarily this is to be done for Cancer since there lies the biggest savings of life and economy, but then also for the many other diseases, such as MS, Crohns disease, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and many more.

Alternatively, the drug should be made available on the basis of its widespread use and the widespread positive reports of the many doctors around the world who are currently using it. The evidence about this drug has overtaken the trials process already and as such, we ask also that this drug be made available as front line treatment, now. The research should then be performed to confirm the drug and resolve the many unanswered questions surrounding it. That a generic drug is proving so important in saving lives makes the unavailability carry a human rights burden too.

To summarise, we ask for the funding to be provided and the drug to be made freely available to those who request it. The drug has been proven safe at high dose usage with no toxicity issues so the safety trials are done, and we know of no drugs which become unsafe at low dose when safe at high ones. In 30 years, the drug industry has ignored this drug due to lack of return on investment, so we believe that only government led intervention can break this scandalous apathy. LDNNow, save our sick, save our economy.

Please note, we do NOT require any funding. All we want is your signature and support. After signing andsupporting this petition a page will pop up requesting donations, this will NOT be going to LDNNow. Your name and email address is all that is required. Thank you.

Investment in the improvement of peoples health & quality of life etc should be the paramount consideration in the licencing of 'new' drugs NOT the profit of the pharmaceutical companies! LDN should be trialled, licenced & made available to all.

I have fibromyalgia and LDN has given me back my life in the 18 months I've been taking it. shocking that NHS won't fund a drug that costs less than £20 a month, yet it's happy to prescribe medications costing far more that don't even help.

Please provide funding for a trial. You can see that there have been trials in the U.S., in particular for Crohn's Disease, with very good outcomes. Think of the of the money that will be saved, not to mention the misery that can be alleviated!

My GP suggested LDN but then couldn't prescribe it. I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis with high antibodies there's many patients where their antibodies have been reduced to Zero. I also have interstitial cystitis and Pernicious Anaemia, what is next for me?

This would be a wonder drug for me as at the age of 30 I have been suffering since 15 years old with autoimmune diseases such as Lupus,Psoriatic arthritis and Addisons Disease as well as daily migraines. This has meant that even though I have tried my hardest to work I am unable to. This drug would give me back my a quality of life and make me feel like a valued human being as well as saving the country thousands of pounds on ant-tnf drugs and ESA benefits. This is a life changing drug that needs to be available everywhere. Please make this happen.

It is not right that patients are not given this option. Please fund clinical trials and make it available to all. It has helped me get off RA drugs entirely and live my life again. It is criminal that our health system is not using LDN to help more people.
