Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) on the NHS

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) on the NHS

Surprisingly enough, this blog is aimed at helping to get Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) available via prescription in the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS).

wikipedia has a short page on LDN (Surprisingly un-informative, the lowdosenaltrexone.org link above is more useful).

The LDN Research Trust is a UK charity which aims to increase awareness of LDN and it's uses and to raise funds for clinical trials to provide evidence of it's efficacy in treating auto-immune diseases and other conditions.

Dr Tom Gilhooly and his partner pharmacy, Dicksons's has been instrumental in publicising LDN in Scotland the UK generally via his clinic in Rutherglen, Glasgow.

Dr Gilhooly organised an EU conference on LDN in Glasgow which has just been held.

The next one will also be held in Glasgow in 2010, and will be over 2 days, 1 for clinicians and researchers and one open the public also.

I attended this conference and will be providing some notes on the content of the presentations given at it in this blog in subsequent postings.
