Low Dose Naltrexone and AIDS...please read IMPORTANT
BigArtie
We recently heard very moving and exciting news from Jaquelyn McCandless
about the progress of the trial of LDN for HIV/AIDS which she and her
husband Jack Zimmerman are helping to conduct in Mali.
Early word is that the group taking HAART plus LDN is doing extraordinarily
well. It's evident that the trial will tell us a great deal about the
effects of taking LDN for HIV in Africa and in other developing areas around
the world.
The trial has been very difficult to run, given the poverty and
unpredictable conditions in Mali, the challenge of finding trial
participants who fit within the appropriate CD4 range, the need to pay all
the local physicians and staff on the project, etc.
Jaquelyn and Jack have personally put in more than half of the $350,000
needed to fund the trial -- this comes directly out of their own retirement
savings. In addition, about $40,000 more is needed to finish the trial.
Jaquelyn reports that they are finding it difficult to raise more funds.
We strongly feel that it is time for all of us to show our support for this
trial, which may be pivotal in helping to demonstrate the efficacy of LDN to
the world medical community. Beyond the issue of HIV/AIDS, upon completion
this will be the largest human trial to date of LDN for any disease.
We also owe it to Jaquelyn and Jack to help support them in this time of
need, to give them a boost at a moment when things look especially
difficult -- with 9 months left to go in the study to complete all the
testing.
We are reaching out to you -- the 7,300 members of the LDN Yahoo Group -- to
join us in supporting the Mali trial.
If only a third of us were to give $20, the resulting donation to Jaquelyn
and Jack's fiscal sponsor, The Ojai Foundation, would be more than enough to
provide the remaining funding for the trial. Since some of us can send more
and all of us want to see this study completed, the goal seems realizable!
Please write a generous check now and mail it today. Together we can help
complete this trial and give Jaquelyn and Jack the support they need to see
it through to completion and publication -- benefitting all of us, and
potentially the millions of those suffering from HIV/AIDS throughout the
world.
Make your check out to: The Ojai Foundation, Africa Project
(Please give whatever you can afford -- many of us can give $50 or even
$100.)
And mail to:
The Ojai Foundation, Africa Project

We are writing our own checks and mailing them now -- please join us.
Thank you for kindness!
