Background (Preamble):

I was diagnosed as being HIV+ in 1987: I participated in the Ozone trial in
the Philippines in 1993 while practicing various alternative and natural
therapies and am 60 years of age in Sept. 2009 and am healthy and well.

I pursued further Ozone treatment in 1999 in Kenya with the scientist who
developed that particular method of delivery called Polyatomic Apheresis -
The late Basil Wainwright - and returned to Australia early 2000. I
discovered in that year a seeming decrease in my CD4 cells and a
concomitant decrease in my platelets so I went on medication then and
remained fairly steadily on it for some time - four years -with a couple of
intermittent breaks from it due to the development of small lumps in my
sides (abdominal area). In all of this time my cd4's have been only between
200 and 300: however, after being on LDN for some three months - from round
September 2008 - they showed the most significant increase I have seen
since the Ozone trial in 1993.....CD4' s were 350 and CD8's were 1096 with a
non detectable viral load.

I had a few weeks off around the Christmas and have now passed another
three/four month period taking 4.5 mg every night. My latest results at May
2009 are ... non detectable viral load and CD4 count of 293. The present
cost of this medication at the lower end of the scale is $100+.00 every
three months. I am receipt of a disability pension. I have an interest in
drawing official attention to this medication and having it listed on the
pharmaceutical benefits listings.

Please send this on to anyone within serious immune boosting concerns /
view the LDN site and sign the petition. Return this petition to me on the
20th January 2010 for review.

Petition:
We petition the Australian government to make funds available for trials
and research for LDN to achieve a licence and public availability. This
medication must be added to the pharmaceuticals benefits listings.

We petition the Australian government 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, HIV/Aids
and many more.

Alternatively, the drug should be made available on the basis of it's
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.

To sumarise, 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 so the safety trials are done, and we know of no drugs
which become unsafe at low dose when safe at high ones. In 25 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. LDN now, save our sick, save our economy.

Please fund LDN Now!
