Why can someone with blocked arteries of the heart get stents put in to prevent a heart attack?
Why can someone with blocked carotid arteries get a stent put in to prevent a stroke?
Why can someone with blocked abdominal aorta get a stent put in to prevent an abdominal aneurysm?
While someone suffering from MS in Canada can not get a stent put in to give them some relief of their symptoms?
Personally, I think this is a discriminatory practice.
We have a friend suffering from MS and he can not even get an ultrasound to see if his veins are blocked. You have to manufacture some other excuse to get such an ultrasound or else go outside of Canada...because as soon as they hear you are suffering from MS, no no no, you can not get an ultrasound of your neck or head.
I am not saying this so called liberation treatment is magic, or that it cures MS. But it seems in a large number of cases, it gives those suffering from MS significant relief. And I think that should at least be one of the goals of our health care system, to aid people in getting relief for whatever malady ails them.
