My main issue is, some people suffering from MS have a blockage in a vein in their body, and they are refused treatment for that blockage....while anyone else with a blockage is given the option for treatment of that blockage.

I am not looking at this as a sure all treatment for the cure of MS. I am looking at this from the angle that some citizens in this country have blockages and are refused treatment for such...and as I said before, I do not think it is in anyone's best interest to have a blockage that goes untreated in their body.

And to make it worse, MS patients are not even afforded an ultrasound to check if a blockage exists.
