I am not trumpeting this liberation treatment as a cure all for MS. And I fully realize that it is a very complicated disease, and is neurological in nature.

Whether the stents or angioplasty will end up giving any relief, partial relief, lasting relief, I do not know. But these people are plain outright told that it is not available for them here in Canada. Even that much I could accept and I think they could accept, but why are they not even afforded an ultrasound to see if they even have blockage? so they can then make choices or arrangements to try this treatment elsewhere? Can we not give even that much assistance to these people?

Our friend with MS went from being Chief Operating Officer of a major oil company to being wheelchair bound and having lymphoma, which by the way is 99% surely the result of the treatment he has been receiving for MS which has not worked or given him relief.

And now he can not even get a doctor to refer him to get an ultrasound? That is asking too much?
