The biggest problem is health care is run by drug companies in North America (yes...canada too) and when a procedure comes around that alleviates symptoms and reduces drug dependencies, of course the govt is going to steer away from it.

The MS society is as guilty as the govt here. They are also sponsored and kept afloat by drug company donations.

THis year if you donate to the MS society make sure you write 'For CCVSI only". We don't know if that helps yet but it is a step for the society.

Both North American Medical societies and the MS society need to remove their head from their asses and start helping people.

Ugh.
