My understanding is it would take at least 5 million dollars to fund a proper clinical trial. In my mind, if you weigh the risk / reward, this thing should thing should have been started yesterday.
However, we have the MS Society spending one million, and the Alberta Government spending one million, over an extended period of time...to find out what?...if they should go ahead and spend a few extra million.
My goodness, we pay Iginla more than it would cost to fund a trial. With so many sufferers, and more and more people spending large amounts of money going abroad to have the procedure, my question is why in heavens name is it taking so long for someone or some group, or the Government to come up with the money to do the trial?
