Patients with multiple sclerosis who claim they’ve benefited from the so-called “liberation therapy” say city neurologists are stirring up needless fear about the controversial treatment.
New research by University of Calgary researchers has documented serious complications among five MS sufferers who travelled abroad for angioplasty or surgical stenting of veins that drain blood from the brain.
This comment seems to be . . . a little silly. And perhaps an indication the emotion of the situation (and perhaps people getting a little ahead of themselves?):
Dr Bill Code, a board member of a national organization that advocates on behalf of MS patients who’ve received the treatment, said the peer-reviewed study is an attempt by neurologists to protect their medical turf.
“They’re trying to create a murmur in the media that this therapy is dangerous when most of the time it’s safe,” said Code, “because their egos are hurt and their research dollars are threatened.”
