Saskatchewan Premier Calls for Clinical Trials
Saskatchewan Premier Calls for Clinical Trials
FYI--Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has just announced his province is ready to fund human trials of the Liberation Procedure.
This appears to be actual treatment trials. Hopefully, other provinces may follow his lead--or better still--allow treatment.

Good grief, this is actually encouraging.
This is all many of us have been saying for months and months. We know it's not proven - we're not stupid. But we also know that continuing to ignore the mounting anecdotal evidence is, to be polite, naive."There isn't unanimity on the issue, I understand that," Wall said Tuesday. "But we also know anecdotally and otherwise, frankly, of reasons for some optimism and some hope about the liberation treatment, so maybe it is time for clinical trials and ... the province of Saskatchewan is willing to play a funding role."

This is a complete 180 from the responses I recieved last month from Mr. Wall and the Saskatchewan Minister of Health, Don McMorris..........among others. Very encouraging. Definitely changes my follow up letter. I will not stop my campaigning perchance this announcement was lip-service to shut us up.
I believe this is the first public announcement by a provincial representative, and it should be used to try and convince other provinces to follow suit.........all of you out there campaigning, please include this in your correspondance with your provincial officials.

I wonder what this wonderful announcement will mean practically? There already is a clinical trial set to get underway shortly at the MS Clinic in Saskatoon.

Will they simply be contributing funds to this study? Or, are they hoping to fund a larger study on CCSVI treatment? I hope it's the latter as I care more about whether the treatment actually works rather than worrying so much about how its relationship to MS might be theoretically explained.
