For example, David Hubbard, a well-known neurologist in San Diego, broke ranks with colleagues after performing the procedure on his son, who has MS. He now offers it to others and is collecting results as part of a clinical study.

“It’s easy for the academics to say, ‘Let’s wait until all the research is done,’ but it’s just not fair to the patients,” Dr. Hubbard said in a recent interview. “Patients are not willing to wait.”

I suggest that a Canadian CCSVI advocate is needed to engage with the Globe & Mail. The journalist needs help with collecting data and preparing facts about CCSVI. Is the no one in Canada able and willing to do this ???

PS this is not a small task but worth it...........

Judging from the google response to the four words "serono globe and mail" they are still sitting on that story. I suspect somebody keeps them from saying anything much that is positive about CCSVI.

Like I said, the absence of news is sometimes news, and in this case, it is something the Globe and Mail's competitors might want to know about. Or say, CTV?

Today's wrinkle is that all the states want a piece of the settlement. In G & M? Nope.
