Bionic Legs allow paralyzed man to walk again

I know this really has nothing to do with CCSVI but the interesting question is that the cost of Liberation surgery is a lot less money than 150K for robotic legs when we can't walk anymore. Please note that the person who developed these legs has MS. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20100715/ro...

Christmas Gift Giving Idea

Have someone on your list who is hard to buy for? You can make a donation "In Tribute" for that person. You still get the tax receipt (if donation is over $25) and they are sent a card which you can personalize. It's a win-win situation. https://www.worldclasshealthcare.ca/howtogive Please...
