To blame this tragic incident only on the Canadian doctor's is insane. Another part of the equation is this gentleman (and father) went over seas to get a procedure performed that has not been proven safe. ... Although I completely disagree with much of the medical tourism taking place at this time...

According to a Dr. on another site I go on, there is a massive difference between blood thinners and anticoagulants. Mr. Mostic was put on anti-coagulants which is a very big mistake with venous blockages.

Tyr, I understand much of what you're going through. I was undiagnosed at 28 and the issues I was having caused a break-up in a relationship with a girl I was ready to propose to. At the time I had penile hyper-sensitivity, bowel and bladder issues, fatigue, etc. Doctors told me it was chronic stres...

1eye, Your post shows my point exactly of how people are perpetuating the idea that MS is a symptom that can be treated by liberation.

Asher, I really like your viewpoint, and I have felt for a long time that there needs to be more realistic viewpoints expressed here. There are far too many people believing that there is no MS, only CCSVI. I am not a skeptic. I believe CCSVI exists and there is a major correlation with MS. I believ...

Sask. doesn't plan to wait for national trials By Hannah Scissons, Saskatchewan News Network; Postmedia News August 18, 2010 It's great news that Manitoba is calling for nationwide clinical trials of a controversial treatment for multiple sclerosis, says Saskatchewan's health minister, but the provi...

Although my opinions regarding the MS Society and their role differ from your own, I will not even attempt to dissuade you from your beliefs as you are obviously passionate about how you feel. However, I would like to simply ask that you refrain from calling people [removed]. Antagonizing people wit...

Just got the newspaper. FRONT PAGE!!!!!!!!!! End of the article ends with a downer though........research still has to be approved by the biomedical ethics board. The UofS study took over a year to be approved........hopefully with the support of our government it won't take as long. People really h...

I think if this was about the Saskatoon trial, they would have mentioned it. They definitely knew about it because it was in their response letter to me.

I have high hopes that they're referring to treatment trials.
