Disappointing Article in Victoria Times Colonist

Here is an article I came across this morning, regarding a radiologist on the island and 2 MS patients from Vancouver I believe??? Any chance they are on here?

Question about CCSVI and Age!

Hi Everyone, Soooo much info here, this very well may have already been answered but I cannot find it! I am curious about what research has said regarding people who have CCSVI and the age of onset of MS.

Needless to sa...
