Thankyou a fantastic find xx

They do seem to be on the ball some months ago they did send the pharmo's off with a view to cut their cost of meds supplied to the NHS . Nice were not happy with their findings on the meds supplied....

I ticked Central nervous system and Blood and immune system
was that the correct ones to tick or would you suggest another ?

This was picked up on a Google Alert for CCSVI. I've since set the NHS mail-out to monitor this specific topic.
