One year later, MS patients track their progress

[MSUK]

A year later, five Canadian multiple sclerosis patients have reported their progress to CTV News, and there are positive signs for some from a new MS treatment.

Last year, Lianne Webb was flattened by fatigue -- the result of a decade of living with multiple sclerosis. But 14 months after receiving a highly debated treatment known as liberation therapy, Webb says she feels more energetic than she has in years.

I would assume there were at least another 500 Canadians who went through the CCSVI procedure. What about them? As far as I am concerned, I see more restenosed veins and deteriorating conditions after restenoses here on different threads then long-term sustainable improvements.

If we say CCSVI operation is a "new MS treatment", then please monitor MS symptoms. Many of us got worse after restenoses happened. If clinics do not care about follow-ups and no neurologists are involved in monitoring (in fact no one is monitoring), then how will you know about improvements or deteriorations?

This article is about the few lucky Canadians who were able to be treated through Dr. McDonald before the College of Physicians and Surgeons forced him to stop. As I understand it, Dr. McDonald did not charge for these procedures. He has has been trying since then to get approval and funding for a trial.

It's time to let Dr. McDonald get on with it--Now!
