The provincial Government is being asked to provide support to the controversial therapy for multiple sclerosis. The backbench Nova Scotia legislature member have been asking them to lend support.

The NDP Government is being urged to put up $5 million for medical trials for the treatment, known as liberation therapy by Alfie MacLeod,
Tory MLA for Cape Breton West. This has been done in the form of a

private member's bill.

This is reportedly not available in Canada and is also not covered by provincial health insurance policies. MacLeod is however not alone in this, he is being supported
by several people, who had gone for a trip to Eastern Europe, Mexico or

New York to have the treatment. This treatment is said to involve

angioplasty which helps to ease the flow in neck veins of blood from the

brain to the heart.

MacLeod’s wife too is said dot have benefited from the treatment and therefore supports it.

"From my own personal experience, I believe in the liberation therapy. I only have to watch my wife Shirley get out of bed, get out of
her wheelchair, get out of our car”, he said.
