How Can You Sleep at Night by Bob McCallum--You sit in your office and take the advise of the MS Society - facebook prikbord

You sit in your office and take the advise of the MS Society that they need to study the relationship of CCSVI and MS before clinical
trials can even be considered. No treatment options are on the horizon,

because even if there is ever a hint of clinical trials, the society

will drag it out as long as possible. Oh, let us move under the

direction of the CIHR, that had a review panel that was loaded with

neurologists, many with conflicts of interest with the pharmaceutical

industry.

Plain and simple, CCSVI is a disease on its own merits. Yet you dictate to the system that MS people are not
allowed to be treated. In fact your system will not allow MS people to

be tested.

How can you sleep at night? Print this email and take it home or to your hotel and read it while you are in bed
and put yourself in the shoes. May you awake in the morning and

realize what a discriminatory atrocity you are allowing to occur in our

province and Canada.
