As Canada continues to deny MSers CCSVI treatment, more and more patients are turned to Mexico as the answer for CCSVI close to
home. Here, the story of one Canadian man and his journey to Mexico for

CCSVI treatment and ultimately liberation from his wheelchair.

Liberation Changed My Life: Manitoba Man.
Global News, Regina.

A Manitoba man who suffers from multiple sclerosis says his life has changed dramatically. He’s just returned from Mexico, where he underwent
the controversial Liberation treatment, a procedure not available in

Canada.

With a picturesque Mexican beach behind him, Gord Park celebrated 60 years with new hope. “My future was really uncertain, ever since I was
23 years old,” says Park.

Once a member of the Winnipeg Police Service, Park says his life forever changed when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 37 years
ago.

The deterioration was slow, but for the past six years he’s been in a wheelchair. He’s tried everything from hyper baric chambers to
chemotherapy to find relief, but nothing has worked. But a year and a

half ago he found new hope. A potentially ground-breaking MS treatment

pioneered by an Italian doctor attempting to cure his wife from the

disease.

The controversial procedure called CCSVI was said to offer relief by clearing blocked veins, only it was wasn’t offered in Canada. “I can’t
afford to go, but I can’t afford not to go,” said Park during a CCSVI

Rally at the Manitoba Legislature in September. Officials in Manitoba

still don’t know when the procedure may be offered here so Gord, found

the money and strength to travel to Mexico where it was.

“It was out of my hands, I just let go and let god and let god take care of what was going to happen,” says Park. Gord admits his hopes
were high to walk. That didn’t happen. But for the first time in years,

he can feel his legs and has the energy to move behind a

walker. “That’s a huge improvement, in my situation, that’s just

enormous,” says Park.

“It’s just thrilling that in a year that something can change so drastically in your life. it was worth every penny,” explains Pam Buhr,
Gord’s wife.

Rather than waking up wondering what’s not working with his body, Gord Park says it’s now liberating to wake up to what is.
