Re: "Alberta to fund study into MS 'liberation treatment'," Dec. 17.

I agree with Warren Stefenyk that this new study is an unnecessary, three-year stalling tactic. There is plenty of research already to warrant proceeding with clinical trials immediately. Please see this link http://www.medscape.com/view-article/732683to the study released by Dr. Marian Simka's team showing the procedure to be "safe and well tolerated" after treating 347 multiple sclerosis patients in his clinic in Poland. Health Minister Gene Zwozdesky has been ignoring Simka's report since I sent it to him on Sept. 3, 2010. It is also completely ridiculous that Dr. Tom Feasby blindly accepts the "anecdotal evidence of risk" but not the unprecedented anecdotal evidence demonstrating the benefits of Dr. Paolo Zamboni's procedure.
