Hello to all that run this big Country called Canada.

 I would like to say sorry that I have not written any of you lately. 

With the election and the uncertainty of not knowing

who I would be writing to I decided to take a little break and enjoy my new life with my family.

 My wife, Jenny, had a venoplasty procedure 9 months ago in San Diego where her venous system was restored to the function of where it was meant to be.  

Before this venoplasty procedure to restore proper blood flow I was at the point of getting home support for my wife as it was getting too hard for my son and I to provide care.

Jenny is now using her walker or canes on a regular basis instead of relying on her power chair.

 Noah’s mom can get dressed without his help. My wife can get in and out of bed and walk up and down the stairs without assistance. I have fallen in love with my wife all over again thanks to an interventional radiologist and a brilliant doctor from Italy that never gave up fighting for his wife.    

Canada, I am pleading with all levels of government that you will stand up and do what is right.

Those whom are suffering from this venous abnormality known as CCSVI need to be treated. 

 This improper blood flow causes cells to die off due to toxins that build up in the brain.

The heart pumps freshly oxygenated blood through the arteries that keep cells alive and the veins remove the impurities. If toxins are allowed to build up anywhere in your body it will cause cells to die off. The human brain and body can repair its self when given the chance.

There are over 12 thousand people world wide whom have had their venous system restored!! They are the proof!!

Canada, why is the government putting neurologists in charge of studying CCSVI when it is a vascular disorder that should be studied by interventional radiologists?

I have asked many times who our advocate is in the Canadian medical system, and who runs it?

The neurologists that are investigating CCSVI are also the same neurologists that have stated that they do not believe in CCSVI. The same neurologists who are supposedly studying CCSVI have been, or are still associated with, pharmaceutical companies. How can we trust doctors who receive grant money for studies, money for presentations or that get paid holidays to attend conferences by pharmaceutical companies? Is this not a conflict of interest?

I thought every Canadian was entitled to health care with no prejudice.

This was proven wrong as those with the neurologically owned label known as MS have been denied treatment for venous abnormalities.

 Again, I make a plea with the government of Canada to step in and do what is right.

I can not sit by and wait when thousands of Canadians are left to suffer with improper blood flow when they could be treated in Canadian hospitals and possibly have some relief from their so-called once upon a time autoimmune disorder symptoms. 

Sincerely Husband in love all over again,

Lorin Powell
