Two MPs push Liberals to go positive for a change.Citaat:
Carolyn Bennett and Kirsty Duncan, both Toronto MPs, gave a passionate and substantive presentation about multiple sclerosis and the reluctance of governments in Canada to recognize through funding a new and controversial procedure to diagnose and treat it.
Citaat:
They laid out what the Liberals could do to help Canadians who have the disease: push the federal government to provide $10-million to help research the new hypothesis that MS is not an auto-immune disease but a condition caused by “chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency” (CCSVI), which is a narrowing of veins that prevents the blood from draining from the brain efficiently.
They also want people with MS to have access to diagnostic imaging for possible blocked veins; now, many of them would have to go to the United States and pay thousands of dollars to be evaluated.
Citaat:
“I am not saying CCSVI causes MS. I’m just saying give people an opportunity.”
