Who or what is the medical community observing? who in the medical community? Are any med docs in Canada going doing the procedure like in the US?

They will be aggregating responses from those who have gone out of country for treatment. No real details yet, but it will most likely be run through the MS clinics (neuros). There is no where in Canada where we can be treated.
