Not surprising. Even the Canadian government is in cahoots with big pharma. :rolleyes: They don't want to find a solution that might take $$ out of their own pockets.

On FaceBook I see stories about Canadian residents fighting with parliment all the time. They are really angry! Many are demanding that CCSVI treatment become available and paid for NOW! I know many folks see this CCSVI and see instant cure, but I for one am more cautious. I think we need reliable trials, educated results, and then some proven techniques that are not allowing stents to rip thru brain stems or wander into folks hearts after coming loose. I am so hopeful, but also so worried.

I can completely understand the passion, but I am hoping that more proof comes up the line before we start risking our most fragile human friends as bait for money makers.

I HATE big pharma, and they should be quite afraid if this turns out to be half as good as we think it may be. I just hope these clinical trials are held to a high standard.

They'll fund stupid and obvious things|!!

Newsbot is really starting to tick me off! :D:p:D
