Recently there was a breaking news on a new treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is thought to be an autoimmune-related ailment. Currently MS patients are under the care of neurologists. Now an Italian doctor thinks blocked blood vessels are the causes of this debilitating disease. And a surgical procedure, similar to angioplasty, an accepted and proven medical practice, called Liberation, can help lessen MS symptoms, hence sufferings.
Dr. Paolo Zamboni’s theory on the MS seems to be plausible. We all know blood is life. If for any reason its conduit, blood vessels, fails to function, serious disease ensues. A few of MS suffers had the procedure and found good results. Some of them got to start walking again. Now due to the lack of research on this new treatment for MS, hospitals in both America and Canada are not allowed to provide Liberation treatments. Despite the prohibition, desperate MS patients now seek the treatment in overseas hospitals.
First I commend the medical professions for their cautious stance on this new discovery. But in the meantime, they should also respect their patients’ need as well. - Ayee
