Petition

A petition is being circulated for Canadians that wish to push Health Canada to step up investigation of CCSVI and to make the liberation treatment available to people with MS: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/the-liberation-procedure.html


Unfortunately, I don't like some of the wording in the petition.  My problem with it is that it appears to say that MS is not an autoimmune disease, but what I've gleaned from the ThisIsMS forum is that though the initial cause may be CCSVI in most cases, the reaction of the immune system to the iron passing the BBB and the brain cell damage then takes it into an autoimmune disease phase. So setting ourselves up as being "anti-autoimmune disease" is not what we want to do.
