A dodgy treatment bites the dust!
http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/multiple-sclerosis-liberation-therapy-clinical-trial-1.4014494A new study at the University of British Columbia has produced a "definitive debunking" of a controversial procedure that surgically widens neck veins as a treatment for multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Anthony Traboulsee has released the results of a $5.5-million clinical trial he believes will deliver the final death blow to so-called liberation therapy.
For years, MS patients have been travelling around the world and paying thousands of dollars for an unproven procedure to widen their neck veins. Some insist it has changed their life. Many of them say it did nothing. An unfortunate few died from post-surgical complications.
