An Ottawa man who travelled to Poland more than a year ago for a controversial multiple sclerosis treatment says the recent announcement that Canada will fund clinical trials of the procedure doesn't go far enough.
"While it's good to see research go forward, this is very limited in scope,"
said 51-yearold Evan Thornton by phone, adding that he hopes the research includes interventional radiology practitioners, not just the same people from the past several decades who tend to prefer prescribing pharmaceuticals. "I'm hoping that the people overseeing this study aren't the people who appear to have had the minister's ear up to now."
