Talking about CTV British Columbia – MS patients claim discrimination in treatment access – CTV News
Friends Rick Pereira and Martin Dimitov both suffer from MS. Every day, Pereira visits a Burnaby care home to help Dimitov.
Though both were diagnosed at the same time, Dimitov’s symptoms are so advanced, his vision is eroding daily. The former semi-professional soccer player can’t sort out his vitamins without assistance.
Many MS patients believe that a simple vascular procedure can ease and even eradicate the debilitating effects of MS.
Dimitov and Pereira both say that the so-called “liberation” or “zamboni” treatment is like pulling a drowning person out of the ocean.
“Because it treats the cause, it would definitely help. All the evidence is showing that everybody who has had this done has been helped in one way or another,” Pereira told CTV News.
