Dødsfald efter liberation?

Har lige fået tilsendt et link til denne historie: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2010/11/18/multiple-sclerosis-vein-death-costa-rica-mostic.html?ref=rss%26cmp=AFC-I78V04166919

Er der nogen der kender noget til den - er det bare en del af kampagnen mod liberation eller er der noget i det?

Ontario man dies after MS vein opening

An Ontario man with multiple sclerosis died of complications after a controversial treatment in Costa Rica to open up his neck veins, CBC News has learned.

Mahir Mostic, 35, of St. Catharines died on Oct. 16, one day after doctors in the Central American country tried to dissolve a blood-clot complication.

"We didn’t find exactly what happened with Mahir, but I mean it was very terrible story for us," vascular surgeon Dr. Marcial Fallas of Clinica Biblica in San Jose said Thursday.

"He was a person that was looking [for] some way to improve his life. He found that for a short period of time his life improved."

After Mostic paid nearly $14,000 US to go to Costa Rica for treatment in late June, a mesh stent was inserted to prop open a vein in his neck.

When he returned to St. Catharines after receiving the stent, he was "full of hope. He was so happy, like a little boy," a neighbour recalled.

But his MS symptoms started getting worse and a blood clot formed around the stent in the vein, Fallas said. Mostic flew back to Costa Rica for treatment, but died in hospital there.

Unable to walk
Mostic had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis three or four years ago. When he first sought the vein-opening procedure, he hadn't walked for 18 months.

Angioplasty, inflating small balloons to open up arteries, is commonly done for heart patients. But it is not an approved procedure for unblocking neck veins in MS patients in Canada.

Italian doctor Dr. Paulo Zamboni is a leading proponent of treating multiple sclerosis with angioplasty. The therapy is based on an unproven theory, known as chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI), that blocked veins in the neck or spine are to blame for MS.

In April, Zamboni warned patients attending the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting in Toronto against using stents — small mesh coils — because of the high risk of the stents moving and lack of knowledge about their long-term effects.

He has urged clinical trials involving angioplasty for MS patients.

Glemte at skrive at historien er blevet offentliggjort i dag. Jeg har ikke kunnet finde den andre steder end her eller på nogen af de internationale CCSVI eller MS sider, så det ser lidt underligt ud.

Læste samme historie..men skrevet på anden måde for et stykke tid siden.

At han havde fået stent, som der blev problemer med, og han døde senere , fordi det canadiske hospital ikke ville hjælpe..lagde artiklen ind som link et sted herinde. Tror at det er den samme historie.

Så er det måske bare et opkog på en gammel historie. Den så lidt underlig ud, synes jeg. Meget upræcis og ikke nogen kommentarer fra f.eks. læger i Canada eller deres scleroseforening.

Her er, hvad der har været på TIMS om dødsfaldet. Lægerne i Canada nægtede at hjælpe ham.

Der var i lang tid tvivl om, om historien i det hele taget var rigtig, eller bare sat i gang af "modstandere". Det er nu vist imidlertid rigtig nok. Nu har neurologerne noget at hænge deres har på igen. De samme neurologer nævner intet om de 14 tysabri-dødsfald.
