Virtually no major news effort has followed this theory in the United States.
The need for coverage is mounting thousands of MS patients are filling chat rooms on their Facebook pages and other internet outlets demanding to be noticed.
It is being followed extensively in Canada. Many people are having to fly to Poland to get treatment for this venous condition.There are protests in every major city in Canada May 5th asking the government why they cannot be treated.
