An article on CBC News reports on interest among Canadians in an experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis being investigated in the U.S. and Italy, and quotes Robert Zivadinov, professor of neurology, who said his team has been contacted by 8,000 MS patients in the past three weeks, and the queries continue to pour in. The article also quotes Bianca Weinstock-Guttman, associate professor of neurology. A similar article on CTV reports a medical center in British Columbia says it wants to become the first in Canada to test the new theory, and quotes Zivadinov.
