MICHAEL LORTIE CONSIDERS HIMSELF A NEW PERSON--- HE SAYS HE IS NOW ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT UP UNTIL RECENTLY HAVE BEEN OUT OF REACH.

MIKE LORTIE:

" NOW I CAN SEE COLOURS, AND I SAW THE COLOURS THE VERY NEXT DAY."

LORTIE CAN NOW SEE OUT OF HIS LEFT EYE--- HIS SPEECH--- AND MOBILITY ALL IMPROVED DRASTICALLY.

SEPTEMBER 16TH WAS THE DAY LORTIE'S LIFE CHANGED.

HE DECIDED TO GO TO COSTA RICA TO RECEIVE A CONTROVERSIAL SURGERY CALLED LIBERATION TREATMENT.

THE 20 THOUSAND DOLLAR TREATMENT, DEVELOPED BY ITALIAN DOCTOR PAOLO (PAULO) ZAMBONI, IS BASED ON THE THEORY THAT BLOCKED VEINS IN THE NECK ARE LINKED TO M-S. BY OPENING THOSE VEINS, MOVEMENT WILL BE RESTORED FOR PEOPLE WITH THE DISEASE.

MIKE LORTIE:

"I LABELED IT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING TO EVERYBODY, A JOURNEY TO FREEDOM AND IT IS LIKE FREEDOM."

ACCORDING TO LORTIE, THE LIBERATION TREATMENT HAS ALREADY WORKED WONDERS.

THIS IS THE 45 YEAR OLD WALKING BEFORE THE TREATMENT.

AND THIS IS HIM WALKING AFTER THE TREATMENT.

MICHAEL LORTIE:

"THE DROP FOOT IS PRETTY MUCH GONE AND SINCE THE PROCEDURE I HAVE NOT WORN MY LEG BRACE WHICH IS A REALLY NICE FEELING NOT TO HAVE TO PUT IT ON EVERY SINGLE MORNING."

AILEEN YOUNG:

"THE COLOUR IN HIS FACE AS SOON AS HE CAME BACK INTO THE ROOM HE WASN'T THE PASTY PALE COLOUR HE HAD ROSY CHEEKS AGAIN HIS BROWN EYES JUST SNAPPING, HIS SPEECH WAS ALMOST INSTANTLY SMOOTHER HIS SENTENCES THEY FLOWED HE WASN'T SEARCHING FOR WORDS."

MORGANNE CAMPBELL:

"THERE ARE NEARLY 75,000 CANADIANS LIVING WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS--A DEGENERATIVE DISEASE THAT ATTACKS THE MYELIN SHEATH--WHICH SURROUNDS THE NERVES IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

THE DISEASE IS PROGRESSIVE, STRIKING MOSTLY YOUNG PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15 AND 40."

THE CONTROVERSIAL SURGERY HAS RECEIVED MIXED REVIEWS FROM THE WORLD'S MEDICAL COMMUNITY.

DR. ROBERT ZIVADINOV:

"IT WILL TAKE A NUMBER OF YEARS TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE IS ANY VALUE IN SUCH AN APPROACH."

LIBERATION TREATMENT IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE IN ONTARIO.

THAT'S WHY HUNDREDS OF MEN AND WOMEN LEAVE CANADA EVERY MONTH AND HEAD TO COUNTRIES THAT OFFER THE EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE.

MIKE LORTIE:

" WHAT'S THE PRICE OF FREEDOM, WHAT'S THE PRICE OF YOUR HEALTH"

THE PROVINCE OF SASKATCHEWAN STARTED TO FUND CLINICAL TRIALS THIS PAST JULY-A FIRST IN CANADA.

SOME MEMBERS OF THE ONTARIO'S CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROVINCE FOLLOW SASKATCHEWAN'S LEAD AND BEGIN VIGOUROUS TESTING.

STEVE CLARK:

" I REALLY THINK ALL OF THE PROVINCES NEED TO MOVE FORWARD, WE NEED TO BAND TOGETHER AND WE NEED TO DO THE CLINICAL TRIALS BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE FOR HELP. "

BUT ACCORDING TO THE M-S SOCIETY IN KINGSTON, MORE TESTING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THE PROCEDURE IS BROUGHT INTO CANADIAN HOSPITALS.

MARIE WELLES:

" THE POSITION OF THE MS SOCIETY IS "CCSV"I IS IT'S NOT PROVEN BUT IT'S NOT DISMISSED."

THE MS SOCIETIES OF CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE INVESTED OVER THREE MILLION DOLLARS INTO FUNDING RESEARCH PROGRAMS AND CLINICAL TRIALS INTO DR. ZAMBONI'S TREATMENT.

MARIE WELLES:

"THEY'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA TO EXPEDITE THAT THIS GETS ROLLING VERY QUICKLY."

EVERYDAY IN CANADA THREE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY ARE DIAGNOSED WITH MS...FOR THEM, EVERYDAY COUNTS.

UNTIL A CURE IS FOUND, THE CONTROVERSIAL LIBERATION TREATMENT BRINGS HOPE FOR THOSE BATTLING THE PROGRESSIVE DISEASE. MORGANNE CAMPBELL CKWS NEWSWATCH KINGSTON.

MICHAEL LORTIE:

" IT TRULY IS AN EXPERIENCE AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD NOT CHANGE FOR THE WORLD."
