So NO, the pharmaceutical industry gets no praise from me. They were too busy making money on the likes of Viagra and indigestion pills during that time.

We work with Health Canada a lot. I have a device going through approval for treating MS up there now. Medically, the FDA and Health Canada are very in-tuned.
