The debate continues over value of treatment

e, Poland Evening Times report

many people with MS find debilitating. A report by Glasgow Evening Times journalist Brian Beacom –who travelled with Tiger Tim to Poland – said the DJ was able to move the toes on is left foot and use his left hand to hold a fork, neither of which he had been able to do

for a number of years. Another Katowice

visitor was Barry McArthur from Shawlands, Glasgow. His symptoms were less severe than Tiger Tim’s and following his operation he was able to stand up unaided, having previously been confined to a wheelchair. One US patient who

had been unable to walk without crutches saw a dramatic improvement and the following day was planning a shopping trip in Katowice, taking her crutches along only because her daughter insisted she might need them. Allan Macdearmid

from Aberdeen was among the first Scots to have the treatment, paying around £6,500 to visit a hospital in Germany last month. Having endured

painful leg spasms nightly for 20 years, he said they disappeared after the treatment and he was thrilled he no longer had to take painkillers every night just to get to sleep.
