Research groups that want to conduct clinical trials of the “liberation” procedure for multiple sclerosis can now submit their plans for consideration, as Saskatchewan takes another step toward testing the unproven treatment.

The Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) on Friday issued a formal call for proposals, which looks to answer the question of whether the liberation procedure “is a safe and effective treatment for MS patients to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.”

The Saskatchewan government has pledged $5 million to finance clinical trials of the procedure, which involves angioplasty to open veins in the neck.

Researchers need to meet a number of requirements to be eligible for potential funding, including that at least a portion of the research team be from Saskatchewan, the SHRF said.

Top right: Zucchini Bread. I made it using sprouted quinoa, soaked almonds, zucchini, and one or two other ingredients. It needs improving… I’ll have to think about this one for a while.

Bottom Right: Nori Snack Bites. I made Cauliflower Zucchini Pizza Crusts and they turned out waaay to crumbly to do anything with except well, turn into crumbs. So I did. I crumbled them into a measuring cup, added a bit of water, and made nori snack bites. They’re in the dehydrator now. I’ll let you know if they’re any good.
