Goats for Medicine.

Now what is the relation between goats, a Model T and MS (multiple sclerosis)? Old car nut & webfriend Bas de Voogd explains: "Multiple Sclerosis is a terrible disabling desease. Worldwide there are millions who suffer and see their daily life affected. I regard myself as one of the lucky ones who suffers from MS but can still enjoy the use of vintage cars. Partly overcome by modifying my MG (click for the MG VA "Automatic" ) and otherwise because my other car is a Model T, which is easy to master with one working leg! Hopes are high now for a new medicine which in tests has proven to work for 85% of all MS patients. It is based on -believe it or not- goats blood (DavalInternational.com). Problem is that the procedure to make this new medicine available to all MS patients is taking far too much time. Therefore a group of MS patients has set up a petition to speed up government procedures. Your help is highly appreciated if you will consider
to sign this petition.
