Disabled woman ejected from Mac's store

Company apologizes for clerk's actions

A University of Windsor student is filing a human rights complaint after she was asked to leave a Mac's store because of her service dog.

Julie Holmes has multiple sclerosis and relies on a wheelchair and a specially trained service dog to get around.

"I went to Mac's to get a drink and I was asked to leave because of my service dog," said Holmes, who relies on her dog Fancy to act as her arms when she can't reach service counters.

Stem Cells in Menstrual Blood


They Can Even Become Neurons

(Posted By: Josi Creek)


Since I have Multiple Sclerosis, I am always trying to be on top of new research. In the beginning, stem cells seemed out of reach for most people. Now, as technology is developing, researchers are finding out more about stem cells, and different places they can be obtained.
One of the major barriers preventing widespread use of stem cells in therapeutic clinics is the great difficulty of collecting a large number of stem cells from any single person. But this isn’t because our bodies don’t have many stem cells; they are, in fact, present in most tissues. Rather, there are few tissues that freely shed their cells on a regular basis and in great quantity.

Care for clinical trial participants may be expanded

(Posted By: Josi Creek)

HARTFORD — The General Assembly’s Insurance and Real Estate Committee this week approved bills that expand coverage of routine care costs for patients who participate in certain clinical trials and change requirements for disclosing records.
Sen. Joseph J. Crisco Jr., D-Woodbridge, said one piece of legislation would help patients who stand to be denied coverage through their health insurance provider.
Managed care organizations, health insurers or utilization review companies are not required to disclose all records on how a decision was reached for denial.
Senate Bill 258, An Act Concerning Appeals of Health Insurance Benefits Denials, would require that records be disclosed upon the patient’s request.
A separate piece of legislation, Senate Bill 260, An Act Concerning Health Insurance Coverage for Routine Patient Care Costs for Clinical Trial Patients, would expand coverage of routine costs for those participating in clinical trials on multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

OTTAWA — As Evan Thornton sees it, the relatively new and still-controversial surgery he’s about to have in Poland has no real drawbacks, and it’s a chance to get rid of the symptoms he’s been dealing with for the past decade.
