New Book About Multiple Sclerosis in Scotland Is Announced
(National PR Wire - September 2, 2008) | Industry and Country : Publishing | United States of America
Wind and Ponies is part travelogue and part medical treatise. The book describes what it was like to carry out multiple sclerosis research in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, remote places of unparalleled beauty. The rate of multiple sclerosis in the islands is the highest in the world. The islanders didn’t always move at the same frenetic and impatient speed that the Americans who were studying them did. The Americans had to slow down, which was good for them.
Something of importance was found in the islands, but it was ignored by the medical establishment because of competing agendas. The author challenges the researchers to do the hard work necessary to rid the world of an illness that affects over two million people.
