Maureen Aquila, Darren’s sister says, “They were so excited that they could go somewhere to get treatment, it’s a tragedy that they have to travel so far to get this help but the government gives them no choice. Why not collaborate with doctors in these countries? They’ve received an unbelievable level of care”.His mom Darlene interjects, “They have been treated like gold, they did the procedure while they were awake, Darren was naseaus for a day but he noticed immediate improvement, the pain was gone his vision improved, he said that everything was “so brilliant”, he finally could sleep through a night without pain, his hands don’t tingle any more”.Maureen adds,TV cameras are ready as a vehicle draws closer and stops to let Maryanne, Darren and Louanne out. Having just completed a thirty hour trip that began in India with stops in Newark, New Jersey, Kalispel Montana and now Jaffray, the trio should be worn out but surprisingly they come in looking rested and refreshed. There is a radiance to their faces that is inextinguishable. This is shocking because when they left at the beginning of September to receive experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis they weren’t well.

“We were met at the airport by people in suits, they took us to the hospital and got us accomodated, they are the most polite people in the world, they have someone to do every little thing, there were so many of them that we almost got no rest, the door was swinging all day long, many tests were done before the procedure was done. We brought information to share here in Canada. There has been a benefit for each one of us, an overall increase in energy”. Darren adds, “I had a blockage in my chest, I wasn’t sedated, I could feel everything we were well looked after. He says that every test was done before the treatment, thirty six thousand dollars spent annually and all it did was make him sick. Maryanne says she had, “A bit of a bump, they found two blockages and my jugular vein was twisted like a ribbon, there was no blood flow there, but when they got through it was like a light bulb went bright. It was like opening a pipe, of twenty-six problems I suffered with all but two has been reversed”. Maryanne says her doctor gave her his cell number so she could contact him in case she needed anything before she returned home, “he wanted to make sure I was okay to get home”.
