00:00Once that switch is on, it's just like, it's just a countdown.
00:08Multiple sclerosis remains a mystery. No cure exists.
00:12You have MS and you're done, right?
00:14We don't want that for anybody.
00:17All of a sudden, I get a phone call that Matt had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
00:23I literally almost collapsed. I mean, I couldn't believe it.
00:27When you're like looking right in the eye of it, that's the darkness, right?
00:36Immediately your mind starts saying, okay, we have to try and figure out what the heck's going on.
00:41Where the industry wants to go is produce a drug, and that becomes their product.
00:47They just fell from a scam.
00:50$6,000 a month for a drug? That does nothing?
00:55It's up to the MS Society to marshal hope.
00:58Drug companies have a conflict of interest.
01:00They want to sell their drugs and they need somebody to promote it.
01:03The MS Society is a good vehicle to do that sort of thing.
01:06Eventually it's going to kill me. Just help me, man.
01:14My brother researched every aspect of this.
01:17Science is it all. To me, you've got to have hard science. That's it.
01:22The prescription that it's only downhill is not correct.
01:27A Calgary man diagnosed with MS is speaking out tonight.
01:31He and his father are now setting out on a free speaking tour.
01:34This is information that you're not going to get from your neurologist or the MS Society.
01:39They're not going to let you keep saying what you're saying without trying to squash you.
01:46I am holding a letter that was sent to me from the Multiple Sclerosis Society threatening me with a potential lawsuit.
01:53Tonight is about hope, and we're going to get some MS hope on board, alright?
01:58After 45 years, I should be dead and I'm not.
02:16And that's when I know recovery is possible.
02:20If I can get out there and spread the message and even change one or two people's lives, then that's what I've got to do.
02:28It's worth before.
02:54Let me get out of here.
