The New Brunswick Liberals need to move quickly on their vow to reopen the investigation into a mysterious brain disease afflicting hundreds of people
Susan Holt , the Liberal Leader who saw her party elected to a strong majority in New Brunswick on Monday, made a lot of promises during the election campaign. She also made one just before the election was called that stands out in particular.a “rigorous and proper scientific investigation” into the mysterious brain disease that appears to be affecting more New Brunswick ers every month.
Since 2015, when a neurologist in New Brunswick saw his first patient suffering from an unexplained neurodegenerative disease that causes a range of debilitating symptoms, the number of cases has risen steadily year after year.430 such patientsThe symptoms are horrible. They include crippling pain, muscle atrophy, loss of co-ordination, partial paralysis, hallucinations, blindness, memory loss, cognitive impairment, dementia and psychosis.
But later that year, the province suddenly shut down the broader investigation without explanation and launched its own, much less thorough, probe of 48 known cases. In 2022, it curtly announced that there was no evidence of a disease cluster and therefore no need for further investigation.
