Canadian Scientist Claims Political Interference in Mystery Brain Illness Research

A top Canadian scientist, Michael Coulthart, alleges he was barred from investigating a mystery brain illness in New Brunswick, affecting over 200 people with unexplained neurological decline. Leaked emails reveal Coulthart's concerns about environmental exposures triggering neurodegenerative syndromes, despite the province's conclusion that the cases were misdiagnosed known illnesses. The controversy highlights ongoing fears and advocacy for affected patients, with accusations of political interference in the investigation.
