Vitamin D call as march bids to cut MS rate
CAMPAIGNERS went on the march in the Capital to stress the need for the widespread introduction of a vitamin D supplement.
Up to 1,000 people marched down the Royal Mile towards parliament yesterday, demanding more action to reduce cases of multiple sclerosis.
Scientists have suggested that if more people in Scotland were to take a supplement, rates of MS could be cut by 80 per cent.
Beth Vokurka, 36, who suffers from MS, brought a coach-load of children from her home village of East Linton for the march.
