VITAMIN THERAPY

VICTORIA (CP) —
Human Resources Minister
Bill Vander Zalm said
Wednesday his ministry has
launched a study into the
medical use of megavitamin
therapy.

Vander Zalm told
reporters the study was
agreed upon with the British
Medical
Association about a week or
10 days ago and would

robably involye the

niversity of B.C.

“I don't think it has
started as yet," he said,
adding that he didn't know
when it would.

The minister was unable
to say who would be
involved with the study or
how much it would cost.

Earlier this year, Vander
Zalm offered toset up such a
study with the BCMA, but
the association turned him
down.

He made the comments
following debate in the
legislature which took up
the entire 15-minute
question period.

Megavitamins are not

covered under the
provincial pharmacare
plan, and the opposition said
this Policy has led to undue
hardship.

Chris D'Arcy (NDP—Ros-
sland-Trail) sald that a 25-
yearold Victoria woman
was in danger of dying
ren she did not, —_
enough money to pay for the
drug treatments, which cost
about $100 a month.

A local newspaper
reported that the woman is
sulfering from myaschenia
gravis—a disorder affecti
nerves and muscles—an
had begun a remarkable
recovery when. given
megavitamin treatment.

Vander Zalm told the
house that without decisive
medical proof that the

treatment was effective, the .

government would : not
provide funds for it, because
doing so would be holding
out false hopes for the
afflicted.

He told reporters that he
had not heard of the case of
the 25-year-old woman,

‘ther development could

“That is outrageous,” Broadbent said. .

He said his party gine to propose ‘a long-
term program in the fall for next summer's stu-
dents.: It would have the federal government |
providing grants to municipalities on the basis
of the number of students local governments

‘Broadbent also said a recent university study
showed'that students from high income fam-
ilies ‘have twice the opportunity of getting
summer jobs throu their parent's
connections’ than students from poor families,
Thus, they also have a better chance to get a
university education.

‘The students said in a brief to Broadbent that
female students and students from low income
families are hit hardest. . :
