Mrs Griffin said she had written to the Stroke Foundation, the Neurological Foundation and the Brain Health Research centres in Auckland and Dunedin, outlining her husband's improvement on Etanercept and asking them to consider allowing the treatment to be carried out in New Zealand. She has also invited medical professionals to speak to those who travelled to Los Angeles. Mrs Griffin said she agreed with Ms Parnham there was resistance from the medical profession to the drug being used as treatment for strokes, something she said was probably because no clinical trials had yet been carried out. Associate Prof Steve Kerr of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Otago said care needed to be taken by people seeking treatment with methods or drugs not scientifically validated. Validation proves the drugs and methods were safe as well as ruling out the placebo effect or the impact of outside factors. Prof Kerr said the confidence from undergoing treatment, travelling to another country and intensive nursing could make ill people feel better for a period, and independent research and study took account of those effects on patients and treatment.
