60 Minutes piece on DAVOS

Did anyone see this piece on TV last night? It got me to thinking what a GREAT place that would be for Dr’s Zamboni, Simka, Haacke etc. to be able to attend and network for CCSVI in 2011.

I thought I read somewhere on Tims that the country of Jordan was receptive to CCSVI. Does anyone know if that’s true? Queen Rania Al Abdullah might be an excellent person for the doctors to contact. She set up her own channel on YouTube to show videos countering stereotypes about the Middle East, and has more recently joined Facebook and Twitter.

Nowhere in the world can such a concentration of power be found than at the World Economic Forum's meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

I had never heard of this meeting, but I guess it’s an annual event and really powerful people rub shoulders in a relaxed atmosphere. In the video it shows Queen Rania visiting with Mrs. Bill Gates, what an opportunity to put the facts of CCSVI out there to the really big Movers & Shakers.

Anyone got any ideas as to how to go about getting the doctor’s an invite for next year? I found the scissors’ I just don’t know how to run with them.

Lora, I understood (misunderstood?) that, according to the Hamilton conference earlier this month, not only was Jordan "receptive" to CCSVI, they are already performing CCSVI assessments and, perhaps, treatments. And it may just be my lesion-addled memory, but it seems to me I heard that the hospital/clinic where this is happening is sponsored by the Queen. If you look up the post-conference info, you could confirm that and also get the name of the doctors who presented. By contacting them, you might find out how to put a bug in the Queen's ear.

When I asked about ccsvi at the Cleveland Clinic all they would tell me was that they had applied for funding and that they didn't know enough about it yet. After 22 years of being a test sibject involved in their many clinical drug trials...I am now on the lists for Buffalo and Albany. I just want my life back. Stay strong everyone.
