SEATTLE – The Pink Door is throwing a Festa per la Salute! or “Party for Health” to help solve the mystery of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic and often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system, which may include a condition called Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency, or CCSVI.
The Pink Door owner Jacqueline Roberts, recently diagnosed with this complex and unpredictable disease is personally committed to furthering the education and research of CCSVI as it relates to Multiple Sclerosis.
Festa Per La Salute! will feature a sumptuous feast of fresh Northwest seafood, Pink Door Lasagne, grilled veggies and over flowing wines… along with The Pink Door’s usual cacophony of trapeze artists, jazz musicians, accordions, modern dancers, prosciutto slicers and bodacious beauties passing oysters… and of course those beautiful views of Elliott Bay from the deck.
Roberts has pledged 70 percent of all proceeds from the event to the University at Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center (BNAC) and its groundbreaking MS -CCSVI research.
Sunday, June 27, 2010
5 p.m. - 9 p.m.
THE PINK DOOR, 1919 Post Alley, Seattle
COST: $100.00 per person. Additional donations for research very welcome and much appreciated!
TICKETS: Tickets must be purchased in advance by phone at 206.443.3241
or in person at The Pink Door by Friday June 25, 2010
Representatives from the University at Buffalo will be at The Pink Door to discuss their studies of the possibility that symptoms of MS result from the narrowing of the primary veins outside the skull, a condition called Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency, or CCSVI. The BNAC’s 1,700-person research study will verify Dr. Paolo Zamboni's ground-breaking CCSVI theory on which he based his balloon angioplasty procedure to treat venous constriction. Dr. Zamboni has found that the majority of his patients experienced a decrease in MS symptoms. In fact, Zamboni’s wife, who had MS for 17 years, is free of symptoms four years after treatment.

About The Pink Door
In 1981, a whimsically inclined twenty-something Italian American ingénue put her creative hooks and inspiration from travels abroad into a surreal cellar of a space that became equal parts Bohemian loft, Trattoria, and Pigalle cabaret. “La Padrona” Jacqueline Roberts wasted no time filling the space with nuances, a seasonally changing menu of hearty, honest Italian food and wine, spirited service, and eccentric alluring entertainment. Some twenty seven years later, The Pink Door (
http://www.thepinkdoor.net/) remains a Seattle favorite with a fresh, constantly changing seasonal menu and eclectic nightly entertainment.

(I should say that I am an obsessive researcher.) When I was diagnosed, I asked my Dr what he thought about the CCSVI theory and he said that he was at a conference recently and all of the "top" neurologists in the country were calling CCSVI into question, saying that Zamboni's research was flawed, yattity, yattity... My response was, "But don't you think that those doctors are just invested in their own theories, which they've been researching for years? I mean, it's only human nature..." He leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, smiled widely and said, "Point taken!" That was the moment that I knew I could work with him.
