People take risks on unproven procedures all the time - Botox swept in and no trials have ever been performed to my knowledge. Makes lots of money though!
Yes trials are necessary but I just do not understand why CCSVI brings about such venomous rhetoric from so many medical professionals. I am mystified why a procedure that is relatively safe with a possible upside to MS patients has been held to the flame so readily.
Just does not make sense.

Right now the biggest related cases I have heard about are a class action against people for offering Liberation and a Human Rights case in Canada.

What doesn't make sense to me is that it is not being offered to the 1 a day in Canada and 10 a day in the US who are on their deathbeds anyway. I think their co-operation will be there, and all the legal documents will be air-tight. I also think fear-mongering has been a problem, and I would like to see (maybe from Kuwait?) a paper published on the safety of Liberation.

Lyon,
I am not sure I would call it a cult following. I would have said people who are desperate and willing to go to extreme lengths to have some control over their disease.
I am not buying the suing thing. People have procedures everyday that could have adverse side effects even when proven. In the meantime 5 more cases of PML from Tysabri.........
I just do not understand why a potentially new medical breakthrough has not been embraced by the medical profession and given every opportunity to be tested until proven otherwise
Could it be that CCSVI was discovered by a doctor in Italy and that is just too much for all the highly esteemed establishments to bear?

Absolutely.

Yes, but even with a guesstimate of about 1/2 restenosing and perhaps needing further ballooning, the CRABs only work about 30% of the time, so having restenosis occur half the time doesn't seem so bad when 50% have their veins remain open, whatever benefit that may result in. 50% failure rate doesn't seem so terrible in light of the CRABs only helping about 30% of the time.
What about Dr. Zamboni's endovascular treatment trial? He got positive results.Lyon wrote:Not to be pessimistic but in the name of accuracy, "liberation" has yet to prove to EVER "work".
