This is one of the responses...

...to which someone replied .."check out CCSVI.org"

and another..

Montel has a large platform and a loud voice and if CCSVI works for him, he will use that platform and that voice! It kills me that most pwMS in the US don't know about CCSVI.

Exciting news about CCSVI to share...previously he was tested to see if he was a candidate, so the next step would be treatment.

Voice and platform aside, I hope it works for him as I hope it works for anyone who goes for it. He appears to have held up very well against this disease but it is still an awful disease.

Go, Montel!!

and another..

New Jersey!! lucky girl! she's certainly in the right neighbourhood

Boy he's really going to play this one though isnt he? Just come out with it and tell us what the hell your going to do Montel! Stress exacerbates my symptoms.

I am certainly curious to hear about Montel's decision. I recall a month or two ago when he wrote that he was tested by Dr. Dake. Now it appears just in the past 17 hours he wrote again that he has some exciting news to share about CCSVI and his MS journey. Of course we are left to wonder did he get treatment or decide to get treatment?

As others indicated, he is only one man. As we know, CCSVI treatment does not work for everyone, so us relying on his results to put this in the public eye could work for or against the CCSVI treatment sentiment going on right now.

Although I recognize he is only one person, I am excited to hear what his next post will be about this exciting news he has to share on the topic.

its entertainment, lets hope Montel is ahead of the curve.

Maybe he's waiting for the drum roll. He will get so many hits on his website and Facebook. People will read his story, read about the books he writes, his exercise and diet menus too.

He's great at being a mystery man. I wish him well, but I hate suspense.

Quite frankly I find the drama self-serving! Just spit it out Montel.

Only a brief mention of "a procedure coming up" at the very end of the interview.

Suddenly nothing happened.

For more than a decade, Emmy Award-winning television personality Montel Williams has publicly battled Multiple Sclerosis. Williams was diagnosed with MS, a potentially debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, in 1999 and has since campaigned to increase awareness of the disease.

Williams has openly touted the use of medical marijuana and recently announced his involvement in a medical marijuana consulting company. He is a proponent of fully legalizing the use of marjijuana. At the end of the month, Williams will undergo experimental surgery to correct chronic cerebrospinal venus insufficiency (CCVI), a condition associated with MS.

Williams joins American Morning to discus MS, the use of medical marijuana and his upcoming experimental surgery.

This is great news. He is being so open about this. I would have expected to hear about it after he'd had the procedure (and then only if it were successful). This way is better. Go, Montel!!

Doctors will install stents? Recovery is scary?
I will wish for him no stents and an easy recovery with no complications and many improvements.
