He loves to talk and this is why he is out there as a personality, so I really do hope he experiences postive changes with the procedure, because in that way he would represent so many of us.
It is clear that he suffers and I wish him improved health, as with any and all who suffer from MS (and other problems as well).
Isn't Sclafani using stents now?
He most certainly is a guinea pig, as is everyone undergoing treatment for CCSVI. Angioplasty is not experiment but I believe it's experimental when used to treat CCSVI. The doctors are still constantly changing what they do and don't do.... examples are given throughout this thread. I really hope people DO understand that this is very much still experimental and consider the risks beforehand.
Unfortunately, those risks aren't so easy to find, isolated in one place unless I've missed it (which is highly likely).
I'm not a big Montel fan either and he'll tell what he wants to. Quite sure he'll take his time before making any sort of claim. What he does eventually say will definitely have an effect on the future of CCSVI.
