Kudos to Mr. Garvie and CCSVI Foundation! This directly helps three patients, one of whom has upper level EDSS.

Here is where to find out more about the CCSVI Foundation and to donate:
www.ccsvifoundationcanada.org/donations

Or if you are Canadian to apply for assistance with funding your CCSVI treatment:
www.ccsvifoundationcanada.org/applicati ... assistance
It's worth a shot.

Here's a report on how the first patient assisted by the CCSVI Foundation to receive CCSVI treatment is doing!

Serious congrats and kudos to Mr. Tkachuk and to Steve Garvie and the CCSVI Foundation.

Steve Garvie of CCSVI Foundation was one of six people treated by Dr. McDonald and Dr. Guest in Barrie last year before the good docs were directed by College of Physicians and Surgeons to stop.

Steve was in a wheelchair and needed assistance to dress, bathe, etc. He is now walking, living independently, working full time and is the founder of CCSVI Foundation to help other Canadians get treatment. He has also testified before Parliament along with Dr. McDonald and Dr. Haacke. Steve has said he has "energy to burn."

In addition to Rhode Island, CCSVI Foundation has helped some people go to California.

Amazing man. Amazing group.

I just googled Steve Garvie and read his blurb about the liberation treatment. While he was receiving some care and support he said nothing about being in a wheelchair and was still working.he does feel he has benefitted from the procedure though.

Lets be careful about making these types of statements. I AM in a wheelchair/scooter and know of no one who has walked away from a chair after CCSVI surgery. Believe me, I keep looking, phoning people I hear of through friends. etc.
We don't need false hope, we need the accurate truth.

Didn't Mammananny AKA Linda show exactly this in her before/after videos?

Before: Got up from scooter, fell down.
After: Walked briskly back&forth, "I'm bending my knees!"

Before: Right eye unable to track to the right.
After: Right eye fully tracks.

To me this was one of the most striking before/after videos, in that she had this eye-tracking problem for a very long time, like 15 years, yet it was resolved immediately upon treatment.

Clearly there was neural tissue not completely dead, but somehow compromised for a very very long time. I still have no understanding of how this could be.

Re scooters/wheelchairs, the most improvement I have personally seen is people throwing away their canes. Not dramatically so as in dancing like Gene Kelly, but comfortably able to do without.

Here's Steve Garvie's story in his own words. It sounds like he had a wheelchair but was able to stand if assisted and use a walker.

The government program (Simcoe County Association for the Physically Disabled) also sounds remarkable. Society needs safety nets like that, thank goodness they are there.

btw I'd never seen Mammananny's video before. Wow.
