FairyGodMother... I think cheerleader initially contacted Dr Cooke who put her in contact with Dr Dake. But don't take my word for it. cheerleader would be the best one to answer this question.

I have an appt in 2 weeks to talk with my neuro about CCSVI. I would love to go armed with as much information as possible. I feel your list will be excellent addition to give to him so that he could reach out to others if he needs to...

Thanks!!!!
Denise

Considering that the Liberation treatment is either angioplasty or stints, these are fairly common procedures. Shouldn't any vascular surgeon be able to perform this procedure? I have to believe there are more than 3 in the world that would be able to perform the procedure, the big question is how many are willing?

girlgeek,

Before Dr Zamboni, angioplasty had never been used before to treat stenosis of the jugular or azygous veins. It is a whole area of the body that interventional radiologists have never looked at. There are sometimes particular problems with the position of the occlusion. Read through this thread and you will see the unfortunate experience of a patient who was stented just this week :

So right now most interventional radiologists have no experience to guide them. Much research and discussion should happen so guidelines for this procedure can be adopted.

Wondering who is backing this here in the US money wise. I hope it isn't a drug company or affiliate.

angie... There are a lot of people on TIMS from Canada. You just have to take the time to read the posts. I know there are a lot of posts here so here a a couple you might be interested in :

http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-8901.html

As far as the BIG NAMES are concerned, there is no one that I know about yet. When some big name from Canada speaks out in favor of CCSVI then their name may be added. Just keep me informed on what you hear.

I would add Direct-MS, Ashton Embry who is at the forefront of supporting and informing regarding CCSVI. He is the person who sent me a notice of CCSVI when I had never heard of it before. Presently, his charity has donated $75,000 to the U of Buffalo study. U of B needs funds to continue the research.

What is so important about Embry & his charity is that they remain unintimidated by big pharm or medical disciplines that refuse to give credit to their studies. He has funded many reputable studies including a major one on Vitamin D & its function in MS. Until his study, doctors were still refusing to see the relationship of Vitamin D to MS prevention.

My adult son has MS, and I want to see him and all of you cured! It is my driving passion in life.

Please donate to othe U of Buffalo study. The faster we get CCSVI proven, the sooner it will become mainstream. :idea:

Moom9335... Be careful, Dr Zamboni does not claim that "The Liberation Procedure is a cure for MS. It is a treatment for CCSVI. The HOPE is that CCSVI treatment will significantly slow or stop progression in people with MS. Please keep this in mind. If we advocates for CCSVI misrepresent it to our doctors then we may be considered over zealous. But be hopeful !!
