MSRC
Hi Helen, nice to see MSRC represented here... Much more open minded than other MS societies I know. Pleased that you are taking an interest in CCSVI , if anything is going to happen in the UK it will need the weight of societies like yours to change the status quo...
Michele, warrior4MS, mother and champion for Ella, the MSer. The solution is out there we just have to ask the right questions.
Helen, thanks for all your work at the MSRC! I am an American but I have looked to the MSRC for good information for as long as you have been online! I see your organization as one of true advocacy for MSers and have always been grateful for you guys
This is going to take some push to make it get over the hump of "proven" IMHO
We'll need all hands on deck!

I'm not offering medical advice, I am just a patient too! Talk to your doctor about what is best for you...

Thanks for setting me straight Helen and welcome to you and Squiff!!
It is great to see representatives from the MSRC joining us.
I am in the UK and am trying to get the word out to vascular dr's and neuros here (as are many of the other UKers)
We would just love them to investigate the theory further and start testing MS patients as soon as possible:)

Hi All,
Thank you for your welcome, like Squiffy I have actually had an account on here for a while and regularly look at your forums where you have very interesting and informative discussions.
For those who aren't aware, at MSRC we believe (in a very similar vein to TIMS) that our job is to provide unbiased information and the "public spaces" in which to discuss such information. One of the many "public spaces" we provide is New Pathways magazine (currently on an offer of a free year's subscription if you want to try it out!)
I, personally, have always like this site as it attracts informed people who help to further inform each other.
I am sure that CCSVI is going to run and run in terms of discussion and pushing for doctors to get on board - I have no doubt you will be seeing a lot more of MSRC in the ensuing debate!
Thanks again for the welcome

New Pathways
Several of us know about New Pathways magazine, in fact my daughter Ella has made a couple of contributions to it. One about the Combined Antibiotic protocol and one of her experience of fundraising for MSRC through her skydive. I know the Wonky1 has recently written about CCSVI for NP.
Free subscription, He! well I might investigate that.

Thanks Squiffs, for taking me back. Ella did do quite well on the protocol, but unfortunately severe aneamia meant that she could not carry on with it. She may go back to it when things settle down, in the mean time we are investigating this alternative.
She has been going downhill quite rapidly since off the protocol and is struggling a bit at the moment. So this is a real possibility to halt the progression.

Are all of your articles available online? I am an American so not eligible for the free subscription.
The first book I ever had after I got MS in 91 was Judy Graham's Self Help book....
