Dr Ludwin on CBC
Yes Dr. Ludwin was very positive! Some quotes (my transcription, not official from the CBC):
His advice to patients: "Get excited, but not over the top... don't stop your regular medicines. But call your local MS Neurologist to see if the diagnosis at least can be set up locally.... (!!)"
On his own reaction: "I am very excited, but cautious."
Here is a longer link which should take your right to the audio file:

I don't think that anyone has been taken for anything. People willingly gave money to be scanned.Billmeik wrote:what if this noise has allowed msers to be taken for thousands of dollars for pictures that 'may' or may not show the problem?
Until we get some actual reports, let us try to have some positivity.

there are 2 reports back from false creek. 1 on facebook and another in an article. Both showed no ccsvi. Negative would be thinking this is because zamboni, and the buffalo and stanford replications were cooked. No. I think this is because false creek is at least a month away from learning how to do this test well.

Agreed, Bill. I was not implying that you were being negative regarding Zamboni et al , I just don't think anyone was "taken". False Creek Surgical has expressed that they do not just want to take the money of MSers, and has offered a caveat.Billmeik wrote:there are 2 reports back from false creek. 1 on facebook and another in an article.

Being that they are not doing trans-cranial Doppler there, I would think the the ultra-sound scans would be a waste of money, but MRV ought to show what is there, or not. It might be that it takes a while for them to get up to speed with the imaging techniques, and even longer for accurate interpretation of same.
The one report that I have seen was not very succinct, nor explicit, but did show "attenuation", for what that is worth.
We have to start somewhere...
