“That is one of the sad byproducts of this,” acknowledges Dr. Aaron Miller, head of the MS clinic at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital and chief scientific adviser to the U.S. National MS Society.
Now it should be very clear where the negative stance of MSS is coming from ... I dont think this guy is in a hurry to let go MS from his list ...

I realize things can be taken out of context when speaking with a journalist so I will give Marc the benefit of the doubt.

Dr Miller and the rest of the medical community need to realize that we understand they want dbl blind this and that. What they need to understand is that we are going to move on with or without them. I don't think there should be hard feelings between the Neuros and MSers, just an understanding.

I am not waiting for studies, but I do welcome them. But if you plan on having a group of patients to study I suggest you hurry.

I was specifically commenting on Dr. Miller. Let me not go into specifics (and I cant) but this guy is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that CCSVI does not succeed ...

Of course, I am myself a big fan of Marc and even if he is opposed to CCSVI, his opinion would still be very balanced and objective. I wish the neuros learnt something from their patients ...

I'm not sure if you instead meant to say "even if he were opposed to ccsvi" but it would doubtlessly be inaccurate if you really are of the opinion that Marc is opposed to CCSVI.

You once gave me a "D" for my (poor) English. So that should explain the reason for confusion. But all is well as long as expression is completed (with proper correction at the receiving end)
