Hi James,
I'm so sorry you have MS, but I must say that you've just heard from the three most compassionate and caring people here at TIMS, so given that you have this awful disease called MS, you are very lucky to have landed here at TIMS because . . .
Cheer started the CCSVI ball rolling around the planet when she happened to read a post on the general forum about a research paper written by Dr. Zamboni on something called CCSVI. The concept made sense to her, and with her determination, it seemed as if the world was tilting several degrees on its axis as word of CCSVI began spreading around the Internet, gathering momentum with each passing month.
Cheer has worked tirelessly for almost two years researching the science and bringing it to TIMS when she could have easily just stayed within her private life enjoying her husband's newly liberated improvements -- her husband, Jeff, was the first person to have the liberation procedure in the US
(Dr. Dake, Stanford, '09).
In addition to being our beloved leader here at TIMS-CCSVI, she also started and manages the Facebook page, "CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis," which has over
17,000 friends, and she is also the leader of "CCSVI Alliance," which is the
premiere CCSVI advocacy association on the Internet. Here are the links:

Blossom is a pretty flower who makes people feel special, and she shows them where hope is when they thought hope couldn't be found. Listen to her closely because her posts are laced with wit, wisdom, and whimsy, and she welcomed you with these terrific new gems:
for the first time in ms history there is history being made
the rule of thumb and the rule on greed
they were suppressed and we have suffered
we have suffered for it and many got rich because of it
dared to defy
might have weak muscles but we have a very strong backbone
don't say it can't be fixed-think they can't quite fix it today
Cece shares her CCSVI smarts with everyone, and her intelligent and often humorous posts can often be found on Dr. Sclafani's thread where she helps whenever she can. She's an encyclopedia of CCSVI knowledge. Really!
She'll help you with any questions you might have. Why, in all the questions she's answered here at TIMS, she's only gotten one wrong... but since it was about wild bears instead of twisted veins, we let her stay. Just kidding! Seriously, she will answer any of your questions.
James, while I'm not in the same league as these three lovely ladies, I still welcome you to TIMS and wish you the best of luck. Anytime you have a question or concern, ask away, and someone will come along with help and support.
