Well I've just watched the clip and I think it came across as quite a reasonable interview. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable is the suggestion that other centres are taking advantage of people.
I don't disagree with the statement, I disagree with the way he made it as it infers that by default ANY centre outside the USA is ripping people off.
Still, I think he provided a good explanation of what CCSVI for the purposes of consumption by the masses.
I'm English, but I know who Montel and Dr Oz are, this is advertising on a massive scale.

Montel quoted 40 to 50 thousand dollars as rip off prices being charged overseas is out of the blue. I think the costs are generally about a quarter to a fifth of that in other countries which include, The UK, Bulgaria and Poland. In Egypt where one of the foremost practitioners operates charges $7,500 for the whole procedure!

You mean with the guy who admitted that he wasn't even licensed to practice medicine in Egypt but was performing angio on foreigners anyway?
