MSliberation.ca raised $40,000 in one week to help Dr. Haacke get his MS imaging protocol and study at McMaster University/Canada....nice work, Canada

Here's the interview-

Some misinformation from the interviewer (what else is new?) but Dr. Haacke is on point-
cheer

So wondeful! I had happy tears in my eyes listening to Dr. Haacke. I am so grateful to him for doing this work:)

Thank you for posting that cheer!

I was unaware that msliberation.ca existed. I will now make a donation and forward the link to family and friends so they too can donate.

This is all very exciting!

i just listened to the clip and honestly everytime i read or hear of the how this is spreading like wild fire my eyes water. i am in ottawa myself, where the skeptic dr freedman resides and will start praying one of the two universities here start trials\research.....

I just donated also. I challenge anyone who lookes at this page to do so as well. Big or small makes no difference. I'm tired of sitting on my hands here. We can sit and hope or we can help out.

Fantastic!!! So glad for Doctors like Dr. Haacke!!!

Cheer, could you clarify Dr Haake's comment about Zamboni having a 30% success rate? This is the first time I have heard such a low number...I assume I may have misunderstood. Thanks for all of your tireless work. Take care, Brynn

THat wasn't from Dr. Haacke, that was the interviewer, and I have no idea where that came from. I think there might have been a quote floating around from Dr. Haacke that even if this only helped 30% of the patients, it should still be researched...but that's not any sort of scientific number. Dr. Zamboni's site has 90% of MS patients are diagnosed with CCSVI. The treatment numbers are for the future...

Sound good! That number seemed awfully out of left field. Thanks! Brynn

Yes, at the Winnipeg "information" session (and all the establishment responses seem to be using the same playbook, including the bogus "at least one death" line), Dr Cossoy quoted that number from the CTV interview and suggested that it might mean Haacke's early results were only finding CCSVI in 30% of MS patients.

Whereas it seemed to me when I watched the program

a) that as cheer says, Haacke was talking about chances future treatment success, not his findings of prevalence
and
b) that even then he was clearly using a low-balled number specifically to make a point:

that *even if* it could *only* help 30% of MS patients, CCSVI would still be a tremendously important advance that should be moved along as quickly as possible.

of course I’m not a neurologist or anything clever like that*

Update on Dr. Haacke and MSliberation.ca.

He is speaking with more msliberation members (and other interested people) in Toronto on Jan 14th.
The MSLiberation Group consists of MSers, family members and researchers, technicians and doctors! They are actively working to "kick start" the research, instead of waiting for MS society and Government money.

There will be more announcements on their site over the next while, so join and donate and check the site out. I believe, with more donations, more locations will be able to join the study and earlier study results will move things along faster.
