The usual denialism of most neurologists, in addition to jealousy among colleagues of the same university.

Exactly. The neurologists in Ferrara chose to withdraw, and patients will be recruited from Salvi/Bologna. After, Catania starts, and then the other hospitals to follow.

Cece, 19.6% of positive CCSVI is ridiculous. Authors correctly say "A higher frequency of CCSVI has been found in MS patients", as the percentage of the healthy control group is 5%. Furthermore, they suggest that "CCSVI could be related to MS disability" and not vice versa. "...

Hello, Mark. I completely agree with you that the fake interventions are a trap set by the neuro. Unfortunately, even the prof. Zamboni had to submit to this imposition, to be able to see accepted his Brave Dreams. I am Italian, and Brave Dreams' start is shifted from month to month, because additio...

In Catania there are 3 other public hospitals, which operate at no cost to patients. 2 of these hospitals will participate in Brave Dreams. I am Matteo Scibilia, president of a small group CCS...

"CONCLUSIONS: Combination immunosuppression with tacrolimus may have a beneficial effect on MS although an effect of donor allograft itself can not be excluded."

Thank you, Cece
