This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

The 56% sounds awfully similar to what was concluded a year ago. How did they get this number? Oh that's right, only using MRV, not doppler ultrasound. I'm not saying CCSVI is the cause of MS, I think it plays some part in how severe it can be though.

Yes, sooooo exciting

No negative CCSVI headlines in the US? Needed to branch out to Australian newspapers?

Any chance of finding some neutral articles scorpion?

This seems pretty decisive. Not really, there were only 50 patients in this study. Fifty patients who presented with clinically isolated syndromes and dissemination in space of the inflammatory lesions, suggestive of MS , underwent diagnostic tests Not to mention they weren't even using patients cl...

It has only been one day, be patient. It took 3-4 days for me to notice any changes.

I'm not aware of the mortality rate of persons with kidney disease, but if the prognosis is poor, maybe that is why the use of stents is accepted (risk/reward) even though they have a high rate of failure at one year.

To quote Dr. Zamboni ........ first view many good healthy veins first ..... before looking for CCSVI . Sounds like good advice. Until they are taught by expert CCSVI investigators ..... they will continue to grope around in the dark. Mr. Success Unfortunately people think that because Dr. Zamboni ...

Myself: Minor but noticeable symptoms for the last 3-4 years. Tapered off for a while, coincidently when I changed my diet and started training 6 days a week.
