Re: Dr. Dake sued

The article is clearly written or copied from the plaintiffs' attorney information, so the 'facts' are as they wish to present them.

Re: BNAC - Risk factors for CCSVI in volunteers

BNAC's research publication process

BNAC shows that it is following a rigorous process in publishing its research into CCSVI and MS. Wonder if some of the quickie articles critical of CCSVI have had similar thoroughness before publication?

I was disappointed that the reporter somehow took something Dr. Zivadinov said and got it twisted around to "not only is the procedure unsafe and costly to many patients, it is impeding necessary research." The NPR report could have been much better done. I believe Dr. Zivadinov was talkin...
