Eureka - I have found travel insurance that covers travel for medical treatment abroad. It provides for accommodation and travel in the event that recovery takes longer than anticipated, but it does not cover complications arising from treatment. The company is allclear.co.uk. It cost me £78. Strang...

I haven't seen the 'robbery' accusations before, but the name rings a bell. Dr. Spence that is. Didn't he already make an accusation that CCSVI doc.s are 'quacks'? I read that on this site somewhere I think. Please forgive if I'm mistaken

Hi Simon, Yes, I have the same impression as you, although I don't really know any more. I think it is Dr. Simka's team who offer the treatment, not just the one doc.

I am going to Poland for treatmente in 3 weeks. Please can anybody who's been tell me what you did about insurance? Any recommendations?

Hi Joge,
Thanks for your answer. I just hope I can get the prescriptions.

Yes, I'm in the u.k. where we have our own species of Liverbird. Is your wife from the same species?

Can anybody tell me about medications after CCSVI treatment please? I've read that these are injected into the stomach? Does everyone need this? I'm going to Poland in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering who will prescribe any medications when I get back? This is my first 'go' at this , so I hope I'...
