Out of curiosity, what is the screen name of Wheelchair Kamikaze on this forum?

Is it CeCe?

These are just basic science studies. There is nothing to "release to the public" yet. This is not a clinical treatment [yet]

MrSuccess wrote:lfor what it's worth ...... I think the results are produced with more than you know ...in mind.

Care to elaborate on this remark?

Interesting. So, had the results been positive, I assume we'd have to accuse the researchers of blatant pro-CCSVI bias due to all that cash from "big-CCSVI". :lol: I jest, of course! I guarantee that people would make this accusation. :lol: Funding bias is important to consider, but it ca...

Whoah!

Lets see...in the one month that I've had ms :wink: I've homeschooled two kids while looking after the younger two while also doing my own solumedrol IV which I hung from a wire hanger on the window. Only once did I bleed into my line because I had to chase a toddler and took the bag down. DIY IV w...

I can roughly estimate this by taking out the worst data point in the treatment group... For cumulative # of T2 lesions: Sham arm (10 pts): mean new T2 lesions: 0.3; SD 0.7 Treatment arm...

The five VH criteria evaluated are: Criterion 1) reflux in the IJVs and/or in the VVs assessed in both sitting and supine postures, Criterion 2) reflux in the deep cerebral veins (DCVs), Criterion 3) B-mode detection of stenoses in the IJVs in the form of annuli, webs, septa, or malformed valves, C...

The graph of VHISS ( scroll to page 6 ; http://www.direct-ms.org/sites/default/files/Embry%20Premise%20Evaluation%20April%202013.pdf) is very unusual I wonder what the explanation is for the discrepancy between phase I and phase II. The baseline data look very similar, and I presume that the criteri...

Does anyone know the criteria for VHISS?

Interesting thread. special kudos to scut for several good points. You can't just disregard a study because you don't like the results. Everyone has bias. Maybe Dr. Zamboni wants to be famous for a paradigm-shifting discovery. Maybe some interventionalists want to cash in on a lucrative procedure. M...

As an addendum, does anyone have experience with nootropics, be they natural or pharmaceuticals?
