This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Rose2, we must be reading different e-mail messages. I for one am glad that they are willing to take and hold money for research i this area even though they do not yet have an approved project. Here are some of the things in the message that seem very supportive of the CCSVI RESEARCH. "We are ...

One of the really exciting things about an out-of-the box theory like CCSVI is that it creates whole new ways of approaching the search for solutions. It feels like we have been stuck in a blind alley in the maze of MS research for the past 35 years, ever since we directed all our thinking to immuni...

There is one thing that news companies hate worse than getting scooped, and that is putting a big story out there and being wrong.

If it is a congenital malformation, would it just return if opened by angioplasty unless it is propped open by a stent? Would some stenoses be amenable to just angioplasty?

I feel like maybe I can do something to help. I think the first thing we need to do is really get industry interested in developing stents for...

I am very, very excited about this new information and wonderful hope. And I too was in the process of getting in to see Dr Dake for evaluation and possible stenting. I was very disappointed when the plug was pulled on that possibility. I am 57, have had PPMS for 35 years, and knew that new drugs to...
