Just received this. Individuals in Canada are taking matters into their own hands. Governments aren't acting, so people are rising up!!!.....

CHRONIC CEREBROSPINAL VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY (CCSVI)
PROVING IT WORKS FOR TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Doctors and Researchers from McMaster University and St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton speak in Toronto April 25, 2010

We and our families are devastated by multiple sclerosis. Like at least 55,000 other Canadians ravaged by this debilitating and progressive disease, we have been hoping and donating for research to find a cure.

Finally a medical breakthrough may have occurred. You may have watched the news stories or read about the Italian doctor, Paulo Zamboni, who used a new “Liberation” procedure to treat his wife’s MS. This new approach is being examined in Buffalo, in Washington, in Italy and in Poland and in other countries around the world with exciting results. But nothing is happening in Canada because of lack of funding.

Contrary to media reports, this new approach has not received funding to get underway in Canada. McMaster University and St. Joseph’s Healthcare in Hamilton have the doctors, equipment and facilities to do this research. And they need $500,000 to start.

We need this work to get underway. Being a debilitative disease that progressively worsens, time is a luxury that people with MS don’t have. So rather than waiting for governments to act, or funding to come from other charities, we are taking matters into our own hands.

And we need your help.

Please buy a ticket and come and learn the facts about CCSVI – as the new approach is called – meet the doctors ready to do this critical research, and learn the facts.

Tickets are $500 each or $800 for two. All the proceeds, yes 100%, will go directly to this research. Charitable tax receipts will be issued for the full amount. Space is limited and advanced registration is required.

Please pass this along to anyone who may be interested and can help. If you cannot attend, please consider making a donation. www.stjoes.ca/msccsvi_donation.asp



Yours sincerely,

Linda Molyneux Janet Heisey Eleanor Barker Brock Winterton

HOW FANTASTIC FRASER. GREAT WAY TO RAISE AWARENESS AND MONEY. SADLY I THINK IT IS WORSE HEAR NO UNVIRSITY STUDIES ARE BEING HELD. TOO CONTROLLED. RESEARCH IS HEAVILY INTWINED WITH PHARMAS. OUR GODSEND IS A PRIVATE CLINIC CALLED ESSENTIAL HEALTH. THEY DEAL WITH MS VERY HOLISTICALLY AND HAVE JUST STARTED TESTING IN LONDON AND GLASGOW.

THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL INFO.

Hi Livabird,

I believe the $500 contribution gets you a ticket to the conference on April 25, 2010. I didn't read anything about a raffle - you could always contact them and see. They are also just taking donations as well.

We are doing very well - thank you for asking. My husband has had 6 good days in a row!! Absolutely unheard of - we're lucky if we get half a good day. Every new day brings joy and hope for the future.
