Media interest

Post by wonky1 »

It's all happening, perhaps.
Yesterday I emailed the fabulous w5 news report to lots of British news organisations and reporters. Today I was contacted by the BBC who had loads of questions for me about CCSVI and my imminent treatment.. It's about time CCSVI caused an avalanche of interest this side of the pond.
Fingers crossed.

Well Done Wonky!! I am so pleased you got a response!

I did get an automated response from Sky news but I don't think that counts lol!

I contacted Case Notes and the Health Editors of the BBC news site AGES ago and Case Notes at least acknowledged the information, but that was it.

I contacted Case notes too (on the advice of my friend who listens to it) I have never heard it before. I sent them the link to the W5 programme, I have not got a response yet.

If anyone does contact me back I am only going to pass it on to one of the other UKers as I have not had the procedure yet and am still in the "hiding my MS" phase

O.K. Following my chat yesterday with Michelle Roberts the BBC health correspondent. She has written a story about CCSVI and my trip to see Dr Simka tomorrow. It will be published online on the BBC news site, I guess it will be in the health bit. It's available from midnight GMT (English time)
Unfortunately I'm gonna miss it because I'm off to bed soon, early flight.
Hope it's cool.

Hi all
Does anybody know which French media would be interested in this? I know that France has a great medical system and I feel they would be very qualified for this, but we also definitely need the French speaking world to be aware of the news...And they are great fighters, so it would harder for the Big Pharma to hide anything:-)
