CCSVI and CCVBP

I have already been in touch with Dr. Woodfielf of NUCCA's Upper Cervical Research Foundation for over a year now. Dr. Woodfield is currently working with Dr. Noam Alperin on a migraine study using upright MRI. Dr. Woodfield and I met with Drs. Haake, Dake and Mehta last year at the CCSVI Alliance meeting in Albany to discuss the role and potential comanagement of upper cervical and vascular intervention in MS.
Drs. Harshfield and Rosa are doing their presentation to neurologists and neurosurgeons specializing in shunts and NPH. The presentation was put on by a neurologist who specializes in Alzheimer's.
It's time to fire up the grill.

And what about Dr. Dickholtz?
There has got to be value it talking surely!

It worth talking to all the board certified NUCCA doctors. That's Dr. Woodfield's job. What Dr. Dickholtz is referring to are case studies. We need physiological studies such as MR and US which is what Woodfield and NUCCA research division are doing. There are other non-orthogonal methods that are equally valid and need to be studied as well. Certain full spine proceedures, especially spinal decompression tables that use the Cox method also need to be included.

That makes sense, now that you have explained more of the picture.
I have booked with Graham Dobson for Fri 26th and Mon 29th Aug. At last!
Do you think it would be worth your email contact with him? I can PM you his email.

That's terrific Nigel. You can give Dr. D my email if you like. I would be interested in seeing your x-rays.

I just finished the webinar, which lasted an hour and then I had a conference call with the doctors. It was about imaging blood and CSF flow using upright MRI. I have commited myself to collaborating with them. The upright MR we will be using is the one used in the study HP was in. Upright MRI is the technology that is going to change our understanding of many neurodegenerative diseses that seem to share common causes. Upright MR is right around the corner and it's affordable.

Congrats, Dr. Flanagan! I'm sure the collaboration will be a successful one. Dr. Scott Rosa is the doctor who performed my AO adjustment in the study at that facility; he's a very caring doctor, and I look forward very much to the next CSF study. As you know, via MRI, a "notable" increase was measured in my CSF flow after my adjustment -- and such MRI measurements are objective proof.

Thanks HP. The presentation on Tuesday was a success. It also allowed me to get familiar with the program and format. Dr. Harshfield focused on Chiari Zero malformations and Dr. Rosa focused on the effects of AO intervention on arterial, venous and CSF flow. I look forward to the next one in October. I will be covering anatomy and variants, physiology, neurology and pathology. I have already begun my PP slides. Our three presentations should dovetail beautifully.

yeah kick ass Dr. F. I love that more studies are and may get more going. the potential awareness of what you and the other Dr's are doing is so exciting.

yeah HP, are you having constant adjustments or just for the study?

I have been taken by this information on Zonulin and the BBB leakage;

These findings further support the theory of the "leaky gut syndrome," which has been around for a long time in health care. The digestive system play a major role in health as well as chronic immune and inflammatory conditions. Many cases of MS are actually migraine variants.

Hi!

This time, I'll say nothing.

Indeed, say no more. Candida is a piece of the puzzle. There are many more antigens and irritants.
