I am impressed with how much press CCSVI gets in Canada- next to nothing in the States.

BooBear,
I heard two days ago about a very very prestigous university (USA)
that is about
to make an announcement that will absolutely be the game changer.
I don't want to jinx anything by saying anything more just know that it is very real and very exciting.

I can respect you wanting to keep the secret but can you let us know where to look for the announcement without revealing the University? Or is that not possible ?

Been told I will be axed if I leak so cannot buts it's in the final I.R. process.

Would anyone be willing to help with winning over Texas Heart Institute? I had a good
first conversation with one of the managers of the CathLab
two weeks ago. She said they stent in the jugulars.

If I give the number and name privately would someone
make a follow-up phone call?

A third site is also trying to get I.R. approval. They have
been quietly scanning patients at their site
and told me they can clearly see the abnormalities.
They can't do more without CPP codes??

So lots of real possibilities. Any help would be much appreciated
as I think it would be better to hear from people your side of the
border?

to make an announcement that will absolutely be the game changer.
Oh, that's so MEAN! ;) ha ha

OK, then can I ask...the news is good, right? I mean, it's a game changer in the right direction, right? Just tell me that much, I can't stand the suspense!

Of course, I'd also love a hint as to what might actually change the game (generally of course) but as long as I know it's good news, I'll celebrate!

:D
