I hope to find out if my veins are stenosed by taking part. I'd do the stents or balloon angioplasty in a heartbeat. The Charing Cross report (HERE) found that opening up the veins resulted in a four-fold reduction in relapses, plus any future relapse was due to a reoccurence of stenosis. When the stenosis was treated, the relapse resolved within four hours to four days. Speaks volumes. Plus, this is the only treatment that has been shown to significantly reduce MS related fatigue.

Most of the CCSVI research is here. It's worth in in-depth read. I'm personally not willing to wait the years that it will take to be hashed out--even if it's not the "magic bullet" for MS it can only be good to open the veins that lead to the brain.
