Thanks Newsbot for that article, and thanks Dejibo for the quick link

I think they have been trying to find a cure or a better treatment for 150 years now. I think we should take all media information to heart and at least give it a time-test. We need hope, without it, what do we have?

We spend billions on MS drugs/treatments and symptom management to get what?-- a 30 percent reward on it's effectiveness.. They hype-up all the new drugs in the newswire, TV, and Stock quotes and videos.

Big Pharma has ads in all our MS booklets, seminars, and broadcasts that they pay for and give out hand-outs to us to persuade us to try their drug. Push the doctors to prescribe them too.

I think we the people have the right to chose what we want to get excited about. People have mortgaged their homes to get stem-cell treatment, foreign country treatments and no one mentions that one. Not that I think we should be so extreme, but people get desperate and want a cure, something to believe in. HOPE!

It's too bad they have to work harder and listen for a change to the patient asking questions about CCSVI. We need this hope, explanations, training, testing and we should be able to get treated if we have anything blocked in our bodies. Healthy or not. MS or not.

Surgeons are quick to do C-sections, Hysterectomies, even cosmetic surgery is the big deal on 16 to 18 year old children. So why is unblocking veins, if found, that could be there from birth a big deal?

If it stops MS in it's tracts, it's a positive outcome. Maybe not reverse damage, but no progression is wonderful, if that is the case. Unblocking carotid arteries is done everyday, so why the big deal at unblocking the veins? Big Pharma IMO. We can wait for more testing, but I think it is our right to have this procedure done when it's available.

Stepping down off of the soap box.
