Well, the above may be true, in many, many cases, but think about what a Neurologist's job is. They have to try to diagnose people with all Neurological problems and yet they can never cure "ANY" of their patients. Maybe Neuro-surgeons can, but not MS Neuro's or General Neuro's.

They can treat all sorts of Neurological problems, but their whole specialty must be a real downer, because no one gets cured. The CCSVI Procedure is a treatment, that can help many people. For many it is like a cure, but you still have MS, that "title" doesn't go away even if the symptoms do.

You still may need some treatment drugs for other issues that MS brings, like tremor or spasms. The CCSVI procedure may give a person many/all improvements, but others get only a few benefits, so having a Neuro or a MD to take care of these issues is still important.

They order tests, MRI's, maybe steroids, check your eyes for other problems, etc., but still can't cure you. 150 years proves that one.

Really it is a Vascular specialist or an IR's issue, and the Neurologist really shouldn't be involved, unless they want to. You don't go to your Neurologist if you need a tooth pulled.

I think people are comparing apples and bananas and so are the Neurologists. You should see a Interventional Radioligist or a Vascular specialist and still be able to discuss the procedure with your Neurologist, without getting kicked to the curb, or told what to do. JMO

Thanks NewsBot.
