This is being broadcast tomorrow (sorry if it's a repeat, W5 airs on CTV - Canada):

Statement from the Executive Producer of W5:

We at W5 are excited by the worldwide interest being expressed in Avis Favaro's report about the new therapy being used by Dr. Paolo Zamboni and now being studied in North America.

To confirm, our documentary "The Liberation Treatment" will be broadcast on the CTV television network (seen in Canada at 7 pm local time) Saturday, November 21. W5 is also available via the Internet at www.W5.ctv.ca - online information about our documentary will be available approximately 6 pm Eastern Time. Avis' report will be available for viewing, without subscription, after 7 pm Eastern Time. Unlike entertainment programs there are no restrictions on viewing W5 stories from anywhere in the world - assuming you've got the bandwidth to stream the video.

If you get to the site - just click through the main-page story and you'll be taken to the viewing page. Note that each part of the story - this one is in two parts - play separately after a brief ad, so be sure to look for the second part after viewing the first part. You need to select it as it does not play automatically. Our documentaries typically remain available on the site for many months.

As a matter of background for those unfamiliar with W5 - we are the longest-running newsmagazine/documentary program in North America, now in our 44th season. We are also the most-watched and most-respected program of its type in Canada.

Anton Koschany
Executive Producer
W5

So it's nice to see that this will be available worldwide for everyone to see (nothing worse than getting a black out from being from another country! Grr!).

I'm very excited to watch this show

Thank you everyone
I just heard about this yesterday from Canadian friends; they are DVRing it for me from their satellite and I will get to see this program tomorrow. I read some of the articles (not all) and it really seems like it might be exciting-afraid of getting my hopes up
RW, you are amazing
Linda

I don't get my hopes up too high anymore, as most of you who have ridden this pony for long can understand, but I'm always looking for new information and listening, and this is making a buzz around the world.

Only time and study will tell. I am keeping an open mind until more information is available.

I can't get the net show on the Canadian channel, since I've got dialup, but I will be interested in what they have to say, if those of you who can watch will give us a synopsis of the program.

TIA!

(BTW, I CAN spell, so please ignore the MY for "may" in the title..*WEG*)

I just watched the show. WOW. I emailed them already. My father had a similar procedure done for his heart. This would make too much freaking sense if proven correct for me in my own situation - beyond the MS point. WOW..

Try this RW

There's an excellent Q&A off this page too. My email's already sent. I'll travel to Toronto if I have to to have this surgery done. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I'm a firm believer of this one...
