very few of the IRs are actually trained using the "zamboni method" and end up using standard testing while skipping over the interventions, and instructions of Zamboni.

Really scary times and its made even more tense by folks who are willing to allow anyone with a ultrasound wand have at it.

I want badly for this to be the fix its claims to be, but before we all rush the exits to get out of here, lets make sure that it is, what it claims to be.

I believe it may be the answer for a few, whose MS symptoms may have actually been caused by CCVIS.

I also believe that it can't hurt to open up our veins to let the blood flow correctly. Many who have this procedure are noticing a lessening of MS symptoms and just feeling better, less fatigued and stronger.

And yet some are not helped, MS wise, at all.

If I were younger and not had this disease for so many umpteen years, I wouldn't hesitate to get tested and have this procedure....Hey, maybe, at my age, there's nothing to lose..:D

I think it stinks, what they're doing in Canada..:rolleyes: The Gov't there is just trying to save a bunch of bucks..:rolleyes:

The irony is that this would cost them very little. Dr. McDonald estimated that it would only cost $1,500 per patient. That is peanuts!
