There are a surprising number of 12 yr olds who are very interested in new medical experiments like CCSVI. Personally I am bombarded with CCSVI information on a daily basis. But like all of the other information I have received online, I take it with a grain of salt. My neuro and I talked once very briefly about ccsvi. It was not an avenue either of us felt was an option for me.

But I can tell you that I know a couple of 12 year olds who are very up to date on MS research and studies and testing. One is a little boy with MS and the other is my future step daughter. Not saying the 12 yr olds that are stirring up stuff on the internet are as well versed or as intelligent as these two. But I will also point out that these kids are the future doctors engineers researchers, pharmacists, nurses, patient advocates... Yup.
