RE: Small study on CCSVI for MSers

June 8, 2012

Thanks for that Martha - there are many such reports from all over the world

which we're sadly seeing every day. I just hope that the members of this Yahoo

group are smart enough to realise what is REALLY going on with these 'studies'.I

also hope their memories are still functioning well enough to remember the

successes which many of us who have actually had the procedure done have

experienced and are still experiencing in most cases. In relation to the beliefs

of each individual regarding CCSVI and its merits or failings, it should always

be based on intelligent thought and intelligent research and never solely on the

supposings of the media and the fraudulent orders of the 'researchers' who have

ties with the companies and heads of the 'Medical Industry'.Any help to we

'MS'ers which is not pharmacutically based will never earn their Industry money

and will never, as a result, be backed or 'proven' or applauded by them. The

papers and TV Media are never well versed in the true realities of a situation

and so the many articles which are repeating what the heads of BIG Pharma and

the 'learned' heads of all things 'MS' tell them to report are generally of no

real use to us all as they're not telling the REAL truth.Sad, but unfortunately

true.

Most CCSVI studies are being over-ridden by vested interest groups (Big Pharma,

FDA). The fact that they, the opposition, are fighting so hard to have it

discredited says to me that it works, and they know it. If not, they would sit

back and it would just go away. If I hadn't been caught up in this whole big

mess I would never have believed everything I now know about Big Pharma. CCSVI

treatment has worked for me, 19 months on and I have everything back except

balance and the use of one leg. That to me is amazing as an 18 year diagnosed

PPMS.I shall probably return in the Autumn as the clinic I attended are now

treating the iliacs and renals. I have done my own research (as too

believes) and am a firm advocate of CCSVI treatment. The other day I read these

Canadian statistics which you may find interesting:QUOTEThe tragic deaths

associated with CCSVI treatment keep being dredged up, year after year. Part of

the ongoing Neuroland® campaign of disinformation and fear-mongering. They are

using this as a weapon to try and block angioplasty treatment, hoping this blood

flow discovery will simply go away.

Yes these numbers are very sad, but how do the risks of CCSVI treatment compare

to other things?... Maybe a reality check is in order?

For example, there are roughly 35,000 taking the new Gilenya MS pill. In a

6-month period 15-people died within roughly 24-hours after taking that pill.

This works out to be a death rate of about (43/100,000)

Tysabri is another approved MS treatment. Roughly 250 have developed disabling

PML and 52 sadly passed away. I read that there are about 95,000 taking Tysabri

around the globe. This works out to be a death rate of about (55/100,000)

In Canada, 400 out of 75,000 lose their grip on life, dealing with this MS

monster. That works out to a death rate of about (533/100,000)

Many groups are saying that somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 have received

CCSVI angioplasty treatment in the last 4 years. Tragically 4 died. If you pick

the low end of the scale, this works out to be about (12/100,000) If you based

it on 40,000 treatments, then the rate would be roughly (10/100,000)

Lets look at a wide range of mortality numbers, to put all of this into

perspective. Here is a mortality rate list, in descending order:

533/100,000 - Canadian MS death rate

92/100,000 – Logging Workers

92/100,000 – Aircraft Pilots

86/100,000 – Fishing Workers

55/100,000 – Tysabri MS Drug

47/100,000 – Structural Steel Workers

43/100,000 – Garbage Collectors

43/100,000 – Gilenya MS Drug

37/100,000 – Farmers

35/100,000 – Roofers

30/100,000 – Electrical Powerline Workers

28/100,000 – Travelling Sales Workers / Truck Drivers

24/100,000 – Taxi Drivers / Chauffeurs

12/100,000 – CCSVI Angioplasty Treatment

ly, when anyone brings up the fact that CCSVI angioplasty is so dangerous,

they really need to do their homework and look at the facts.

Government officials, and members of the media keep saying that angioplasty is

killing people. They also say that we can't do angioplasty trials in Canada,

because of the risks involved. You got to wonder what is going on, when you look

at the death rate numbers?

Then you have those Neuroland® Doctors. I guess we assume too much from them?

They don’t seem to understand anything about angioplasty. An accepted standard

of care to correct blood flow abnormalities in all parts of the body. A

minimally invasive treatment that is being done millions of times each year,

around the globe.

In the last few weeks, the FDA made headlines talking about how deadly CCSVI

treatment is! Are they not able to read the peer-reviewed and published studies

on this CCSVI treatment?

It also seems ironic that the death rate of the Taxi Driver taking you from the

clinic to your hotel, or your travelling Big Pharma CRAB Drug Sales Rep, has

double the potential risk of death doing their job, as compared to a person who

just received their CCSVI angioplasty treatment.

" It's all about politics and dollars. Doctors can and do perform the procedure

here at home provided their patients don't have MS. It should be available at

home.” - Sheila Clements, Chair Chatham-Kent Chapter, MS Society of Canada

(Chatham Daily News - September 2010)

So there you have it. The reality is crystal clear. So many things we do on a

daily basis are far more dangerous than CCSVI angioplasty treatment.

Since November 2009 when W5 aired their show on CCSVI, over 1,000 Canadians

have run out of time.

From what I see, the ongoing Neuroland® campaign of fear-mongering has only

resulted in a senseless delay of treatment in Canada. Their delay tactics have

done more harm than good.END QUOTEJanet
