Indeed ! We've worked hard for this, and now our team are getting requests to do GMTV and others. Once one seemed to run the story (Sky News), we keep getting calls from others now ! It's all good publicity !

This is getting some serious airtime on BBC morning television today.

Thanks folks.
First there was the Italian study, which established a link, and the need for more reseach.
We've just have a second trial in Buffalo, NY report preliminary findings, and corroborate some of the findings from the Italian study.
They too have seen a higher incidence of vein stenosis in offically diagnosed MS sufferers (about a 62% percent chance in their study)
The did use different control groups than the italian study. They had a 25% detection in supposedly healthy people. Which has raised a few eyebrows. Is this a group of people who have vein stenosis, but have not developed MS yet ? Is this a group of people who have another undiagnosed illness, that vein stenosis is associated with, but wasn't included in the Italian study ?
Hence, could vein stenosis be responsible for more than just MS ?
The second study used different protocols for scanning stenosis, as they don't have the advanced scanners the Italians used, nor the same algorithms for setting up their machines.
So many questions, and as the second trial group say "this raises more questions than ever and will branch off not just in to MS. We are going to pursue other neurologial diseases as well. With regards to the MS however, our findings parallel the italian study, but at 62% instead of 99%"
They release another set of 500 more scans later this year, using newer scanning equipment.

Only just seen this today and to be totally honest I don't really know what to say.
My best wishes go out to you, and I have also added my name to the petition, lets hope that this gets taken seriously and the research is done quickly and accurately so that they can start rolling this out to everybody who needs it.

If you see anything about CCSVI in the newsin the coming days or weeks, that's come from our Facebook Core Team who are driving the media. We're at the front of the news releases in the UK. So no need to let us know :-)

My initial read throughs had me wondering if this was some sort of straw-clutching but god damn those stats are amazing! More than a ray of hope that the actual source of this illness has been found. Absoultely amazing.
