CCSVI - Part 3

Want to learn more about CCSVI?

If you want to read about people who have undergone the procedure under Dr. Dake's care, check out the “This is MS” site. They are tracking the progress of MSers who are currently being treated.

And here's a link to the Facebook fan club for CCSVI. (Clicking link will open a new window). We're keeping a close eye on the developments.

And if you'd like to watch the recent special about Dr. Zambino's Liberation Treatment done by Canada's CTV, click here. (Clicking link will open a new window).

If it sounds like we are hoping that this treatment will work, then you guessed right. We're not doctors, of course, but we still have hope that one day there will be a cure for MS. And if this is the cause of even a small number of people with this disease, then it should be explored.

Who's doing it and where?

The studies are continuing in several places. Here are just a few:

Paolo Zamboni
Director of the Centre for Vascular Diseases, University of Ferrara, Ferrara (ITA)
He discovered and described this condition in MS patients
Dr. Michael Dake
Chief of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, Stanford University School Of Medicine in Stanford, CA (USA)
He was the first surgeon to accept Prof. Paolo Zamboni’s suggestion to operate on stenosis associated with CCSVI
Dr. John Cooke, MD, PHD,
Professor of cardiovascular medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine
Robert Zivadinov
Director of the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center, New York State University, Buffalo (USA)
One of the greatest experts in pharmacological trials for multiple sclerosis and efficacy measures using MRI
