CCSVI Calgary

Sorry – couldn’t help it. Shakespeare is ALWAYS a good source for material.

To the issue – if you are interested in staying current on CCSVI issues, you probably are already using Facebook.
If you aren’t – well, simply put, you aren’t current with what’s “being said”.

Unless one is a full time Webmaster and working 10+ hours a day, you would not possibly be able to keep track of what’s going on with CCSVI in Canada, let alone worldwide. That’s before you verify that information and then publish it. Therefore this website will remain focused on what’s going with the CCSVI Calgary organisation – not necessarily with CCSVI itself.

With that in mind – CCSVI Calgary recommends that you at least consider embracing Facebook as one of your information sources for CCSVI.

Whether or not you choose to sign up and post comments is up to you, but you should at least have a look.
Let me google that for you…
Why should I?
Why shouldn’t I ?

If you decided to try Facebook out, are you unclear how to proceed?
Click here , here or here.

Here are some, but definitely not all, Facebook pages for you to have a look at to see what this is all about:

CCSVI Calgary
CCSVI Alberta
CCSVI Lethbridge
CCSVI at UBC
CCSVI Toronto
Direct MS

There’s a lot to wade through – but via Facebook you’ll find kindred spirits who share your thoughts, interests, concerns etc…

It’s not for everyone, but CCSVI Calgary wouldn’t be of service to you without sharing this information.

Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) TESTING AND TREATMENT NOW

A delegation from CCSVI Alberta, accompanied by Dr. Bill Code of the National CCSVI Society, met with Alberta’s Health Minister, Gene Zwozdesky on April 11 and were cautiously encouraged by the Minister’s response to the presentation. Dr. Code, [see background below] explained the latest medical evidence regarding CCSVI to the minister. The Minister seemed receptive to the new information and medical opinions. CCSVI Alberta representatives will meet with the minister again on Friday, April 15 to discuss government policy and plans for CCSVI treatment and research. A CCSVI Alberta press conference was held in the rotunda at approximately 12:00 p.m. on Friday, April 15.

CCSVI Alberta is asking the Alberta government to authorize and fund CCSVI testing and treatment immediately. There is no longer an excuse to delay. “The scientific papers recently presented at the International Society of Neurovascular Diseases (ISNVD) and the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) effectively prove that venous angioplasty of the veins draining the brain and nervous system is safe and an effective treatment for Multiple Sclerosis(MS) patients afflicted with CCSVI. The linkage between CCSVI and MS has also been well proven. This is urgent. People are suffering unnecessarily. We have an opportunity to improve their quality of life and free up precious resources in the health care system” said Dr. Bill Code, Director of Medical Research of the National CCSVI Society.

“It’s time to move forward with testing and treatment” said CCSVI Alberta spokesperson Warren Stefanuk “More than 12,000 procedures have been safely performed worldwide. Any further delay would cause unnecessary suffering and death amongst Alberta’s approximately 11,000 persons with MS, most of whom are also afflicted with CCSVI. The observation study would essentially reinvent the wheel and would waste time and money. Those funds should be reallocated to a clinical trial involving testing and treatment. CCSVI Alberta would be satisfied with a clinical trial, that includes testing and treatment of CCSVI patients with varying levels of symptoms, by qualified vascular specialists specifically trained in the protocols, with a minimum of three thousand CCSVI patients, that wish to participate at centers throughout Alberta” Stefanuk said.
