Funding CCSVI and MS Research.mov
A recent discovery by Dr. Zamboni in Italy has intrigued researchers at the University of Buffalo, NY, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., and the University of British Columbia. There is a section of an article discussing UBC’s involvement in CCSVI research below, as well as a few donation links.
“A medical centre in British Columbia says it wants to become the first in the country to test the controversial theory that multiple sclerosis patients have blocked veins, preventing proper blood flow from the brain.
‘There’s a large demand for us to look into this,’ Dr. Anthony Traboulsee told CTV News. ‘Patients are very excited. We are very interested ourselves, and we want to meet the demand of our patients.’
A group of researchers at the University of British Columbia MS Clinic, part of the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, are planning to study the theory, using a variety of imaging techniques. If it gets approval and funding, it appears to be the most comprehensive examination of this novel theory in the world.
They will be studying the findings of Italian researcher Dr. Paolo Zamboni, who believes that blocked veins in the neck and chest of MS patients lead to blood drainage problems and triggers the immune responses that mark the disease.
Zamboni contends that angioplasty surgery on these blocked veins, a procedure he calls the Liberation Treatment, can then open them. A preliminary study of the treatment in 65 patients showed it improved the quality of life for many patients, and as long as the veins remained open, symptoms of MS were reduced and new attacks were halted.” (link to the article:

Great Video Kara, it brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it!
Cara, since your …
Cara, since your vid made me cry when i first watched it i thought i d share here my satisfaction that both my jugs seem to be severely stenosed. I dont know if you have already had a doppler or whatever but if not please give it a chance to any radiologist available. It may be to obvious even for an untrained eye to miss.This goes for everyone else of course.
Good luck to all of us.
If each of us with …
If each of us with MS, who is able to participate in an MS walk, should wear advertisements about CCSVI to bring awareness to people all over. I’m in a walk in Monticello, NY on 4/17 & I will be handing out flyers with websites that tell all about it. I’m going to look online for buttons I can have made up to advertise CCSVI so my team & I can wear them. We’ve got to band together on this!
you are most …
you are most welcome girl.
and seing this video made me feel so related you wouldn’t believe. the “if i was a girl with ms i would be her” kind of thing…
Hang in there. There is true hope for us all k?
One more thing: Mykonos should be the first place you visit when you get “liberated”
Oh yeah I didn’t …
Oh yeah I didn’t mean to repost… just correcting an error.
I island-hopped around Greece last summer, but I didn’t get to go to Mykonos unfortunately. I hear it’s beautiful though! And thanks:)
dont worry about …
dont worry about the other video. we get the picture. it s only good to have more and more vids like these even if they all look alike you know?
was that Mykonos by the way? hope you get to visit Greece again girl. you deserve the best. we all do…
I have just seen a …
I have just seen a video that uses almost the exact same format of this video to raise awareness for CCSVI. While I have no problem with this, I’m a little concerned that the message of this video may be mixed up with the message of hers. I am not in any way saying that treatment of CCSVI is a proven cure or that I want treatment at this point in time. I would personally like to see more results from the research being done first. This video is meant to help fund that research.
bravo.
bravo.
To much money for …
To much money for MS ends up contraproductive making it a too juicy business for parasites.
What MS-patients now need is political activism.
Don’t donate money but be very LOUD and never give up if you don’t want to be keept ill a lifetime long!
Thank you Kara!
Thank you Kara!

The most amazing …
The most amazing and touch video I have ever seen.. i can just watch it over and over again..

I love the MS family… I love you all..

Great video Kara. …
Great video Kara. Obviously, you’re a brave and smart woman, a self-thinker as well. CCSVI is a new and marvelous discovery. Hopeful for some and scary for others as all new creations can often be. Your idea of raising funds to support that effort is an awesome way to stand up for what you believe in. I think it will get others motivated in many ways. Keep positive and strong.
Many blessings,
Nicole’s Mom
Absolutely …
Absolutely Brilliant!
Thank you for …
Thank you for making this video, Kara. You inspire me… there is hope…we will keep fighting the battle.
All the best,

Truly a wonderful video.
I was happy to see the links were all places doing continued research on CCSVI.
One day, there will be a society to raise money for.
We are working on that.
I am sure you will be a great help.
God bless.

“Being determined …
“Being determined to love life with or without this disease” , I like that. What else can one strive for, I shall keep that thought and pass it forward. Thanks. Kam, BC, Canada

Credi iin questa terapia. Noi ci crediamo.
E’ più di una speranza: è la causa della sclerosi, dal mio punto di vista, ma non si può ancora dire.
Zamboni e Salvi sono 2 grandi menti.
Nobel now!
