Duncan Thornton speaks out:
In the Earl Grey community room, Manitoba's highest-profile CCSVI advocate put the kibosh on that tense tug-of-war. "I don't think there's a conspiracy to squelch this,"declared Duncan Thornton, 47, who had a controversial vein-opening treatment at a clinic in Poland while CBC cameras rolled. "(But) it's hard for me to change my mind... (so I think) it's hard for the large mass of the MS establishment to do that too."
Many of the 100 pairs of ears in the Earl Grey room hung on Thornton's words. Minutes after his veins were opened in a $10,000 balloon angioplasty procedure last month, he said, he had warm fingers. Warm toes. And now, more energy than he'd had in almost 25 years. After Thornton finished telling this to the Earl Grey crowd, hands shot up. "Before your treatment, could you stand on that chair the way you're doing?" asked Cathi Sleva, who came to the meeting to support a friend with MS.
"Not without falling over," Thornton said quietly.

Er, well, I'd love to. Right now I'm just watching and hoping it becomes possible. The theory sounds right to me, unlike all the blather in the past. Because of the type I have, there's been nothing (however ineffective) anyway, and due to other complications I wouldn't do well on medication.
This (as I understand it) works for other types than just R/R, and is a fairly simple and repeatable mechanical procedure. If there can be eye surgery clinics that "do" each eye for 1k$ why can't there be clinics addressing this procedure once things are past the testing phase? Big pharma is against it, though, and they have it all bought.
