On December 1, the US National Multiple Sclerosis Society has issued a statement regarding CCSVI.  You can read it in its entirety at

This is a topic that keeps appearing in the forum.  There are official
statements on the NMSS sites for the US, Canada and the UK.  All are in favor of additional funding to research this theory.  

We need to continue to stress that this is still in the research phase and has not been promoted as a *cure* for MS by Dr Zamboni and others, but rather a way to stop the MS attacks.  

To add to the discussion on CCSVI, Justine has just posted a statement from the Myelin Repair Foundation.  If you are not familiar with MRF, you might want to take the time to learn more about this MS patient led organization that is also doing *outside the box* research.  You can read their statement here:
