From my perspective, CCSVI treatment is most likely to help if you are afflicted with balance, fatigue and autonomic function problems. Whether it helps anything in terms of long-term disease progression is anybody's guess. Don't believe those who say they "know" it is a hoax OR that they KNOW it is a "cure" for MS: the international Cochrane review meta-study of CCSVI research says that the jury is still out on any claims, be they positive or negative. Note: I collaborated on the write-up of the meta-study.

Ted thats a fair comment and I dont think your involvement in the/our Cochrane review can in any way be described as 'conflicted' but rather as highly beneficial. The review included clinicians and other people with MS so we were a very equipoised team. The jury is still out but/and if you found benefit having balanced any potential risk thats great to hear.
