Dr. A. Embry - Why Direct-MS Advocates that Persons with MS Should Get Tested and Treated for CCSVI As Soon As Possible
Ashton Embry, Direct-MS, April, 2010
Introduction
Currently, the biggest controversy in the world of multiple sclerosis is whether or not persons with MS should get tested and treated for CCSVI as soon as possible. Two distinct camps have developed in regards to this controversy.
- Derzeit ist die größte Kontroverse in der Welt der multiplen Sklerose, ob Menschen mit MS so bald wie möglich auf CSVI getestet und behandelt werden sollten. Zwei verschiedene Lager haben sich bei dieser Kontroverse entwickelt.
No Treatment for a Long Time Position
The neurologists and the National MS Societies (e.g. MS Society of Canada, NMSS) have taken the stance that persons with MS should not get tested and treated for MS until proper research which clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of such treatment is done and published. The rationale for this position is that we do not know if such treatment will be helpful and that it is possibly harmful.
These groups neglect to mention that the research they want to have will take at least 8-10 years to complete and this is a very optimistic estimate given the well established length of time to test MS drugs (15 years and counting for Campath). Furthermore, Dr Mark Freedman, a neurologist who in January publicly declared CCSVI is a hoax, has recently stated that such research would cost in the vicinity of 50 million dollars. No one has ever mentioned where such huge amounts of money would come from. We do know that drug companies that fund almost all MS clinical trials will not be contributing to such research.
The bottom line is that the neurologists and MS Societies are telling persons with MS to wait until the research is done (likely at least 10 years and possibly never) before getting tested and treated for CCSVI. The decision-making chart below helps to understand why they are advocating for delayed treatment………..
