I know Atlas misalignment causes CCSVI - why is MS Socety wasting time and money

What is the MS Society doing about CCSVI?

We've been working with MS Societies in Canada, USA, Italy, France and the MS International Federation to coordinate research and information on CCSVI. On the basis of this work, the MS Society in the USA made the international call for research into CCSVI to allow researchers from any country around the world to apply for funding.
The seven projects, costing more than $2.4 million, are a step in the right direction for CCSVI research and are aimed at providing the answers that are needed as quickly as possible.
We hope that by working together, and in a coordinated way, we’ll improve our understanding of CCSVI and its potential link with MS.

Why isn’t the MS Society UK currently funding CCSVI research?

We want to see key research in this area completed so that people with MS can get the answers they need as quickly as possible. We're open to funding research into CCSVI and MS, as long as it is high quality, relevant and adds to the knowledge about the relationship between CCSVI and MS.
We also encouraged UK-based researchers to apply for funding for CCSVI-related projects through the National MS Society’s (based in the USA) call for research.
