Well here we go again... The National MS Society has their big National Conference this weekend in Chicago.

When I look at the schedule, I don't see any mention of CCSVI. They just talk about the MS Research Pipeline. It sure sounds like they are only going to be talking about drugs again. Seems like it's all about fundraising and drugs, year after year. What a surprise that is eh.

Just look at all those drug sponsors:

For those of you following my really old notes, this info will not be a surprise, but for some, you might find these pics from the 2009 National MS Society Conference a bit disturbing.

While the world was waking up to CCSVI, and people were staring to discover that this breakthrough was going to change MS forever. They were playing mini golf, reading palms, watching marching bands, and fooling around with goofy hats and rubber chickens. 

I bet not one bloody second was spent on anything to do with CCSVI.

Now a year later the National MS Society will have their 2010 Conference. Has anything changed?
