The traditional auto-immune theory of MS remains speculative despite decades of study and a new theory called CCSVI (chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency) has been proposed.  This will be described along with clinical outcomes in 240 patients and results of relevant testing.

Speaker David Hubbard MD is the founder of the Hubbard Foundation. Dr. Hubbard is a board-certified neurologist who spent the early part of his career in pain management and drug development. He has had a life-long interest in the mind-brain problem, majored in philosophy at Yale, and received a Masters in Counseling Psychology at Stanford, an MD at University of Connecticut and his neurology training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he was chief resident.

The vision of David Hubbard MD for the Hubbard Foundation is to investigate the neurophysiological foundations of consciousness and meditation and their influence on brain functioning, health and peace. The Hubbard Foundation uses fMRI to conduct this important research. fMRI stands for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and uses MRI technology to measure the changes in blood flow to brain areas associated with specific brain functions.

Dr. Hubbard's vision took a new direction in 2009 when his son Devin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The Hubbard Foundation and the Hubbard family are dedicated to the search for earlier and more sensitive ways to diagnose neurodegenerative disorders, like Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI), and to track these horrible illnesses so that treatments can be tried long before the onset of inflammatory lesions.

The Hubbard Foundation is IRB approved to test and treat CCSVI in MS patients in San Diego, CA. Data is collected as part of this study for publication. The Foundation also has an IRB approved Multi-Center Registry for CCSVI Testing and Treatment, making IRB approved CCSVI testing and treatment available across the US. Data is collected for publication.
