  • Hi Kezzcass, Have all of you heard about the international CCSVI conference that starts Monday 21st Australian Time. Have not worked out the exact time yet. It runs over a couple of days and has Zamboni (sp) himself speaking

  • Well done folks. Good to see you out there spreading the word. I had no idea this is happening to people in our own country. We should have choice in health care not just what big pharma stuffs down our throats.

  • @NJSMKMMS Thanks :) This was a year ago and we are still pushing on to get this recognised. Everyone should have access to accurate information and the freedom to choose between treatments. When information is withheld (such as risks of pharmaceuticals) or info of other non drug treatments we cannot make the best decisions for our future health. It's complicated... but we have to advocate for ourselves and cast a critical eye on what we are prescribed. Thanks for your comment. Kerri

  • @NJSMKMMS Yes, we had a segment about 12 hours ago. Hope you caught it. :)

  • Congratulations to all of you guys and girls who took part in this FLASH MOB.

    Thank you to you all for getting this out there in the public domain for all of us with MS.

    Keep up the good work and i will do what i can from my end.

    Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all :-) x x x

  • @sharpyangel Thank you - how's things in Perth going? Have a great Christmas :o)

  • Hi Kerri, Great Flash Mob. Did it make the Melbourne Papers or media. I hope so. :)... Saw you dancing. Are you walking without your cane now?? Kindest Regards, Lou

  • @LouLou3078 Hi Lou, we had a journo and photographer (freelancer) so hoping to see it and the broader story coming out as a feature health article in a major paper. (not sure if I'm meant to tell everyone that!) No cane for me - I don't think anyone watching me would notice that I walk differently, I only have a vague stiffness in my step now.

  • Great vid, good choice of the music!

    ☆☆☆☆☆

  • @Zzozze Thanks :o)

  • GREAT VIDEO! GREAT FLASH MOB!

  • @Prissie28 Aw thanks Astrid.

  • Wonderful to see such a turn out. Love the message.. we all know it works and we all know how unfair it is not to receive this treatment when so many others are treated for similar conditions.

  • @Doviedove Thanks. You are so right. :)

  • FANTASTIC! The immediacy & importance of CCSVI can't be underestimated, many with MS have had their health & independence restored!!

    Don't stop at CCSVI, don't accept anything less than the ur full birthright "ABUNDANT HEALTH"! People of the likes of BILL CLINTON, HUGH JACKMAN, MIKE TYSON, OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN, GREG CHAPPEL have awakened to the next evolutionary milestone for well-being a PLANT BASED DIET! (Vegetarian, Vegan or Raw)

    /watch?v=z3xOU2tLl7g (another inspirational video with a mob)

  • @veganath :o) Thanks,

  • So sad to see this turning into a forum of "one against the other" statements. Getting CCSVI available is a good thing whether it works or not. But to accuse people on here of not being compassionate is not helpful in any way. Vern is one of the most compassionate people I have met on here. I don't take Tysabri; he does not say I am wrong. CCSVI did not work for my friend, nor did Tysabri; I just support her. We are all in this "Let's find WAYS to rid us of the MonSter!"

  • @bvalerieaThis is not a debate between Tysabri and CCSVI. 2.5 million people have MS, only about 70,000 have ever taken Tysabri, only about 1000 in Australia. In terms of the big picture Tysabri is barely in it for the vast majority. We want to see investment into finding out whether CCSVI could get rid of this MonSter.There have been zero dollars spent on it in Australia to date and our video is about getting it on the agenda here. Vern's comment could be viewed as opposing our effort.

  • Kerri and the rest of CCSVI Australia BRAVO!!!!!!!! What a great way to show the world :-) Love the song choice and seeing some faces I know! So proud of our MS Famliy!

    Hugs,

    Andrea

  • @MSVlogSupport Thanks Andrea. So fun to get together with others (glad you picked out some familiar faces). I am proud of us all too. Kerri x

  • Well done Kerri and all of you there in Australia...so proud of you. From MS CCSVI EIRE...

  • @swalshable Thanks :)

  • Susan;

    I am somewhat confused by your comment. I made the comment on the flash mob video based on MY experience and MY thoughts about MS and the drugs or procedures involved. Tysabri has worked, and IS working for me, so why the vitriol regarding my decision to continue taking a drug that has gotten me out of a wheelchair and off of crutches? I just asked prudent and logical questions and, by Kerri’s response, she agreed.

    Please tell me—if you would—how my comments lacked compassion.

  • Awsome Kerri you look great by the way all Liberated and all.......... I agree world wide CCSVI World Event!......... My beautiful wife gets Liberated Jan12/2011. We are both disabled me with spine her with MS and we have been fundraising since June. We deserve treatment at home with care and compassion like any other person. Stand for Liberation until everyone is Liberated. DJ

  • @gypsy1701 Thank you :) All the very best to your wife. You are right, this is not a complicated or dangerous procedure - it should be done at home where you can get follow up. For those who say that Neuros are not providing barriers to this treatment... why are people having to travel abroad from countries that are well equipped to do it? It is appalling and a waste of money that few can afford. We are all grateful tho for every person who can do this - it adds to the 'anecdotal evidence' :)

  • I'm really impressed Kerri. Especially with you're dancing & that Bill was there. Was that an intentional pun on your part that he came "out of the blue", & into a sea of blue people. Lol.

    Hi Vern, you have to admit that if the majority of neuros agreed to allow their patients to have this everyone knows patients could have it now. Even1 of their colleagues, Dr Hubbard, agrees from personal experience that neuros are the main reason this is being blocked & he is ashamed & disillusioned by this

  • @rickileeway Haha - no pun intended - it just worked out well :) Bill has great compassion and openess. We are very grateful for his support of us as people with MS. This was his day off yet he came to show he cared. What a statement! Hope you are doing ok RIck. Kerri

  • great

  • Wow!!!!!!! now this is what i call taking action , fantastic.....the energy, the intention, the power and all done in a joyful way, You are a great example Kerri, and your team. WELL DONE and my best wishes.

    Carol

  • @3caroladams Yes you are right - taking action. It seems we've spent hours trying to get this in the media, given a fair hearing from MS Researchers and Neurologists and it is largely falling on deaf ears. This is not a flash in the pan. We need to expect more from those entrusted to care for us and let them know. Thanks for your comment. Kerri

  • Check you all out!! How awesome. It's so great to see this.

  • @shawn1430 Thanks Shawn :) So happy we can share it in this way.

  • Great video! Very inspiring!

  • @karirokker Thanks :)

  • Kerri you are awesome. :) maybe we could do an international video like this to promote CCSVI awareness. I just LOVE this theme and what you've done using this song. :) (i had to post again so you know how much this is appreciated by a lot of people. :)

  • @donotconcede Thanks Jude. Hey an international video - sounds like fun. :)

  • wow, you did a great job.. proud of all of you!

    FREEDOM!!!!

  • @omexmc80 Thanks Omar. I feel real proud of all of us too. Kerri x

  • Awesome.

    I am very proud.

    What a great video!

  • @irishbear76 Thanks Mark, makes me smile to think of you looking at me with a proud face :) Kerri x

  • Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Kerri: you. So. Totally. ROCK!

  • @QuickQuix Haha - nah we ALL rock! Could never have done it without the people who were there. It is amazing how people mobilse for a good cause and this was a huge team effort. Also there are so many talented and clever PwMS - imagine what we could all do in the world if we didn't have to have this fight? K

  • Great stuff........ Thanks Kerri.

  • @boatjohn1 Thanks John :)

  • Kerri, YOU ROCK!! This is so incredibly awesome and I will be sharing it w/ viral speed! ;) I'm proud of you, girl.

    xo handipeep

  • @handipeep Thanks for sharing the post :) We really appreciate it. Thanks for your encouragement too. Kerri xo

  • I am speech less which is hard for me to be LOL just ask Judy :)

    Impressive job hats off to all, we should all be dancing!

    Hugs to you girls, susan

  • @ThePennygirl Ahaha speechless you reckon? Well I'll take that ;o) Yes we should all be dancing - I pray one day we all will. Kerri xoxo

  • Hey Tiny Dancer! You're ace - well done for pulling this all off so successfully. The rain even stopped for it! (thanks God ;-) It was such fun, and great to catch up with Sara again - so nice to see how well she's doing since having the procedure too. I feel like such an activist! How on earth did you get the CEO of the MS society, or should i say your mate Bill, to show up??

  • @missalgernon Haha - I am totally insane! You are an activist! And also on your own channel with all your diet stuff which is important too. I mentioned to Bill a couple of weeks back and he showed up out of the blue. What a bloke - he understands his role is to support and help PwMS and that includes us - we are not rebellious patients, but PwMS with a legitimate request. I appreciate his willingness to engage in this conversation about MS & CCSVI. Thanks for coming x

  • Dearest Kerri, thank you for helping me to "be there". I so wished it. :) Freedom is a song that has always inspired me. You've taken it and given it a whole new meaning. I love this video SO much. Thank you thank you thank you :) I'm singing this with you. Love you, Judy

  • @donotconcede :) Yes well it is true to say we are all 'here.' Leanne picked this song (I was not even going to go with a tune but so glad she insisted just a couple of days before) and it really reflected our statement. Thanks, K

  • LOL This is fantastic! I love it, thank you!

  • @thepasture Thanks, it was a heap of fun and hopefully raises some awareness. K

  • LOVE IT!!!! Well done everyone! Thank you Kerri.....freedom!

  • @andie221 Andie - thanks for the dance! You are one awesome woman.  So proud to be walking alongside the likes of you. Kerri xx

  • @kezzcass Dear Kerri, with these wonderful videos and the efforts you go to for the benefit of all........I am proud of you! xxx

  • @andie221 Thanks lovely lady :)

  • Awesome and I just love the presence of the police!! We are such rebels! LOLOLOL

  • @SHIRLEYRENSHAW Hahaha - I have never even had a speeding fine. Getting arrested would have been hilarious! LOL Thanks, Kerri

  • Go Aussies! x

  • @STINGOALI Thanks :) Will pass it on.

  • AWESOME! Thank you Kerri

  • @Andrea0414D Our pleasure ;)

  • Kerri;

    The flash mob was a great way to raise awareness for CCSVI, but I disagree with some blanket statements made in the video. Not ALL neurologists are blocking people from getting the angioplasty (mine isn't for example) and not everyone with MS has narrowed veins. Just like not everyone with narrowed veins has MS.

    I am ALL for anything that offers relief for those who suffer from MS but blanket statements that have been shown to be "not true" tend to muddy the debate.

  • @vbeachy Good comment Vern. I have another tysabri infusion this Monday. Jon K Sayers

  • @vbeachy I don't disagree about the comment about 'MS people have blocked veins.' It is true to say a majority do but I did not specify. In many ways our softly softly approach is not working so it was meant to have some punch to it. As for the Neuros, again I never said all, but locally the fact is that it is near impossible to get the procedure done in a public hospital in Melbourne at the moment. This is due to the hospital Neurologists - fact. Sadly this debate is already filthy. Kerri

  • @vbeachy

    Maybe you should leave your (Tysabri Advocate) comments on your back door! If your Neuro is for CCSVI ? Then WHY? VERN... not get this treatment for yourself?

    Don't throw backwash ! your (patient advocate) comments! on a good pointed video that brings hope! To those of us that failed all the CRAB drugs! we have no choices! WHAT THE HELL WHERE IS YOUR COMPASSION????

  • @ThePennygirl Thanks Susan xx

  • Inspirational!! Great Job

  • @MsLogicJock Thanks :)

  • Awesome!!

  • @SRainbolt Thanks Sarah - everyone who was there certainly are!
