Eastern Canada CCSVI Screening

Update: Ville-Marie does not perform CCSVI scans please contact Westmount Square instead

I have recently been made aware of two additional locations in Montreal, QC that are performing screening of CCSVI.

These two locations are:

  • Westmount Square Medical Imaging
  • Radiologie Ville-Marie

Both of these locations are accepting patients to be screened for CCSVI, in fact Westmount Square Medical has this service prominently displayed on their web-page.  Both of these location require that you have your doctor make a requisition before you call for an appointment.

Also, both location are providing the doppler screening procedure as defined by Dr Zamboni.  The cost for the procedure is estimated to be around $450 CAD, however if you are covered under an insurance plan you may be able to get the cost covered by your plan.

Finally, although it is uncertain whether it is still being provided the Westmount clinic was providing the MRV screening procedure for $900.

This is a great step forward in Canada to have this service available to patients who want to have it performed, now if only we can find some surgeons to perform the procedure.

Information about the clinics follows:

Westmount Square Medical Imaging

  • Information about screening found on their front page
  • Requires an requisition from your doctor
  • Affiliate with McGill University
  • Call to book at ph: (514)939-9764 x2714

    I have Primary MS at 56 !? I've had imaging done 15 years ago in Barrie to analyze blood flow, told blood was moving unusual......and later told, by a different Dr. there was nothing showing in any bloodwork to indicate MS (this was prior to 2004, and I'm in Toronto at this point) so why now do they say....hey! guess what you have .... Being diagnosed as primary, the pharmaceuticals have nothing to fear from me....I don't require their prescriptions! I have a great Dr, (currently in North Bay, Ontario who just gave me a referral for Port Perry Imaging, in less than 2 weeks. I am having this compared with what was done 15 years ago.
    To quote the MS Society of Canada at an AGM ... "We have to learn whether MS causes blockage of veins or blockages cause MS". I believe the blockages do......I will keep everyone updated as I move forward on my journey.

    Canada is a country so rich we can afford to pay Quebecers to make babbies.$10,000 a pop.Why can,t we find the monies for CCSVI? A billion dollars for security foe the G20.WHAT.Need i go on.When you see crap like this going on,little wonder they need security.

    The MS Controversy – an Actual Perspective


    My wife and I just returned from Poland where she had the Liberation Treatment done by Dr. Simka and his Team on May 19th, 2010. Because all patients stay at the same hotel, it makes it very easy to meet, to talk and to bond with others – and to get first-hand accounts of how each person is feeling on a daily basis, both before and after the operation. There is no better evidence of the impact of this “Liberation” procedure than that. We met, saw, listened to and became witness to the physical and emotional reactions of 20 MS patients and the family members and friends who accompanied them. Real people - real reactions – and real human “research”.

    EVERYONE reported “Some Relief” of their MS symptoms following the angioplasty operation. To repeat – ALL reported improvements.

    Some were able to move fingers that they hadn’t moved before. Some stood up from their wheelchair for the first time in years. Cold hands and cold feet became warm and normal.
    The colour in people’s faces was vibrant. Others reported “more energy” than ever before. Another couple was able to walk around the hotel, yes with her cane, but much farther than before she had the operation. Less fatigue was reported by several others.
    All of these improvements were REAL – we witnessed the improvements, first hand. It was REAL.

    Granted, no one threw away their cane or disposed of their wheelchair – but that is not what anyone in the group of 20 had sought, even hoped for. Please note that no one who takes drugs for MS expects to throw away their cane or dispose of their wheelchair – no one.

    On the other hand, every MS sufferer wants “Some Relief” of their symptoms. The notion that we will find a cure for MS is rather preposterous, based on the historical evidence surrounding MS.

    Drugs have been prescribed and taken by thousands with no reported “cure” or major improvement in symptoms.

    As several people stated in our Liberation Treatment group in Poland – “I feel more relief now than at any time in the many years I’ve been taking drugs”.

    All these facts beg several questions – questions that have not been addressed with honour and integrity by the MS Society – the MS Medical practitioners – and many others.

    What is it that the MS Society and all the other so-called helpful institutes such as UBC – the Buffalo Center – St. Joseph’s Hospital in Hamilton – the False Creek Medical Center which featured the procedure done by Dr. Godley and reported in McLean’s – the Barrie Vascular Imaging Center which featured the operation done by Dr. Sandy McDonald – and others – want to prove?

    Are they out to prove that the Liberation Treatment is a cure? No it is not – that has never been claimed. And by the way NONE OF THE DRUGS that MS patients have taken for decades have provided a cure, so why the double-standard?

    Are they trying to prove that angioplasty is safe and easy to perform? That has been proven for decades.

    What is it therefore, that they are trying to prove? What’s the purpose of the “research” they want to do? How serious are they when only $100,000 is allotted to the “research?


    What is the real TRUTH that the MS Society is hiding? What is the Medical Community really afraid of? What is the influence that the Pharmaceutical companies have over the MS community and what role do they play in this “resistance movement”? Indeed, why the resistance to the Liberation Treatment from every MS corner in North America?

    Is anyone out there honourable enough to help explain why there is such a deafening silence from the pharmaceutical companies who make drugs for MS treatment, and who are, presumably, the experts in MS?

    Can someone out there prove that the drugs improve the symptoms of MS as much as the Liberation Treatment does?

    We have belonged to a variety of MS patient groups – all we have seen and witnessed for the past 30 years is a deterioration of conditions and an inhuman suffering of all the side effects that the drugs cause. Why isn’t there “research” on the impact of these cruel and relentless side effects?

    Here’s another question that begs for an answer. Why is it that the Westmount Square Medical Imaging Clinic, which is owned and operated by 26 Radiologists affiliated with McGill University, charging $1,250 for tests they claim are for CCSVI – but in fact are not accurate? YES, we have proof of this on disc!!

    Why does the False Creek Clinic charge $1,600 for CCSVI testing, which has proven to be incorrect by Dr. Simka himself? Yes – there is proof of this as well.

    35 years of cold hands and cold feet were relieved on May 20th, 2010 because of the procedure. Stamina was dramatically improved on May 20th because of the procedure. More walking steps were added because of the procedure. More movement in fingers and hands resulted because of the Liberation treatment.

    WHICH DRUGS CAN MAKE SIMILAR CLAIMS????

    The fact is that hundreds, perhaps thousands by now, have had the Liberation Treatment and have ALL SHOWN SOME IMPROVEMENTS. That is an unassailable fact.

    Is the Liberation Treatment a cure? NO.

    Does the Liberation Treatment result in an improvement in a variety of symptoms? YES – a resounding YES.

    So what’s the resistance all about? Is it a legal issue – yet all the release forms and legalities of angioplasty have long been in place for decades? Is it a “power” issue between various elements of the medical community – at the expense of those who suffer with MS? Why is it that the very people who call for research use words like “hoax” and “criminal” and other such descriptions – yet none of these unsavoury words are founded in “research”?

    The truly astonishing fact is that the entire Medical Community in North America has been placed in “SHUTDOWN” mode.

    WHY?

  • Deb Miskiw
    Thanks for your comments. I am puzzled (and angry) about the response of the medical community to CCSVI treatment. It seems that neurologists have become gatekeepers to our treatment. Why is that allowed? I didn't think we were automatically declared incompetent when we were diagnosed with MS. I also didn't think we gave neurologists the authority to decide for us what treatment/s we receive.

    Why aren't Medical Associations speaking out? Why aren't individual GP's speaking out? They seem afraid of their colleagues - that's not a healthy environment for real research to be conducted.

    On the one hand neurologists are claiming (without benefit of research findings) that CCSVI CAN'T be the cause of MS. On the other they are claiming to want proof that it IS the cure for MS before recommending it (allowing it?) for patients.

    Where is the MS Society in all this? They are just another arm of neurologists. They DO NOT advocate for patients if they think it might ruffle the feathers of the medical community. Shame, Shame on them. Do NOT support future fund raising initiatives until the MS Society can do their job and speak for us!

    Shame also on our Canadian government for not seeing through this and insisting we all receive screening and, when narrowed veins are found, treatment at once.

  • Frh2008
    What a wonderful comment with respect to the MS. I was diagnosed with MS in 1998 and of course looking back have had it way prior to that. I find it frustrating when we finally have some sort of hope, of course not a cure,and when you approach the medical field they are so negitive. It is defianatly a pharmasutical issue. Thanks for the information I am still looking into the treatment as I have been hitting road blocks the whole way.
  • I'm a care giver for a lady with MS and she called Westmount about a month ago to get some info,and they told her they were told to stop giving the test.I wonder who "they" are?
  • Believe
    Westmount his not doing the tests.... they've been advised by the college des medecins to hold off on them until they officially rule on the practice of this exam.

    Hi Alan,

    I am searching for anywhere in Canada that will do the scans for CCVSI and share the results with physicians in order to have the liberation procedure done. Where in Ontario did you get the doppler done? Thank you

  • Marty
    Well my wife is book for june 22 in Port Perry Imaging Centre for the doppler test....heres hopin here veins are blocked!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Alan
    Hi Traci,
    Yes you do get tested again when you go for the procedure and then they will know for sure whether you have a blockage or not. It just helps you to confirm and save the money on flights and hotels.Your call on the tests at False Creek. I don't know where you're at but I had the doppler done on my neck for free in Ontario.I'm scheduled for the procedure in Bulgaria on July 21st. Your call but it might be cheaper to see if you can get the doppler covered by the gov't then book for the treatment. Good luck.
  • Celia Foley
    Hello, my name is Celia. I live on Vancouver Island. Am going to go to Bulgaria to have the Liberation surgery but would really like to have the doppler done beforehand since I am REALLY low on funds it would stink to put out the money to go to Europe all for naught. I am curious, what avenue did you take to have your testing covered ? Thank-you
  • Traci
    Hi Iam on the waiting list for false creek in bc, But someone told me that when you get the surgery you get tested again, so now im thinking if that is true why pay for the first testing when you can use that money towards the surgery if they are going to test you again anyways. , but then i say well how would you know to get the surgery or not.if you dont have the test done first.
    confused.
  • Savoie J
    I am reading these toay July 11 and there is no dates on the notes. I have my name on the list in Albany NY but the list is about 6 month long.

  • Nathalie
    Hi,

    Can someone tell me if they have been to Westmount in Montreal to be tested. I am out here in Victoria and I am willing to go back to my home town to get at least a start on testing for CCSVI. It is actually cheaper for me to go back east on my airmiles then it is to go over on the ferry and pay $2300 at False Creek Surgical Clinic in Vancouver. Thank you!
  • Ded
    Hi, perhaps you've heard by now, but I read on the internet that this clinic is no longer offering screening - after all, it's affiliated with McGill University. The MS research community is part of Canadian universities and they are trying to close ranks and prevent any treatment from being developed - or even discussed. I can't believe that we, in Canada, have to fight for this.

    Hi Alan, can you pls let me know how to get in touch with Bulgaria as my husband had ppms and we are really interested. We had the doppler done in Port Perry which showed obstruction etc. We cant seem to find a place to do the MRI/MVR. We would really love to talk to you. Can you help us.
  • Ray C
    You know, I bet if the Internet did not exist, I'm sure our "western" medical community and so-called experts would have us all left in the dark. Thank God today, the commnication industry has given us this power to find out what's really going on. My wife has MS and the more I'm reading about CCSVI the more I'm distrusting our doctors here in Canada and the U.S. They better wake up, their reputation is on the line. We're not that stupid and naive.
  • Ashley
    I have a few questions that I can’t seem to find answers to. I have been seeing an MS neurologist (Dr.MacLean that works with Dr. Freedman) for almost 5 years, I have been having increased symtoms with very few remissions that my Dr. believes at some point should eventually point to MS as the culprit. The problem is that there is increasing damage being done to my body, tremor, hyper-reflexes, pupillary reflex issues, mobility issues with some attacks and on and on. Problem is the MRI’s show no plaques!! Is it possible that it could be CCSVI? We are at a loss. I just had an MRI the other night…again. Would CCVSI show up or would they have to be looking for that specifically? I'm writing to you here because I am desperate guys. Noone seems to want to make the call on a diagnosis and are just waiting to see what happens while my quality of life is going down the drain.

    Also wanted to make note that my brother, perfectly healthy 32 year old has had 2 blood clots with no origin known. Both developed in his jugular vein. He is on blood thinners for the rest of his life, I wonder if there would be some connection there
  • Alan
    I am scheduled to go to Port Perry for the exam this Saturday and was just yesterday given a mid-July date to have the CCSVI treatment performed in Bulgaria. I went to a seminar this past weekend in Toronto and was pretty frustrated to hear what I did. There were 4 doctors there from McMaster University who are all involved in the upcoming CCSVI study. The only thing that kept coming across loud and clear was that we need to speak to our politicians. It seemed that everyone had a muzzle on preventing them from speaking. I was diagnosed almost 18 years ago and my wife has been on Facebook with several others dealing with MS. She was even in contact with the woman who had flown from Toronto to Philadelphia to have the Liberation treatment done yesterday, had the IV in her arm and the hospital lawyers showed up and shut the place down. It is all about money and these big drug companies threatening not to fund and or support hospitals/ clinics if they support CCSVI. This unfortunately is the real truth. If you want the treatment done this year, it will have to be abroad because there is no way Canada or the US is letting this go. This is a 20 BILLION dollar a year game for these drug companies and we will lose. I was on the waiting list for Poland but that is about a year away. I don't have another year. Who knows what this relentless disease will do to me in that time. We need to take our own decisive action. I myself am booked and I hope all of you will soon be too.
  • Vdowswel
    Why don't you try going somehwere else, My Aunt has had MS for 18 years and she is going to Mexico to get this. I hate that we can't just offer it here but I promise that I wont stop raising money for those of you who need this treatment and once my Anuts is done we are going to set up a team and raise money to send others for the treatment. Over the pass 10 years I have helped raise money for MS and I think with everything we have done we gave them more then 60,000 and when my aunt told them what she was doing they said we can't help in any way and that was it, so now we will still do what we did before and we will help get others the treatment.

  • diane martin
    A few years ago, Freeman was a good guy. He used stem cells to 'cure' a young woman with an aggressive form of the disease. First, he destroyed her immune system, then he rebuilt it with stem cell therapy. A radical approach but it worked really well, at least for this woman. I found the story on the CTV/W5 website, which we're all familiar with thanks to our hero, Paolo Zamboni. So maybe his fury is a result of seeing his own research dreams go out the window thanks to this simple procedure pioneered by, of all things, a vascular research scientist (feh!).
    Freeman's antagonistic reaction to the liberation procedure seemed so extreme, I did wonder where it came from. Having a good guess now at least makes him seem more human to me. It doesn't change my mind, though. I'm still angry that these doctors have so much power over our lives. He doesn't get to decide my fate, though. I'm heading to Vancouver for scans this week.

  • ck kallo
    I am dissapointed to know thatthe possible treatment that can improve our lives is there but it can not be applied to us because lots of people are NOT interested...
    MONEY, Money, money! No highly paid MS Professor or Specialist or... will admit that this procedure can have even small benefits for people with MS.
    Is disgusting - is not about people is about some people and $$$!
    How about our rights to decide what we want to do with our lifes? Many of us are willing to sell their homes in order to pay for thie treatment, but we would need to fly overseas to have it done... Canadian economy does not need $$$? It sucks to wait mostly when you know that your ms can go wild anytime and you can get permanent disability at any moment...
  • Gypsy408
    Do you realize the billions and billions of dollars that the government, hospitals, etc. get kickbacks from the Big Drug Companies to suppress these cures. They have been doing it to us for my lifetime anyway. Do you know there is a natural cure for high cholesteral made in Canada, but not allowed to be sold in Canada. It works in 3 months my cholesteral was normal after 20 years of being very high.

    I would very much like to know what the natural cure is. My husband has high cholesteral for at least 25 years. My son is now battling it. Thank you.

    Thank you for submitting the information...I live in Ottawa, and have Dr. Freeman for my MS Specialist and approached him about this treatment and I was stunned by his attitude. I have had this dease for over 40 years and tired of looking for a cure,to have a doctor come out and be that negative ....maybe he should try wqalking in our shoes for awhile and then say it's unimportant.
  • Shirley Craven
    I just came across this website and your comment caught my eye, well they all did actually. I live in North Bay at the moment and I chose to go to Toronto. Freedman and O'Connor must be related. I was asked if I wanted to be part of a primary progressive study and said yes. Then got told by Dr Paul O'Connor I wasn't bad enough and that it was the pharmaceuticals that made the rules as to who qualified....I am 58 and was told I had PPMS in 2008! It does not run in my family...but 15 years ago before MS was even a dim light on the horizon, I fought to have doctors in Barrie (my hometown) tell me why I was having troubles in my neck, and pain there as well. They kept on giving me hearing tests, because the blood rushing in my ear was so loud. Finally got to someone who checked blood flow in my neck, was told something funny going on and that was it! No referrals anywhere. It is still a problem. I had some sort of "attack" for want of a better word, in 2000. MRI's and CT showed nothing....then 8 years later...MS !? I am tired of the lack of interest by the medical field in PPMS. All whom I've seen say there's nothing we can do for you.....Well I'm fighting back, they say they've never seen a case as mild as mine. But I have also researched and learned that a serious vascular disease can give a person MS like symptoms....Hmmm....Too bad the medical field can't understand that we know our bodies much more than they give us credit for......

  • Woodia_woodia
    Dr. Freedman is the biggest prick in Ottawa. He is a self-egotistical maniac who should be a rocket scientist debating non-life sensitive issues. He gets paid huge sums of money from drug companies and is completely biased. He has absolutely no regard for patient feelings and this is felt not only by patients, but also by his peers. If you have a cane, bash him over his bald head...a f**king moron at work!

    Hi Heather,

    I was happy to read you comment about Port Perry. Can you give me some more information as to who I can contact. I have tried all over to have the test done and so many just aren't will to do it because they feel it's part of research and should be left up to the researchers. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi,

    I just contacted the Ville Marie Radiologie Centre and they said that they do not do the CCSVI screening. They asked me to call the Westmount Square Medical Imaging Centre instead. Please update your website.
  • Rubiana Malla
    Hi fellow MS’rs,

    I just checked with MSP in British Columbia about getting the CCSVI testing done in Montreal covered. I was told that MSP does not cover anything that is not approved for funding. Before this can happen the testing needs to go through clinical trials. We all know that clinical trials are a long and tedious process. So, unfortunately, I think we are on our own for the time being.
