CCSVI Treatment and MS Patients—How Does it Help!

According to CCSVI activist and blogger Joan Beal,

“Dr. Paolo Zamboni found a new medical condition when he noted that (MS) Multiple Sclerosis patients have stenotic veins draining the brain and spine. Through his blinded research, he found a condition he called Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI). It was new technology--Doppler ultrasound--that showed him the blood was refluxing and slowed in MS patient’s brains.“

Through the corrective surgical procedure of angioplasty, and in some cases the insertion of stents in veins, many Multiple Sclerosis patients have found that their quality of life has improved greatly. Immediately after surgery many of their MS symptoms diminished greatly and or disappeared. Below are excerpts from varied people with MS and their personal results that they have experienced since getting treatment for CCSVI.

On my web site CCSVI Locator I have had MS patients post their personal experiences with CCSVI treatments. Reading these will make you wonder why the Medical Community is so slow and even antagonistic towards adopting this new theory of treatment for MS patients.

Val Hoenecke  In Poland  ”…three days post liberation. Can't describe the way I feel. I can walk so much better, I don't need Modifying (stimulant) to stay awake during the day. It feels like someone has turned the lights on. Great doctors here and the people of this country are beautiful. Do not hesitate to get liberated. You won't believe the outcome!”

Denise Manley On the East Coast ”...I am liberated! OMG! What a difference! My left jugular was completely collapsed with blood clot; I have a stent in that vein under the clavial and one up behind my ear. ... I walked out of the hospital without a cane. I have balance!”

Kerri” In Australia “….G'day everyone. It has now been 7 weeks since I had the Balloon Venoplasty to open my two stenosed jugular veins. Yesterday I had a review with my Neurologist and he was surprised to see my improvements. To those who call my improvements placebo affect... just take note of my Neuro's response to my progress :o)”

Bill in British Columbia, “…"Everything is better... toes, fingers warm, eyesight improved, sleeping better, transferring easier, head clear, legs stronger, started using a walker again. I thank God for my life back in so many ways. Keep the faith, keep hopeful."

To the medical establishment it seems these testimonies prove nothing and are just antidotal evidence at best. They want full fledged five to ten years studies before fully embracing the concept of CCSVI many medical establishment are refusing to perform these quality of life procedures.

To the MS patients who testified above and a few hundred more the procedure has been a life altering event which they are happy to have had and wish every MS patient could benefit from CCSVI treatment like they have.
