I had the CCSVI procedure about a year ago and honestly, I feel worse today than I did prior to the procedure.coincidence? maybe,but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Why are all of the stories about drugs? The most promising news in MS treatment options is angioplasty to treat Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency. It won’t cure MS, but it does oftern relieve many MS symptoms, and may in fact slow or even halt progression of the disease. Why does this not even deserve a mention in this story?

I hate to have to agree with Jesuit at least to some exstent… I have had MS for 18 years and have just recently been truly had debilitating results. I give the medications that or RX by my PCP and they are denied because they want more and more not only costly but dangerous test done. I am denied short term disablity over and over because they want more and more info. What more information does a company need than what the PCP’s are giving. Why are insurance companies not onboard with current research and what Dr’s are RXing.. It’s frustrating and hurtful both in the body and mind…. Why can’t everyone just be on the same page with MS and allow the MANY MANY different people get the desired help they need???

The endless pursuit of abstract understanding goes on; lucrative research studies proliferate. Efforts to control, to manage, to treat symptoms, predominate. “Approved” therapies are examined and re-examined.
Cures are not truly sought because, apparently, orthodox medicine does not believe they exist.
Sound outrageous? Name a few actual cures these white-coated elitists have come up with.
