 Post subject: EGCG Question
PostPosted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 10:02 am 
If we can ever connect with Dr. Dake, we're going to Stanford. He tried to call us 3 times while we were at Mass Saturday evening, one time was on my mobile phone which I always turn off in church.

In the meantime, I've been pondering on iron chelation, finding rx drugs like M30, HLA20, and deferiprone, but also finding highly touted supplements for iron chelation like EGCG (in green tea extract) and circumin. Steve's ...

 Post subject: How diffuse hypoxia of the brain changes a person...
PostPosted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 7:31 am 
Quote:
Increasingly, elaboration of inflammatory cytokines appears key to the brain-based response to hypoxia, as evidenced by the biobehaviors of malaise, fatigue, lethargy, and loss of interest in the physical and social environment. These sickness symptoms implicate hypoxia-dependent activation of the neuroimmune system as a key component of acute hypoxia.

I've mentioned before that Jeff's first signs of his MS progression- which began 15 years ago, although he ...

 Post subject: Neck Feedback desired
PostPosted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 5:09 am 
OK,

Since I had felt a little better and then promptly overdid it, I want some feedback from the others who have gotten through all of the surgery after stuff. I have a little different type of 'feeling' in it now and wanted to check it out with you all. I can turn my head fully now and it doesn't hurt at all. I've been driving and everything. Well it now feels very focused on ...

 Post subject: Spoke to Alex today in Dr. Dake's office
PostPosted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 4:46 pm 
I spoke to Alex today, Dr. Dake's assistant. I am sending my history and MRI's to Dr. Dake tomorrow. Alex told me she doesn't work on Friday but when she came back on Monday she had 25 voice mails waiting for her regarding this procedure.

I mentioned CCSVI to my GP (internist) today and she was extremely excited about it. She asked me to email her some information. I'm assuming I should send the top ...

 Post subject: Extensive mixed vascular malformation clinically imitatingMS
PostPosted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 3:52 pm 
"In the literature, there have been several re- ports of vaseular malformations that run a long insidious course and simulated multiple sclerosis .

However, in most published case reports, vaseular malformations were homo- genous and monofoeal.

We would like to demonstrate a case with fluctuating progres- sive neurological deficit and multiple differ- ent vascular malfonnations involving cere- brum, brain stem, cerebellum, spinal cord ...

PostPosted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:03 pm 
Anybody have Dr. Dake's address handy? I want to send him the disc of my CT scans, but I don't know where to send it to. I left a message at his office today, but never received a return call. I'm sure they'll call tomorrow, but I'd like to get a jump on this...

 Post subject: Getting the blood thinned to the theraputic level
PostPosted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 11:37 am 
Anyone else having trouble getting the blood to thin to the therapeutic levels. My first blood work came back at 1.04 which is just in the high end of normal. I was taking warferin at 5 mg / day up to that point. Now taking 7.5 mg / day and will be re tested next week. Even with the higher dose it seemed after suffering an attack of the ankle grabbing blackberries that my blood ...

Hi everyone! I just got back from a week vacation in Rhode Island and boy did I miss a lot! I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on everything. Thanks to needled (she PMed me) I have already read the preliminary reults of the liberation 100. How exciting!

So here what's going on in CT. I spoke with my Neuro and my PCP about all of this and both were interested ...

 Post subject: Risk factors for or clues to CCSVI???
PostPosted: Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:25 pm 
I recently stumbled on this forum for CCSVI and would like your thoughts. Obviously you cannot diagnose me and are not doctors/nurses (at least I don't think most of you are!) but I am stunned by the notion that MS could be vascular in nature. My case history seems related in strong ways.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago with optic neuritis, headache, dizziness, and cognitive issues. I have T2 lesions and black holes.

I ...
