That's why even a limited number of stem cells are highly effective when they are super-selectively infused directly to the intraluminal point of dilation where there will be tissue damage as a result of expanding the balloon. Yes some are lost to blood flow, but the dose is considered to be clinica...

DrS, Then we were simply misunderstanding one another. Thanks for the clarification and I whole-heartedly agree with you. Many operators show an astonishing lack of either competence or regard for the patient when it comes to endovascular interventions, let alone follow-up interventions at intervals...

Blossom; That's a loaded question and I better be careful how I answer that. I have seen two types of patients over the last two years, generally broken down into: a) Those who have previously had the liberation therapy, but restenosed subsequent to their vein dilation, and b) Those who are in the c...

ErikaSlovakia: The therapy protocol seen in the video follows various recent trials (Harris, Sidiq, et al, 2012, Cambridge, Connick, et al, 2012) where marrow derived stromal cells were expanded to clinical doses. MSC neuroprogenitor cells from BM were found to have various properties (adhesion, etc...

Cheerleader: That's terrific news for your husband, but I'm addressing the thousands of people for which the 'liberation therapy' has failed as an effective intervention. Not everyone's veins are the same; anatomical structures (including abnormal valves) are different and of course erratic hemodyna...

1eye: Yes exactly. When we are infants up to adolesence we have billions of MSCs coursing through our veins ready to locate at the site of any injury or area of inflammation. Healing happens within days after that. MSCs are the body's protector when we are young. They also readily pass through the b...

Cec, I am a medical researcher studying the protocol now being performed at CCSVI Clinic. Professionally I am also a member of the International Cellular Medicine Society (ICMS). I have no financial interest whatsoever in CCSVI Clinic.

With all due respect Dr. Sclafani, the 'liberation procedure' doesn't work by itself. Can you honestly say it does? Or that the current trials will be successfully concluded so that vein dilation will become an approved mainstream therapy for MS given the current findings? (NL study as bellwether). ...
