Re: Pregnancy after CCSVI stenting

My daughter has two jugular stents, placed 1 1/2 years ago in Poland. She recently had her 1st baby: natural childbirth; no drugs; uneventful pregnancy; very healthy, alert, strong baby boy 8lb. 15 oz.; went home the next morning. We convinced the hospital to treat her as a low risk birth. This took...

It's difficult not being able to do what you were destined to do! So happy for Dr. Dake that he has finally gotten the go-ahead! And, happy for all the people who will benefit from his expertise. One year ago, I took a giant leap of faith and went to Katowice, Poland for the CCSVI procedure, after h...

Hi, I did hyperbaric therapy for two months, 8 months prior to having the CCSVI procedure. It helped some symptoms abate for up to 4 months, and others for a few minutes. The many symptoms that improved, convinced me that CCSVI was for real when I first heard about it. I knew about how much I would ...
