Sofia, it is possible that you have CTOS, another problem that presents itself along with CCSVI in many patients.

In that time, the surgeries were done in Madrid by two surgeons. 1600 persons had been operated. The surgery existed since the beginning of the 1980's. I cannot remember what happened exactly, but the surgeries were stopped. Sonia, one of these two spanish surgeons is still performing the CTOS surg...

Do you have MS? Are you looking into this too? Sounds interesting No, I don't. My sister does. Many patients are reporting excellent results from CTOS surgery in Spain. I believe that some people have jugular veins stenosis, others CTOS and some have both conditions. Probably that's the reason why ...

I still wonder how Swank's patients were able to achieve such a low relapse rate, and minimal progression of disability. Were his observations real or skewed by bias? Some of his original patients must still be about. The diet was most effective when started just after the onset of MS. Also, commit...

Hi Helen, I was wondering the same thing. I agree with you that low blood viscosity is a factor here. I would add more flexible veins, endothelial health and lack of plaque buildup as protection against blockages in some cases.

I believe that if they looked, they would find problems in the vertebral arteries (70% of PwMS seem to have a condition called TOS -Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) causing low oxygen in the brain. I just can't understand why they don't look at this issues.

It is possible that CTOS and CCSVI are associated and a positive in the first you have high probability of the second, but for sure, they are different conditions. Anyway, it is clear that nobody knows too much about this subject at this moment. Yes, I agree. Another possibility is that those who t...

Last Friday my sister visited Dr.Castillo in Madrid, who performs surgery to correct CTOS. I was there with her talking to him. As he explained to us, his theory is the one developed by Dr.Fernández Noda. In the last 20 years, he has found that 70% of the MS patients that he has evaluated using eco-...

For the last 3 weeks I have been experiencing the same breathing problems that you describe. A very annoying sensation, although I also think is anxiety related. How are you guys doing? Have your breathing problems resolved by themselves?

Less than 50%? Are they using dr.Zamboni's protocol?

Hi, The neurologists at National Health System in Spain don't seem to be much interested in CCSVI. I have also contacted the National MS Society, but their answer is that they do not recommend the liberation procedure, not even the testing (unbelievable). My sister has an appointment with Dr.Simka i...

It is a shame that the same author wrote an uncritical piece on the National Post some time ago about capsiacin (cayenne) being a cure for diabetes (Diabetes breakthrough he said) because of the results of one lab experiment..ON MICE. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=a042812e-49...

Sorry Eva, and congratulations on your improvements!
