This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi dr. Sclafani, Can you say something about the maximum height of a stenosis that is still treatable? Or: a what distance beneath the base of the skull it should be that it can be treated without any risk? (I know any treatment implies a risk, crossing the street as well.) Or can the stenosis resid...

Hi dr Sclafani. I am reposting my question. I suppose you have overlooked it. Your work is highly appreciated. In the Netherlands your thread is spelled by several key users of our forums and duplicated on ours. So, please keep up the good work. People like you give us hope that openings for CCSVI w...

Hi dr Sclafani. Your work is highly appreciated. In the Netherlands your thread is spelled by several key users of our forums and duplicated on ours. So, please keep up the good work. People like you give us hope that openings for CCSVI will be found in the (near) future. Anyway, I want to ask you i...

On a side note, I wonder what's more risky, a venogram to confirm CCSVI or a lumbar puncture to confirm MS? My neuro insisted on an LP despite the fact I had numerous lesions. In hindsight I wonder if that was even necessary. None of the two are risky. MS can not be confirmed (yet) by showing CCSVI...

Hi Villagemaid, to start with your question: there is no touristic package deal. You have to arrange everything yourself. Dr. Vogl is an experienced surgeon, but we have some question marks. According to our findings dr. Vogl does not include scanning the azygos. I think that is a serious shortcomin...

Thanks Lelo for your reply. Those cotton balls is one of the least irritating symptons. They do not hinder me with walking or move around. Things like the fatigue and a leg that is not working correctly, are far more annoying. Only because practically nobody mentioned it, I was curious and therefor ...

I wondered if the feeling of the cotton balls under the feet still exists after the liberation procedure is performed? Often warm feet and hands are reported right after the treatment, but no one has mentioned something about the cotton balls feeling under the feet. While this is a common symptom, I...

So is there a clinical trial at Stanford or not? a Annad, you are right. I see in de 'Google buffers' that a clinical trial is set up. That makes sense with the email I received from Stanford after my mail to endorse Dr Dake. In this mail the dean of the university mentioned a clinical trial that t...

Hi Erika, why did you start again with LDN? And were you releaved from any symptoms after taking LDN again? If so, which weere they? If I remember correctly, you did not experience any positive effects after the liberation treatment (also nor any negative). That was a while ago. How is it now? Still...

I'm hoping to be able to publish a full report sometime over the weekend. Please bear with me, I'm working on it as we speak. Well, not actually as we speak, because as we speak I'm writing this post, and obviously not working on it. But you know what I mean... Well, your wit isn't affected by the ...

Hi Mangio, thanks for your reply. I recall such statement as well. Angiotensin finds its root cause in de kidneys. Angiotensin produces angiotensin II that will result in a higher liquid consumption and has also a narrowing (sic!!) effect on blood vessels (all according to Wikipedia). It makes for m...

My sister had a kidney transplant (in 1996). She had a creatinine ratio of +/- 900 just before the transplation operation (so quite close to dialysis). After she recovered from the operation she reported: - Warm feet and hands (were always cold) - Brighter colors in her vision - Sharper vision (for ...

I read a web page that mentioned spastic veins. Therefor I googled for spastic bloodvessels and spastic veins. And guess what?! I stumbled into several pages that mentioned spastic blood vessels/veins. The contributors meant that if a needle was inserted into a vein that the blood vessel contracted/...

This topic is extremely interesting. At one side the puzzle pieces are falling together, at the other side, while completing the puzzle there seem to be more puzzle pieces than previously we thought there were present. I remember the cases of persons which showed no CCSVI at the first scans but they...

Hi Andrew, I notice that you every time mention an inclination of 6 inches for obtaining a 5 degree elevation. Probably this gives to certain parts in world a wrong idea. Here in the Neterlands and probably also in Scandinavian countries the standard bed length is 200 cm. So, for obtaining a elevati...
