This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Torcan, You are going t the Apollo facility in Chennai? It has a great reputation (although not necessarily for CCSVI - I think only Simka has that!). What does Surgical Tourism Canada charge you? I assume it is a complete package. I've pretty well given up on any other solution than India. www.sur...

Chris1967 Your post has been read and also noted, so please stop typing these messages. I understand your point and I also feel the same as you do about this as to where is Zambioni? But his work is captivating and this could very well change my life and I will find out in March when I go to India a...

Hello Brynn. I have read your update and it sounds so amazing. I have symptoms that are very much the same as yourself and I am set to go to India for the treatment to be done on myself. The date will be March 26th when this will begin. It is painfull for me to share my story with non MS'ers as they...

Hello You have a pile of questions here. The fact that I am facing here is that my MS is progressing way to fast for me and at 36 years of age, it just tears me up knowing that their was nothing to help me since the diagnosis in 1999 on Valentine's day of all day as well. So yesterday was my 11 year...

I went to False Creek as well and had the ultrasound with MRV also. The ultrasound didn't show anything at all because the technician their wasn't understanding the way that this test should be run. The MRV shows what I wanted to see, and for that I have been chosen to go to Chennai India this March...

Thank you very much for this Brynn. My symptoms are very close to yours, and it was great to read your post. I look forward to reading more as I am going to India for the treatment this March. Encouraging news makes anybody feel better about what is going on.

Thanks

Hello Mangio.

Can I ask you where you read this please?

go man if the money doesnt hurt and you think you can show how its done, make it so. Really I've noticed a shift towards training the local guy rather than flying far to get this done, but if they can do it another place to just go is great. Thanks Billmeik. I am glad that you understnd this :D

I nees to thank all of you for your valued opinion's. At this point, I feel as though have brainstormed all of this and have looked at all the possibilities. At the Apollo hospital in India, they will know exactly what they are going to be doing and the lady who is putting this trip together has men...

There are six patients slated to take part in the first trip the third week of March, with three to be treated in Chennai and the others in Bangalore. :) Details!! http://www.lacombeglobe.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2276689 I am going to be taking part in this trip to Chennai India at the end of Marc...

I am in India too, in Chennai. In case you dont know, it seems that the an agency in Canada is offering trips to Indian for Canadian citizens for liberation treatment. I believe that work will be done in Apollo in Chennai. If you can share more history/info on the type of scans you have done, the d...

Torcan It might be cheaper for you to look into having the treatment in Poland. Plus you have peace of mnd that the dr's there have treated dozens of patients and are experienced Their is a company called surgicaltours.ca and this place is co-ordinating this treatment. I got a copy of the resumes o...

Cost for going to India? Did they give you a break down? Cheers Brian The cost is just under $20,000. It includes the flight their, hotel, food and insurance. The cost for an angioplasty at the Cleveland clinic in Ohio is a little bit less then this, but they have yet to do this in the states. Thei...

The company that makes the transcranial doppler is Esaote. We are going to look into this doppler. Our MRV protocol is an adaption for 3T from Dr Haacke Hopefully it is the transcranial doppler that will make the difference, if you are able to acquire one. Edited to say: I still see the results fro...
