zinc deficiency is linked to iron dysregulation and deposition. ms patients are lower in zinc than controls. average zinc levels in healthy controls, in several different studies, comes out to 18.2 umol/L. optimizing your zinc levels can have several other benefits including: - elevating uric acid ...

Cece, you're right, I read/heard/watched a lot about this but absolutely no one gave a real reason on why we shouldn't do it, anyway they're saying no to doing operation abroad, saying I'm rushing into it


Thanks a lot for you're answers

Although he started just a few weeks ago, he has already performed about 60 ballooning procedures. His patients mainly come from germany and the netherlands. He's not using stents. But he's quite overrun, too... some people get calls from him at 6 am or 8 pm as this is the only time he's got the ti...

Yes agreed without a doubt. But I was taking the waitinglist into consideration. These are alternatives in europe. that's right, thanks, I'm looking for the the alternatives too. So you don't know/heard anything more about dr. Vogl? belsadie , I got a form from Dr Sclafani but then i heard about IR...

yes Poland is really famous in CCSVI and I want to go there but I don't think they accept new patients, they're too busy. didn't answer my email. There is also dr. Vogl in Frankfurt, germany. He does scanning and treatment. I think cost of scanning are € 1200 and cost of treatment around € 5000. do ...

any suggestions on a country to travel to, for CCSVI tests and perhaps for The Liberation Treatment. preferably in Europe. somewhere that I don't have to wait really long, e.g. Poland has a waiting list till mid 2011. and somewhere where doctors are experienced in CCSVI. or do you think that I shoul...

hi, Again, I went to a doctor (an old friend) and said I want to check my jugular veins (IJV) in my neck and my SVC, and I did briefly told him about IJV narrowing in MS patients. So he gave me a piece of paper (MRI center won't do it without a doctor note): "MRV on my neck and SVC" appare...

MRA (MR angiography) shows only arteries, but not veins. and only in your skull but not in your neck. (in Europe at least) What you need is an MRV (MR venography) in your skull and in your neck And its not enough. It must be looked for the flow in your veins (called flow quantification) please give...

So I guess have to somehow tell them to focus on the neck, not to miss them or persuade a doctor or a radiologists or anyone (who can do it) for an MRI specifically on my neck, because I'm beginning to think maybe "Brain MR angiography" isn't quite right for my CCSVI and might not show it ...

why missed? they would be looking for a blockage, that shouldn't be so hard,... I don't know, I'm afraid relating it to MS be bad, make situation complicated and not quite welcome, ... I'm confused

thanks for your answers

I've asked an other doctor as a anonymous person who's only curious, they said "Brain MRI angiography" will cover the whole veins from heart to brain so I assumed it includes neck too (is that right?). I will tell them more about CCSVI and show them all PDFs, Videos but after the result, I...

hi, (please read both paragraphs and tell me what you think) I went to my doctor (apparently he hasn't heard of CCSVI) and (long story short) said I think there's something wrong and want to be sure about everything in my body especially the veins leading to my brain and being a nervous and shaky pe...
