how can i explain these abrupt changes.? we can all guess cant we. perhaps myelin transmission needs certain amount of blood flow, oxygen pressure reduction, cleansing for improved function. Your guess is as good as mine at this point. Like i keep saying we are just beginning an age of discovery. so much to learn, it will take the rest of my useful career, and i am thankful for that.
clearly such improvements in the moment, sometimes even before the procedure is completed will lead to doubts, especially by those who don't want to have been this wrong.
My money is on the improved tension and reduction in pressure in the venous return stimulating the cerebrospinal fluid flow. I.B.T addresses this using posture alone to change the pressure and increase the tension on the blood inside the veins, the evidence being the dramatic improvements in chronic venous insufficiency, oedema and varicose veins. Before and after Photographs available for evidence.
IBT has been shown right here in this forum to stimulate significant recovery in RR, PP and SP ms. Yet it is continually ignored? These results are very real and need to
To be taken into account.
IBT should be the very first intervention for all people with ms. And it is not just about how blood circulates, it addresses all circulation including blood flow, the cerebrospinal fluid circulation, lymph circulation and the circulation in the skin.
This simple postural therapy has also worked with spinal cord injury and Parkinsons's disease, neither of which are identified as associated with CCSVI.
Yet habitual unscientific adherence to flat bed rest which has been shown to be harmful in the literature time and time again that even in just a few hours of flat bed rest the body begins to shut down and the longer we remain flat the more damage to our body we do and this has been known and reported by doctors over the decades, while hospitals continue to use a horizontal model for recovery?
Insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get different results. This also applies to the insanity of sleeping flat and expecting to wake up to health improvements.
Sleeping flat for 24 hours has been shown to cause considerable problems for circulation. Maybe the cumulative effect of retiring to a flat bed each night is sufficient to cause neurological degeneration in people who are more susceptible to it's harmful effects?
Long before vascular stent and balloon surgery became an option, people with ms were finding remarkable improvements using Inclined Bed Therapy.
When I try to speak about it here, people but in and say on behalf of everyone reading this thread that we don’t want to hear it. Well I am not going to be silenced as long as there are people who need to learn about this safe and effective alternative to surgery.
In the unlikely event that IBT does not begin to work over 4 months then and only then should anyone consider a surgical approach and let’s face it there are many people on waiting lists who could at least put postural therapy to the test.

Dr Claude Francheschi advocates postural therapy as an answer to CCSVI and he now advises ms patients to sleep on an inclined bed.

Abstract: A better understanding of the pathophysiology of hemodynamic venous system is necessary not only for diagnosis but also to improving the treatment of venous insufficiency. The clinical and laboratory manifestations of venous insufficiency is the consequence of a hemodynamic disorder. This disorder can be defined as the inability of the system to ensure a unidirectional flow cardiopète venous flow and pressure responsive tissue drainage, temperature control and filling of the heart regardless of the conditions of posture and muscle activity. Given that symptoms are reduced and become worse clinostatism orthostasis, it is obvious that the conditions of posture and therefore the hydrostatic pressure determines the onset of symptoms such as regression of the disease. All this according to the laws of gravity that the hydrostatic pressure is almost zero and maximum clinostatism orthostasis. The venous pressure at the ankle also varies in supine and standing motionless in healthy subjects as venous insufficiency in the subject. But walking, it decreases much less in venous insufficiency than in healthy subjects. This shows that there is a way of controlling the hydrostatic pressure at idle but active rest while walking and lower efficacy in venous insufficiency than in healthy subjects. This phenomenon may be related to the action of the pump-valvulo muscle would split the column of hydrostatic pressure in the lower limb muscle activity. The most common hemodynamic disturbance responsible for venous insufficiency, is thus the result of a lack of what we call the dynamic fractionation column of hydrostatic pressure (FDPH).
