CCSVI - The Cure for Multiple Sclerosis?

By Olga Wright


After a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis for you or a loved one there can often be a feeling of being overwhelmed with information regarding the disease and you can be left with a sense of confusion. The following is a brief description of the disease and some related information that could be of service to a sufferer or their family and friends. For more detailed information please contact your medical professional, physician, counselor or local support group.

The myelin sheath is the part of the body that provides the insulation or covering for the nerves which then leads to the proper conduction of impulses along the nerves. When a person is suffering from multiple sclerosis, there is degeneration of the nerves in the central nervous system, particularly the brain and the spinal cord. This causes the myelin to disappear, leaving the nerves unprotected. The impulses then become slower and the nerves become damaged which affects how the person functions.

CCSVI Protocols In the Liberation protocol, two diagnostic procedures - a Doppler ultrasound of the neck and brain to detect the presence of blood reflux, followed by a venogram (with dye injection) to assess blood flow and possible stenosis - evaluates the need for treatment of CCSVI. The Angeles Health Mexico medical team, Dr. Morales and Dr. Luna, follow the Liberation protocol in combination with drawing on their experience with vascular procedures to treat MS patients with CCSVI.

* hypoesthesia (changes in sensation) * muscle weakness * abnormal muscle spasms causing difficulty with coordination, balance and movement * dysarthria (problems with speech) * dysphagia (problems with swallowing) * visual problems * fatigue * acute or chronic pain syndromes * bladder and bowel difficulties * cognitive impairment or depression.

MS has no cure yet, but there are ways on how you can manage the different multiple sclerosis symptoms. Your doctor can give you medications to control the inflammation such that further damages on the nerves are controlled. While taking the medications, there are other treatment methods that you will need. You will also be given medications for muscle relaxation, for reduction of fatigue, for pain relief and to control any bladder or bowel problems that you may have. You will go through physical therapy so that you will still be able to perform your activities of daily living despite the signs and symptoms that you are manifesting.

While undergoing treatment for the various multiple sclerosis symptoms, you will also need to adapt lifestyle changes to help you manage the disease. You should have plenty of rest so that you can reduce fatigue which is a common symptom of MS. You should also have enough exercise to help you improve your muscle tone, strength, balance and coordination. A balanced diet is necessary so that you can help in keeping your immune system strong. Lastly, you need to relieve yourself from stress which can worsen the signs and symptoms of MS.

Of course the decision to have the balloon angioplasty or the angioplasty with stent protocol for the CCSVI liberation procedure is up to you the patient and your treating physician.
