When it comes to CCSVI, I have a healthy passion.  Does it work for everyone, every time?  No.  Every person is different.

The Medical establishment seems aimed at preventing investigations of the new procedure that is comparatively low risk to some of the drugs that are prescribed daily.  These drugs can be efficitve for some, passive for others and killers for the most traumatic few.

Tysabri came out with great promise.  Then the brain infections occured.  Pulled back and reset with new procedures, it became a great hope for some.  The idea of a monthly IV that could stop the progress from Multiple Sclerosis sounded wonderful.  And all the new protocols will prevent issues that came up before.  Just a couple of routine blood tests will keep everyone safe. No more brain infections.  Not a cure, but a great treatment. 

Really?

I feel like i am in a Southern Baptist Church. I want to stand up and scream at the preacher "Tell the Devil to go back to the crossroads. I have found a new way to heaven."

All the drugs being prescribed do have a moment of we are just guessing.  I accept that research and development takes time.  I would love a pill based cure.  CURE, NOT TREATMENT, CURE!

CCSVi offers a new method to treat Multiple Sclerosis.  The outcomes are as unique as MS itself.   The procedure is not a cure, but it does offer a chance at improvement.  Do doctors not work for improved quality of lives for their patients.

Did Heart doctors push aside angioplasty when it was introduced?  Did the cardios of the time shoot for a pill based solution in combination with better exercise and diet?   Just take "beat-um-trix" and you should be fine.

My grandfather had heart bypass surgery.  It made him healthier.  He did lose weight.  Upon his death in a car accident, he was feeling great at 78.  Cardiovascular surgeon did the work.  Did his cardio feel left out?  I like to think he did not care.  The surgery gave him an opportunity for a better life.   He took pills.  Big deal.  He could walk up and down the stair of his home.  Do we all not want and lust for a higher quality of life? 

Over 2000 MS patients have had the CCSVI procedure. Have any neuros who do not have MS come out for CCSVI?  The doctors who have, or their families have, MS and they too reach for something better.
Just wondering because it is amazing how many solutions you will find when you are falling off a cliff.  Personally, I will have good days and bad.  Big deal.  I have days with thought and personal enrichment to the limits of my body and soul. 

But I pushed for and got the choice. And I was blessed enough to get it.

The hospital office politics of who gets what patient is absurd.  So the patient has a sinus issue, better solved by an ear nose and throat specialist.  Does the patient's orthopedist care?  No.  And why should that doctor have any objection to a different avenue for patient improvement?  CCSVI offers a potential for improvement that nothing else concocts.

Doctors, drop your lab jackets, smocks and gowns and join us in a new way towards health.   If a new way presents itself, let us see what happens.  Rather than limit our way to a better life, be the guide to happiness.
