6. A Breakthough in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
By Susan Ellis
A Canadian T.V. show has recently aired a story on the work of an Italian physician trying to find a cure for his wife who has M.S. He has made the discovery that all M.S patients he has tested show the narrowing of veins in chest or neck. This is disrupting blood flow to the brain. He calls it Chronic Cerebro-spinal Venous Insufficiency. When blood flow is normalized with the Liberation Treatment, the functioning of patients with M.S. improves.
Here is a link to the TV show.
My first reaction was a selfish one. Why couldn't this have happened 20 years ago? My partner had primary progressive MS for ten years. She died in 1999. What if….
The MS community is all abuzz with this latest news. I'm sure if I had MS I would be at my doctor's office demanding that my veins be looked at. If this really is the smoking gun, then routine testing of blood flow could become a normal procedure in countries like Canada with a high rate of M.S.
Meanwhile we have many thousands of young to middle aged people irreparably damaged by the disease with just as many caregivers trying to provide quality of life. For some perhaps the clock could be turned back, for many too much damage has already been done.
While there now seems to be a ray of hope for the future, let us not forget those for whom this news has come too late. If you are feeling some bitterness at this time, don't deny it. Process it, live with it and then come through it. Share in someone else's joy and in so doing, compassion will come back to support you.
Do look at my last post or click here. I am offering copies of the 4 videos my partner and I made during those ten yours of disability, for free.
