    Take some time to read this carefully, and share it with all those people who are especially important to you(family/friends/co-workers). You know the old saying:

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

You get the idea.

MS cure?

Clinical trials coming soon…CCVI/ MS

If you, or people you know, are suffering from chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency(CCVI), or Multiple Sclerosis (MS), then you will be very interested to hear the latest news!

Italian Doctor Paolo Zamboni is conducting surgery on patients using the “Liberation Technique”.

   To understand this better, study the accompanying diagram for a minute. [image credit:Gray's Anatomy]
   Here you will see a cross-section of the arteries in the human neck, explaining possible causes for MS.

   Several Canadian patients have undergone this operation, by Dr. Zambomi, with startling results. Patients with MS now have new hope, and are demanding access to this revolutionary procedure, even though it has not been clinically tested. The good news is that clinical trials will  be starting soon! For more information, on this important medical procedure, click on the link below:
