Liberation Treatment for CCSVI

The Liberation Treatment is a potentially ground breaking treatment of Multiple Sclerosis discovered by Dr. Paolo Zamboni while attepting to cure his wife from her MS.

Dr. Zamboni's was unhappy with the results of his initial research into MS, and what many had considered to be the factors contributing to MS. Dr. Zamboni set out to discover what actually causes MS.

What he discovered would soon be regarded by many as the most important medical breakthrough of this decade. He discovered the Liberation Treatment.

The Liberation Treatment is a potentially ground breaking discovery for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a degenerative neurological disease in which the body's own immune system turns against itself, damaging the nerves of the brain and spinal cord. The exact cause is unknown. For instance, the disease is more prevalent in certain regions, namely Scandinavia, Scotland, northern Europe, Canada, and the U.S.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is referred to a disease which cause the degeneration of the Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord). Inflammation due to MS causes the Myelin – a dielectric material that forms a layer around the neuron’s axon and responsible for the proper functioning of the nervous system – to disappear. As a result, the electrical impulses that travel through the nervous system decelerate which affect the reflexes and movements of MS patients. As more nerves are affected with MS, patients experience difficulties with functions that are controlled by the nervous system such as walking, writing, memorizing, vision, and even speech (Talking).

The causes of MS is still unknown, however; researchers suspect that a foreign agent (Known as Virus) trigger the immune system in a way it recognizes Myelin as an intruder and attacks it. This process is called autoimmunity, and thus MS is believed as autoimmunity disease.

The causes of MS is still unknown, however; researchers suspect that a foreign agent (Known as Virus) trigger the immune system in a way it recognizes Myelin - a dielectric material that forms a layer around the neuron's axon and responsible for the proper functioning of the nervous system - as an intruder and attacks it.

This process is called autoimmunity, and thus MS is believed as autoimmunity disease. Although the some of the Myelin could be repaired, but some nerves become fully exposed with no Myelin protection (Demylinated nerves).

The disease is unpredictable: intense flare-ups might be followed by remissions.

Symptoms of MS have series of ranges: It could be one symptom or multiple symptoms, mild to severe in intensity, and short to long in its duration. It usually hits between the ages of 20 and 40, and is more common in women than in men.

Here are lists of symptoms that are common in within patients diagnosed by MS:

The first common symptom of Multiple Sclerosis is the Visual Disturbance patients' experience. Patient may experience a patch of blurred vision, red - to - orange or gray distortions, or monocular visual loss (one eye vision loss). The visual symptoms are due to the inflammation caused by MS and usually the vision symptoms are the first to be visible to the patient is due to the sensitive eye nerve system compared to other nervous systems.

The second common symptom could be the Limb weakness along with difficulties in coordination and balance.

The third symptom includes numbness, fatigue, muscle spasms, and pricking pain. Loss of sensation, speech impediment, tremors, or dizziness could also be present in the early stages of the MS.

Other symptoms my include depression, paranoia, sexual dysfunction, reduced bowel and bladder control.
According to research, fifty-percent of people experience decreased concentration, attention deficits, memory loss, judgment impairment, and the inability to multitask.

Physicians and neurologists require detailed and complete examinations of the following to confirm MS presence:

1 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (known as MRI) helps to identify, describe, and date lesions in the brain through intravenous gadolinium.

2 - An Electro-physiological test that examines the impulses' peed and intensity travelling through the nervous system.

3 - Test to examine the Cerebro-spinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord which helps in detecting any abnormal chemicals (antibodies) or cells that confirm the presence of Multiple Sclerosis.

All of these tests help the neurologists to confirm that a patient is infected by Multiple Sclerosis.

Many treatments done by physicians focused on curing the nerve slow response problem rather than curing the causes of MS because it was unknown.

However, Dr. Paolo Zamboni has postulated that MS stems from a narrowing or blockage in the veins that drain blood from the brain, known medically as CCSVI, or chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency.

Zamboni thinks this impaired flow of blood from the brain builds up pressure, and that the resulting collection of blood may cause MS symptoms.

Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a condition found in twice the number people with multiple sclerosis than in the average population, where blood doesn't properly drain from the brain because of a narrowing in the veins that bring deoxygenated blood from the brain to the heart. The main veins are the jugular veins and the azygous. Due to this partial blockage, deoxygenated blood either stays too long in the brain or can reflux back into the brain causing various adverse effects, including:

1) A lack of oxygen (hypoxia) in the brain;
2) Inflammation caused by plasma and blood, which can also set off an autoimmune reaction; and
3) Iron from blood deposited on brain tissue can damage Myelin, and over time results in nerve damage (think of rust built up on a motor).

CCSVI was first found combining extracranial and transcranial doppler sonography. Five parameters of venous drainage have been proposed to be characteristic of the syndrome, although having two of them is enough for diagnosis of CCSVI:

Reflux in the internal jugular and vertebral veins,
Reflux in the deep cerebral veins,
High-resolution B-mode evidence of stenosis of the internal jugular,
Flow in the internal jugular or vertebral veins that could not be detected with Doppler, and
Reverted postural control of the main cerebral venous outflow pathways.

Use of Magnetic resonance Venography for the diagnosis of CCSVI in MS patients has limited value, and has been proposed to be used only in combination with other techniques.

A CCSVI Liberation Procedure is a minimally invasive procedure. You can expect to remain in hospital for 5 days after surgery for monitoring and follow-up care. A further 3 day at a local hotel after hospital discharge is also necessary before you are permitted to fly.

Recovery is relatively simple and rapid. Bruising is normal. You will receive wound care instructions and may be prescribed medication.

The CCSVI Liberation Procedure for MS patients is a recent advance in medical technology. As with all surgical procedures, it is strongly recommended you consult with your physician and/or specialist so you are fully informed as to whether this procedure is appropriate for your medical condition and of all possible complications.

The Liberation treatment is not available in the US and Canada yet although more than 700,000 patients suffer from MS and cannot move on normally with their lives. Even if the procedure will become available, however; I am pretty sure it will be expensive and not anyone could afford it. Many patients decided to take their procedure abroad in countries such as India, Poland, or Italy through Medical Tourism Companies. The results are amazing and below is a video of a patient who went to India. What an amazing trip, he enjoyed a touristic country and got cured !!!!

Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is described as a chronic problem where blood takes longer to return to the heart from the brain and spine and it can reflux back into the brain and spine and cause leakage of red blood cells and fluids into the tissues of the brain and spine. Blood that remains in the brain too long create a deposition of iron which in turn damages the brain tissue.

It all started with the Dr. Paolo Zamboni's search to understand the root cause of Multiple Sclerosis. After studying all of the MS patients, 90 % of the MS patients suffering from the same condition, he found that that almost all of them had a narrow, twisted or blockage of the veins that are supposed to flush blood from the brain. In addition to this, he found high level of iron deposition in the brain leads to obstructed blood flow. Recent discovery by Dr Zamboni suggested to open such blocks and allow free flow of blood through veins to brain, which then termed this treatment as Liberation treatment.

Liberation treatment is the most popular discovery for the treatment of Multiple sclerosis (MS).Multiple sclerosis is a disease of central nervous system, which occurs mainly between the ages of twenty to forty and in higher numbers of women than men. In MS, myelin sheath that protects the body's nerves erodes and nerves get s damaged. Scar tissue is seen where demyelination occurs in the brain and spinal cord which is caused by an autoimmune process, in which the body's own immune system attacks its own healthy tissue.
In the immune system, there are two types of white blood cells, B-cells and T-cells. The principal functions of B cells are to make antibodies against antigens and destroy the antigen. B-cells plays vital role in humoral immune response whereas T-cells differs from B-cells by the presence of a special receptor on their cell surface called cell receptors (TCR) and plays an important role in Cell mediated immune response. T-cells exist in three forms, all responsible for different immune system responses. Helper T-cells stimulate production of antibodies against foreign antigens, produces cytokines which activate other T-cells. These T-cells are able to recognize foreign antigens through their receptors and destroy the antigen.

Strikingly in MS, helper T-cells are activated by unknown mechanism whose specific receptors recognize central nervous system myelin as an antigen and activates other T-cells by releasing cytokines and adhesion molecules which will adhere to the blood -brain barrier and obstruct the blood flow in the brain and spine.

CCSVI is an invasive procedure and simple surgical technique where the use of balloon angioplasty helps to clear the blockage of the veins. This has been termed as ''LIBERATION PROCEDURE''. MS patients around the world are using "the liberation procedure" to widen veins.

Once diagnosed as an ideal candidate for Liberation Treatment, the Multiple Sclerosis Liberation procedure is both convenient and financially feasible in India with Global Medical Excellence (GME). Savings typically range from 40-90% over the cost in the US. The majority of hospitals we represent are JCI accredited offering a level of care equal to or exceeding that found stateside.
