Introduction
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease characterized by loss of myelin (demyelination) and damage to nerve fibers (neurodegeneration) in the central nervous system (CNS). MS is associated with a diverse range of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms, and can significantly interfere with daily functioning and overall quality of life. MS directly impacts the CNS by causing demyelinating lesions, or plaques, in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve; by contributing to overall tissue loss (atrophy) in these areas; and by interrupting communication between key neural pathways that are needed to maintain regular sensory and motor function.

What is CCSVI?
CCSVI, or Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency, is a condition in which the jugular and azygous veins, which drain blood from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, are narrowed, malformed, missing or otherwise blocked. Dr. Paolo Zamboni of the University of Ferrara has conducted extensive multiple sclerosis research that indicates that CCSVI could be one of the causes of MS, and a link to finding an effective MS treatment.

Drug Free Multiple Sclerosis Treatments…The Future is Now
Drug Free Multiple Sclerosis Treatments…The Future is Now
Traditional Treatments for MS
The MS infrastructure is a research-pharmaceutical complex populated by neurologists and MS societies that is currently based on the unproven theory that MS is an autoimmune condition. This theory, taught in medical schools, has spawned a drug industry that is expected to grow to more than 20 billion dollars by 2017. So it’s not surprising that most MS neurologists are skeptical and even dismissive of all drug-free therapy and treatments. Neurologists who are and have been the traditional MS gatekeepers are focused on breakthroughs of new drugs, all of which are designed to alleviate MS symptoms, while none of them treat the underlying cause. [...]

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Stem Cell Treatment
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Stem Cell Treatment
Multiple Sclerosis/Neurological Diseases
For any patient, being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis is both stressful and terrifying. The lack of a cure leads to much of the fear and emotional distress. It’s important for doctors, as well as patients and family members accompanying their loved one to appointments, to consider the many treatment plans that slow the progression of the disease. It’s important for doctors, patients, and loved ones in a supportive role to consider newer, drug-free methods along with traditional medications and surgical treatments. Stem cell treatments are gaining steam and proving to be incredibly useful tools in the battle against neurological diseases, like multiple sclerosis, that have no known cure. [...]

Combined CCSVI & Stem Cell Treatment
The combined CCSVI venoplasty/stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis is performed by Dr. Rafael Moguel at the Clinics of the Heart in Cozumel, Mexico. It offers additional ways to obtain improvements, the first by enhancing blood flow to the brain through balloon venoplasty of the jugular and azygous veins, the second by increasing the chance for neuron recovery in the presence of new cells (stem cells). We can expect maximum benefits while performing both procedures at the same time. [...]
