CCSVI
If you have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), you may have Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI).
What is CCSVI?
Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) and its treatment were pioneered by researcher, former vascular surgeon and professor Dr. Paulo Zamboni at the University of Ferrara in Italy. CCSVI is a chronic condition in which blood from the brain has difficulty returning to the heart. It is caused by a narrowing or “stenosis” in neck, chest, and spinal veins that drain the central nervous system. In some cases, there is a development of alternate veins in an attempt to facilitate additional drainage. The research suggests that because these compensatory blood vessels do not have the same wall integrity as larger veins, they leak cellular waste into the adjacent tissue, resulting in an accumulation of toxins and deposition of iron. This has significant application to Multiple Sclerosis and suggests that the vascular aspect may be as significant as the neurological component in the disease process.
How does Sanoviv test for CCSVI?
Using specialized diagnostic equipment, a Doppler Ultrasound scan of the jugular veins is taken in a supine and then upright position. If there is significant blood turbulence in the vein indicating a blockage, the patient may have an angiogram of the jugular and azygos veins. This will identify the exact location of the blockage and determine the level of stenosis. If the stenosis is significant enough to warrant it, balloon angioplasty will be performed.

What is Sanoviv’s CCSVI treatment?
The procedure requires passing a small catheter through the femoral vein to the area of venous narrowing. If a significant blockage is confirmed and located during the angiogram, a routine balloon angioplasty (venoplasty) is used to open the narrowed veins. The recovery process from this treatment may be rapid, with many people recognizing positive results immediately following the procedure. A stent may be inserted if medically indicated and then only with the guest’s explicit permission.
The initial stay for diagnostics and treatment at Sanoviv will be for nine nights and includes a post-surgical Doppler scan, along with the full residential CCSVI program. Follow up assessments at Sanoviv two months and six months after the procedure are incorporated into the initial cost. If a guest is found not to be a candidate for the venoplasty following diagnostic assessments, their deposit for the remaining procedures will be refunded or may be applied to any program at Sanoviv for themselves or others.
What makes Sanoviv’s approach to CCSVI unique?
With more than a decade of experience serving guests with Multiple Sclerosis, Sanoviv recognizes CCSVI as a potentially significant contributor to the MS disease process and the treatment to be a viable benefit to improving the lifestyle of people diagnosed with this debilitating condition. As a holistic medical center, Sanoviv encourages guests with MS to also consider the other contributors to the disease process, many of which Sanoviv is uniquely able to address such as proper digestion and absorption of nutrients, structural integrity, genetic background, dental involvement, and lifetime exposure to toxins. The special needs of guests living with Multiple Sclerosis are considered in order to support optimal healing with a team approach of all departments working together on each guest’s needs. Our program includes daily meetings with your doctor, gluten-free meals, a nutritional assessment, CCSVI-related consultations with a psychologist and more – all within our oceanfront, toxin-free, integrative medical institute. Sanoviv offers each guest a clinical program that is also a health retreat focusing on the body, mind, and spirit.

The Body is supported with world class diagnostics and treatments that are complimented by optimal nutrition for each person featuring low glycemic, all organic foods prepared in delicious and beautiful meals that are free of primary food allergens. The fitness center is adjacent to numerous thalasso pools exclusively for our guests. Additional relaxation options are offered through Sanoviv’s five star spa that reduces anxiety and helps soothe muscle tension, spasticity or pain.
The Mind is stimulated with opportunities to learn more about your wellness in the Education Centre’s seminars. Meditation is offered daily with numerous guided styles and Energy Medicine techniques to manage stress and help maintain a balanced nervous system.
The Spirit is supported in the beauty of the pristine oceanfront setting, which makes it easy to forget that you are in a fully functioning medical institute, and a psycho-spiritual department with trained psychologists that honor all faiths, practices and lifestyles. In the residential Sanoviv community, our guests often create strong bonds and comfort each other in an environment of mutual concern and support.
The CCSVI treatment is only part of the way Sanoviv cares for people living with MS. Our team of doctors strongly recommends the program Neuro Repair as an option to be completed at the same time as the CCSVI diagnosis and treatment. The Neuro Repair program will help you heal from the catheterization through oxygenation procedures that include ozone and hyperbaric sessions as well as a variety of assays, examinations, and recommended treatments (including dental) that are specifically tailored to your personal needs.

Dr. Avneesh Gupte, the Neurosurgeon at Noble Hospital performing the procedure has been encouraged by results in Cerebral Palsy patients as well. “We are fortunate to be able to offer the treatment because not every hospital is able to perform these types of transplants. You must have the specialized medical equipment and specially trained doctors and nurses”. With regard to MS patients, “We are cautious, but nevertheless excited by what patients are telling us. Suffice to say that the few patients who have had the therapy through us are noticing recovery of neuro deficits beyond what the venous angioplasty only should account for”.
ReplyDeleteDr. Unmesh of Noble continues: “These are early days and certainly all evidence that the combination of liberation and stem cell therapies working together at this point is anecdotal. However I am not aware of other medical facilities in the world that offer the synthesis of both to MS patients on an approved basis and it is indeed a rare opportunity for MS patients to take advantage of a treatment that is quite possibly unique in the world”.
Autologous stem cell transplantation is a procedure by which blood-forming stem cells are removed, and later injected back into the patient. All stem cells are taken from the patient themselves and cultured for later injection. In the case of a bone marrow transplant, the HSC are typically removed from the Pelvis through a large needle that can reach into the bone. The technique is referred to as a bone marrow harvest and is performed under a general anesthesia. The incidence of patients experiencing rejection is rare due to the donor and recipient being the same individual.This remains the only approved method of the SCT therapy.For more information visit http://ccsviclinic.ca/?p=838.
While US courts conduct legal battles over the ethics of stem cell research and Big Pharma shuts down clinical trials citing ‘tighter budgets’, North Americans wait for solid proof of stem cell efficacy for many disease conditions. Health organizations such as the National Cancer Institute issue continual warnings about lack of proof for stem cell therapy. National media shows like CBSs’ 60 Minutes, paid for by their advertisers that include Big Pharma, perform razor-sharp hatchet jobs on those quack clinics doing fake stem cell therapy, but in the process paint every other clinic everywhere doing stem cell research and therapy with the same brush.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, medical institutions in other countries plough along with research from trials that not only provide good evidence on the safety of stem cells, but also their efficacy for many disease conditions with autoimmune causes. For example, the current accepted treatment strategies for MS are only known to decrease inflammation but have no effect on repairing material damage to the CNS, effectively reversing the disease.For more details visit http://ccsviclinic.ca/?p=882
