CCSVI

Anybody had this procedure done for Lyme symptoms??  If so, what are your thoughts?

Hi Treehousemom,
I looked this up on this site:www.ccsvi.org/index.php/the-basics/what-is-ccsvi and it sure seems like an extreme approach to what could easily be a temporary situation. With treatment so many things that we experience are cleared up, I would be very cautious about having procedures done - especially when they carry such consequences as this does.

Of course I also don't know the exact situation that your daughter (I hope I got that right!!) is in, and I'm not medically trained. I was just speaking from experience about how things can change once a person has undergone a certain amount of healing.

I do hope that you can find more information so that you can make the decision that best suits you and your situation.

Thanks guys--I am not going to do anything without tons of research first. It has just come up as an option that we are investigating. I hear there are pros and cons. At this point, she has not had any scans done to even determine if it is an issue. And if it is, I would prefer to do something less invasive. Some people have had good results with it though. . .

Thanks again so much for comments and thoughts!

I am wondering if there are other ways to treat this?? Other than angioplasty? If you do not clear up whatever is causing the blockages, ie Lyme, bacteria, etc., you can just re-stenose. So, I do think in some cases, angioplasty may be necessary, but I am curious if the Lyme and co-infections are resolved, does the CCSVI go away on its own? Or with a less invasive method?

Still mulling this over. . .

Did ccsvi procedure twice when i thought i had ms.

Basically the interventional radiologist ballooned my valves at the base of my internal jugular veins to tear them so they would nott impede blood flow from my brain.

Eventually, a stent was placed to keep the vein open.

I also had a stent placed in my iliac vein to treat may-thurners.

I underwent venous angioplasty 6 times! NO BENEFIT LONGTERM!

Then i discovered i had chronic lyme! Now in month 6 abx and cd57 starting to creep up from 16 to about 30.

I agree with those above thatif u have a positive lyme dx do the abx!

I now will take coumadin lifelong to prevent blood clots from my stent implants.

Lyme causes vasculitis.

I'm wondering how much parasite treatment your
Daughter has had?

I am reading this on Betterhealthguy.com what Klinghardt
Is calling ..a deeper look into Lyme.


The parasites seem to be major issue and before abx.
Also trying to overload people with abx without
Getting biofilms out of way seems to be
where it is constantly falling apart in abx treatment.


Fry labs is using ivermectin to treat some parasite.

I think the research and years of TRIAL treatments is taking
us all in new direction with all the coinfections.


Parasites biofilms thick blood ..molds fungi and THEN
Bacterial and viral.

I really believe all of these things are issues
Plus the heavy metals because of thick blood biofilms
Have got to be reduced and awareness of the effects of
molds and too much electro magnetic field.

That website had a lot of interesting info

Treehouse

Did you read about strongylides?

That's what they found in my stool test.
And hook worm and diatomebia fragialis.

Metagenix parasite stool test is expensive but
The best. Ask your doctor for it. Naturopaths have the
Kits.

I felt the best after parasite treatment but now I
Think they are back.
