New MS Procedure May Cure Disease in Days?

Wednesday, December 02, 2009 – by Staff Report

Dr. Paolo Zamboni

Dr. Paolo Zamboni (pictured left), a former vascular surgeon and professor at the University of Ferrara in northern Italy, began asking questions about the debilitating condition a decade ago, when his wife Elena, now 51, was diagnosed with MS. Watching his wife Elena struggle with the fatigue, muscle weakness and visual problems of MS led Zamboni to begin an intense personal search for the cause of her disease. He found that scientists who had studied the brains of MS patients had noticed higher levels of iron in their brain, not accounted for by age. The iron deposits had a unique pattern, often forming in the core of the brain, clustered around the veins that normally drain blood from the head. No one had ever fully explained this phenomenon, considering the excess iron a toxic byproduct of the MS itself. Dr. Zamboni wondered if the iron came from blood improperly collecting in the brain. Using Doppler ultrasound, he began examining the necks of MS patients and made an extraordinary finding. Almost 100 per cent of the patients had a narrowing, twisting or outright blockage of the veins that are supposed to flush blood from the brain. He then checked these veins in healthy people, and found none of these malformations. Nor did he find these blockages in those with other neurological conditions. "In my mind, this was unbelievable evidence that further study was necessary to understand the link between venous function and iron deposits on the other," Zamboni told W5 from his research lab in Ferrara. Zamboni dubbed the vein disorder he discovered CCSVI, or Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency, and began publishing his preliminary research in neurology journals. – CTV

Dominant Social Theme: How is this possible? Another nutcase?

Free-Market Analysis: There are plenty of cures out there for cancer – though whether any of them work is yet a debatable point. This is not because they are hoaxes, only because their inventors have, perhaps, been denied a proper forum for ongoing discussion and for the convincing their scientific peers.

Why? Because, as we pointed out yesterday, in our article about the stifling effects of Big Science on physics, there is so much money and control in the scientific arena these days that even the most promising treatments can get sidetracked by lack of funding and purposeful (in our view) inattentiveness. Here's how the established MS Societies view the above treatment (which sure sounds promising to us), according to the article:

The MS Societies of Canada and the U.S. are reticent to support Zamboni's theories. They maintain that: "Based on results published about these findings to date, there is not enough evidence to say that obstruction of veins causes MS. It is still not clear whether relieving venous obstructions would be beneficial."

It is too often the same weary story. Establishment scientific institutions and their planetary satellites – non-profits, etc. – huddle together to keep out anything that remotely challenges business as usual. Have you read about this potential MS cure in manifold versions in the mainstream press? You would think that journalists would leap at the opportunity to cover this astonishing research. Maybe there is nothing to this, but mainstream media silence, as usual, seems deafening. (Google "Zamboni MS" and there doesn't seem to be much mainstream exposure, or not yet anyway.)

Conclusion: We have proposed that Climategate is merely a tiny sample of the kind of rigorous control that "gatekeepers" exercise over noncomforming scientific thought. When outright bans don't work, too often the scientist may find himself or herself under criminal investigation. The monetary elite creates dominant social themes in science as elsewhere for purposes of control and wealth-gathering. We hope in this case, that Dr. Zamboni proves out his theories and is able to come in from the cold.

My fiance is 24 years old and was diagnosed with MS at 19. She has recently resorted to using a wheelchair. She has become very depressed about this but Dr. Zamboni's information has brought a smile to her face. All of her doctors have been perscribing medications that don't help anything and in fact usually make it worse. We would really like to have information about getting this procedure done. Who to talk to , where to go, cost is not the problem as I will sell everything I own just to take the chance of her getting her life back. Please if anyone can help we would greatly appreciate it.

Just Google Zamboni and you will find all the relevant information. It is not for everyone, apparently. Good luck.

I would like to know if there is a doctor in RI that has performed this treatment? If so, is this covered by medical insurance? I would like to be screened for this treatment and could my neurologist perform this procedure? How soon could this be done?

You probably have to contact the doctor in Italy.

We already know how to prevent 98 per cent of all degenerative diseases. It is by: managing stress levels; a good diet of fruits vegetables and protein; and an active lifestyle with lots of exercise. No money in it and no drama.

The healthy lifestyle leads to a healthy body that has great blood flow that carries oxygen and essential nutrients to all parts of the body. (including the brain) Great blood flow means no blockages, no diseases.

So, the blockages in the neck may not convince a scientist that it has anything to do with MS, but the simple overall health principle would suggest it would alleviate the symptoms.

I personally believe one of the underlying causes of MS is lack of Vitamin D that you get from natural sunlight or fish oil. Simple stats will show that the majority of MS sufferers are lacking in one or both of these.

Why would they not at least try this? I am sure many MS patients out here would give it a try. He maybe on to something that can help a loved one get past this terrible disease. Please

I would like to know if I can get it done and how much I have been through everything and I am willing to get this done..

My only hesitation with the Zamboni treatment is that he seems to be presenting this miracle treatment a little too anecdotally. A lot of the things he has said about MS and its causes weren't actually proven by anything he does (for example, he says that the blockages he is treating are present from birth, yet he didn't do any research on children or infants).

I agree fully that there are a lot of politics in science, and that there are way too many instances where treatments without pharmaceutical drugs are disregarded. I'm just not sure that we should be encouraging MS patients to spend large amounts of money trying to obtain this treatment quite yet.

Thank you so much for the article about Dr. Zamboni. A friend of mine who has suffers from MS in advanced stage found a japanese clinic in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he got treatment. His MS is stopped now and he is a renewed man, thanks to YOU. I read your articles daily and enjoy the great photos about CH. Your pictures promote our country more effectively than the mainstream media.
Keep up the good work!

I have a son in his early 40s, who was diagnosed with MS about 2 years ago. He has had some symptoms for longer. I would very much like to arrange for him to see Dr Zamboni in Italy, for an assessment. His sister lives in Bologna, and it would be easy to arrange to go to Italy, from our side. He is a careful person, and watches his exercise and diet, but the disease advances slowly, but steadily. Please let me know if this can be arranged.

To put this simply, there is no money in healthy people. There is money in sick people. I truly belief that companies that benefit from the sick would try to block finding true cures.

Hi Doctor ... I have MS and hope this works. What is the difference in Angioplasty and Dr. Zamboni's liberation treatment? If you have blockage in your veins and you need help. Please forgive any misspelled words.

There are numerous articles about Dr. Paolo Zamboni on the 'Net and some may offer you contact information. Don't know how far along the treatment is currently. Good luck.

You asked for feedback regarding articles regarding HIV/AIDS. One of the most consistent voices out there, with some of the most controversial, but well documented, perspectives, is Harvard-trained Dr. Len Horowitz, who wrote a compelling book about the correlation of medical patents, military biotech laboratory research, and congressional funding related to the origin of AIDS. One of his sites is Click to view link

Thanks, we are aware of the controversy, though not of Dr. Horowitz. Thanks for the link.

As for HIV and AIDS being merely symptoms that are caused by the drugs given to aid their treatment, I would point out that the symptoms existed in millions of Africans and in many Americans, as well as people worldwide BEFORE there were any anti-viral drugs in existence. Many people still do not receive these drugs but they still have the ravaging symptoms. Let's don the tinfoil hats!

Physicians were noticing the syndromes in areas such as San Francisco back in the early 1980s but had no diagnosis and no idea what they were dealing with.

As for Zamboni, I wonder how his wife is doing, whether he was able to treat her and arrest the process. I am no more enamored of the current profit-seeking allopathic medical system than the typical paranoid person, however I have been intimately involved in it for over 40 years as a RN.

We need to keep some perspective. The medical system did not cause HIV to come into existence, anymore than it caused polio, another virus, to kill people. Neither did the drug corporations. I am not against antiviral drugs used to prolong the lives of HIV carriers. What I object to is the endless prescriptions for unnecessary treatments. The elderly are especially targeted, they carry around grocery sacks full of pill bottles, most of them doing more harm than good. Now there is even a drug that is being used to make eyelashes longer and fuller. Now THAT'S Crazy!!

Your comments about non profits and health are too true. I wish all the very well intentioned people give their hard earned money to them would take a equally hard look at what happens to that money.

P.S. got cancer? GET CESIUM CHLORIDE!!!!!

Thanks for the response and cancer tip.

Dr. Revici found that AIDS was a condition with up to four levels of disease depending on the patient's progression. The treatment is based on treating each level as needed with his own nontoxic medications.

Warming of the earth though greenhouse effects is a possibility. Fossil fuels do stink, have you noticed? Carbon dioxide has made the oceans too acidic. Do we really need to pollute the air by burning things? Isn't that cave man technology?

Can we let the market decide, in aggregate, on appropriate fuels? Won't it anyway?

Dr. Emanuel Revici began treating AIDS patients with great success beginning in 1978, sometimes reversing the disease where the patient was previously wasted away and unable to walk.

These cases are discussed in my book. The Townsend Letter For Doctors also published results of Revici's early work with AIDS patients. (Feb/Mar 1987)

Unfortunately, the Journal of the American Medical Association had already poisoned the well with regards to Revici, much like we now see with the Clmategate Saga.

Revici could not get published despite the fact that his patient responses were far beyond anything achieved by others. Please remember that in 1978, the cure rate for AIDS was -0-.

In some cases, the patient improvement was so dramatic under Revici that the previously ill patient was unrecognizable by those who hadn't seen him in a couple months.

That's great!

So what is AIDS? We don't necessarily believe it is what it is said to be. ...

What did your research show ... if you don't mind providing us with a summary.

Include a link, if you wish, where people can purchase your book.

Cures vs. Treatments " As I have observed within my family, this is especially true with the elderly " they treat symptoms; they don't diagnose the cause. The treatment of symptoms often cause additional symptoms requiring additional treatments and on and on.

Imagine a world where cures for heart disease, cancer and diabetes existed " the potential devastation to careers in science, manufacturing, health care, hospital administration, and real estate is staggering. It could free up inconceivable sums of money from federal grants and private donations for 'research that could be used elsewhere.

Greed and power are formidable forces. In the end, what we don't know, will hurt us.

The vested interests - both scientific and, more importantly, the non-profit entities are not looking for cures. The quest for these entities is for treatments. With treaments the gravy train keeps on rolling, a cure would be disaster for the established interests as it would eliminate their necessity. This is equally true for climate science and most other disciplines. It is usually the reckless outsider who finds and promotes solutions as vested interests work against them to maintain their power, influence and wealth.

Cures versus treatments? Very good point!

Unfortunately, we, the average joe, are too often subject to half truths - regardless of where our allegiance lay in any discussion. Conservative or Liberal, Democrat or Republican - everyone has their own agenda and will only tell you what they want you to hear - either because they believe we are too dumb to come to our own conclusions or it does not serve their personal interests.

Whether it involves science, economics or politics - we seldom hear the whole truth. Should you be inclined to believe the accounts in the book of Genesis, half truths have existed since the appearance of man - "Now, the serpent was more subtle (cunning, crafty)..." - Certainly there was an agenda behind that first recorded interaction.

If each of us began a personal crusade to walk in absolute Truth, we would begin to do what is right, not just what is right for me. As to Google search - the number of results appears to be over 1,000 and this CTV article expounds upon the conversation you started -
