On Oct 8, 2012 Dr. Sclafani, the well known Interventional Radiologist who treats CCSVI wrote on the ThisIsMs.com website:
"That being said, i recently have had two patients with severe spasticity which I
believed were clearly due to demyelinization. To my surprise some improvements
occurred after venoplasty. I still cannot figure out why this occurs."
On my blog entry of April 22, 2012 I wrote:
I resumed the “paleo-macrobiotic”, veggie juice, gluten
free diet around January 17, 2012. Mid March the muscles on the outside of my
right leg began to cramp up and “work”. I could pull the leg up in physical
therapy without simply using the Quadricep thigh muscle. I was surprised that
after only 2 months of detox diet part of the dormant nervous system began to
work. (The first time around in 1984-85 it took a year for “dead” nerves to
work.)
It doesn’t really make sense that the myelin sheath would heal in
such a short time. Then late March I developed a bladder infection which
weakened me and eventually I took antibiotics to treat it. As usual this threw
my Acupuncture meridians out of balance, my bladder didn’t empty well, my legs
were clumsy. Were the nerves affected, or simply the meridians which control
the muscles? Also the recent improvement in the leg disappeared. Once off the
antibiotics, my legs and balance strengthened and 2 days later the muscles
outside the leg reaching into the buttocks began cramping again and appeared to
be working. Are these the nerves? My own impression is that the“blocked” blood
flow has resumed to nourish the brain. Maybe the problem isn’t simply a
question of periodic blood refluxes but insufficient blood flow into the brain
(of course this corresponds to my theory that the circulatory system is
“stunted” or insufficient in MS). According to Kinesiology, when the body’s
energy circulation is “unbalanced”, blockages can occur everywhere, not just the
muscles. Perhaps by removing substances my body cannot tolerate,the energy
system re-establishes itself, and the blood can nourish the brain correctly. We
shall see. I am surprised at such a rapid response to diet change. I wonder how
far it will take me? "
This improvement parallels Dr Slafani's surprise
that improved blood flow alone could impact the nervous system favorably even in
the face of de-myelization. Of course my treatment implies what I call "toxic
MS", that toxicity (food intolerances, aspartame etc) can actually impede blood
flow and removal of the the toxins can liberate the flow. I mention Acupuncture
Meridians as impacting blood flow, but that idea just throws traditional researchers off balance. So let's just say that my experience tends to parallel Dr. Sclafani's observations that improved blood flow enhances nervous system activity.
