Excited About Dr. Zamboni's Findings!

I was send an attachment about a former Vascular Surgeon in Italy who has found an incredible finding that could halt MS progression and could also help with many of the symptoms. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20091120/W5_liberation_091121/20091121?s_name=W5

Check this link out to hear the entire story, but basically he believes that MS is actually originally a Vascular disease. He found that in all the MS patients he tested, they all had narrowing, twisting or outright blockage of the veins that are supposed to flush blood from the brain. He checked these veins in healthy people, and found none of these malformations. He also did not find these blockages in those with other neurological conditions.

"Not only was the blood not flowing out of the brain, it was "refluxing" reversing and flowing back upwards. Zamboni believes that as the blood moves into the brain, pressure builds in the veins, forcing blood into the brain's grey matter where it sets off a host of reactions, possibly explaining the symptoms MS."

I have read a lot about Zamboni on the Internet and feel this is it. The most exciting part is that there is actually an easy procedure to open up the veins and let the blood flow freely. I am going to see my neurologist soon so I can get him to give me an MRV (Magnetic Resonance Venography) and a Doppler ultrasound for the neck. I want to see that I have this narrowing that the doctor is talking about. I still believe in diet and lifestyle, but if there is a narrowing, and it can be fixed, that can only make the blood circulation in the body better and in turn making us feel better! With the will of God, this doctor is onto the biggest discovery for curing MS.

New Outlook on Life

To be honest, I am not doing too well the past few weeks. Feel tired and my legs go heavy at times and my energy levels were not very stable. My mood would get really low at times and as usual I would think of quitting my medication. I would also mention to those loved ones around me that I was tired and not doing well.

I have decided to shift my way of thinking. Number one, I will not think of stopping the medication anymore unless I find my MRI's are getting worse. Because that idea should i or shouldn't I quit has really taken its tole on me. I am too weak to make that decision to quit so I might as well stay on it willingly. I have been on Avonex for more then ten months and I'm going to stick to it. Second of all, I won't complain or mention to people or to myself that I am extremely tired at times, I will take advantage of those moments and just rest and read and learn more from my great books. I must take every event that comes into my life with ease and complete submission, and that is what I am aiming to do. Third of all, I won't let MS get in my way of my dreams in achieving my business. I have been letting MS stop me from working harder and achieving more and I won't let that happen with the will of God. I am reading a book right now called Think and Grow Rich and i feel it's going to make a profound impact on my life.

Business Update

It's been a while since I wrote on my blog. I've come back from my vacation and have been enjoying the summer months and it's almost time for my children to start school again.
My health is good. I have my days when I am more agitated then others, but I am very happy because I have fasted this month of Ramadan. I did not fast the days I take my shots since I feel I need panadol to help with the joint pain. I am very happy that i was at least able to fast most of the month compared to last year. When I was on Rebif it was impossible.
On another note, today I got great feedback about the products that I make for my business. It was very positive and very promising. I know I have a treasure in my hands and with the will of God, I will make a difference in people's lives.

Update Since MRI

I haven't updated my blog for a while. My MRI went well. The doctor told me that I have no new lesions and that they have all gotten a bit smaller. To me that is great news! If you look back on my blog, almost exactly a year ago some time in July, I said that I would be MS free a year from the time I wrote that message. I am not MS free, but I am on my way to recovery. He of course thinks that the vitamins have nothing to do with it, God only knows, but I am still taking them along with the weekly shots.

My son's operation also went well. We are all in good health and I am now taking a little vacation visiting my family. My business is all set up and ready to go. When I get back to my home I plan on starting to get it going. With the will of God, it will be a success.

Scheduled to do MRI

Since the last time, I didn't take my shot on time. My body reacted poorly. I felt as if my body got used to the shot. I went back the next day and took my shot. I'm dong well. I just get extreme tension at times especially the day of the injection.
My business is coming along. I'm very hopeful and nervous as well. I pray that I will be able to carry on the business and it will only strengthen me, inside and out.
I am scheduled to do an MRI on Saturday. With the will of God, it will show me that I am on my way to recovery. The next day my son is to do surgery. I'm not worried about it. He has to do a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and a right meringotomy. They are all simple procedures and I think it will clear up any of the problems he has with the ear, nose, and throat with the will of God.

Extreme Tension

I feel extreme tension build up. I feel it in my head. Everything bothers me and gets to me. I feel extremely fragile today. I can't take it anymore. I feel maybe I really need to do something about it. I overreact to everything more then ever. I need to just relax. I think I will stop taking the shots for a little bit and see how I feel. With the will of God, I will make the right decision and stick to it.

Update on My Health

The test results were all fine. However, I do think I have Candida. Even though the tests don't show it, I know it is not detectable in tests many times. The fact that i had it in my stool test after my operation also indicates that it is present even if now it is not detectable. I am eating well. I take vitamins regularly, and I try to eat as gluten free as possible. I feel alright these days. I'm accomplishing what I set out to do every day and my mood is alright. My business is coming along and I'm very hopeful about its future.
