CCSVI Treatment in Mexico

Undergoing CCSVI in Mexico can be particularly beneficial to those looking to get rid of Multiple Sclerosis at a low cost. As anyone living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) knows, this is one of the most awful of the diseases.  So far, all the wealth of the industrialized nations has not been able to either eradicate it or stop its progress.

Hope has recently been renewed with Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency or CCSVI treatment. CCSVI is a controversial procedure and has its adherents and detractors. When it works, it only works with certain MS sufferers, and not others.  But it is the only thing so far that claims to have stopped MS. 

Many sufferers and their loved ones are willing to at least look into CCVSI’s possibilities. With medical value tourism in Mexico on the rise, facilities have been set up all over the country that treat MS sufferers with CCVSI. The healthcare personnel in these  facilities are highly professional and successful, and treatments are dispensed with at much lower costs than their costs in the U.S. or any other western countries.

Controversy surrounding CCSVI

In 2009, Dr. Paolo Zamboni and a team of Italian researchers stated that:

• In MS sufferers, veins bringing blood from the brain and spine back to the heart become too narrow.
• This causes some of that blood to leak back into the brain tissue.
• This either leads to the development of MS or makes it worse.
• If these veins can be cleared, the MS can be cured too. 

Many MS sufferers who took the treatment claim their MS has either been cured or considerably alleviated.

However, other researchers disagreed.  They claim that:

• The Zamboni team’s research was not properly proven.
• They were not able to reproduce the Zamboni’s team research under the same circumstances.

Dr. Zamboni calls it “liberation” treatment. Because of the controversies, the CCSVI Alliance, a support and information group for MS sufferers prefers to call it CCSVI because some approaches are different from Dr. Zamboni’s. Recently a Canadian sufferer died after CCSVI treatment, although it has not been proved that the treatment was responsible for the death. Sufferers must consider all these things before deciding whether to go ahead with the treatment or not.

What MS sufferers can expect with CCSVI treatment in Mexico?

Once a sufferer is satisfied that CCSVI is the route to go, Mexico has the following benefits:

• Costs are much lower than in the United States and other countries where medical fees are high.
• More economically feasible since in most cases insurance may not cover this treatment.
• No waiting times in Mexican hospitals.
• Aftercare and recovery in the warm Mexican sun.

Not all Mexican facilities are equally qualified or accredited.  Care must be taken that only the best medical staff is consulted.  However, CCSVI treatment in Mexico is currently an excellent option.
