Re: Miscellaneous-Soda, Prokarin, and CCSVI

[Guest guest]

It took many months to clear out the damage that was done by the sodas.  They

had diagnoised me the rheumi. with fibromyalgia.  When I drank the wheatgrass

juice and vegie juices eventually it went away in 6 months to a year.  I drank

lot of wheatgrass juice daily.  It was my medicine.

Joy that is great information. I used to have an overconsumption of soda problem

(pre-MS) and I still do but not as bad as it used to be--as I got better after

the MS diagnosis. But I do think there has been a correlation between my

drinking coca cola and this joint pain in the back of the heel I developed a few

months ago. I had started drinking a lot of cokes again a few months back during

a busy/stressful time in my life and we also moved and have stairs now--so

anyway bottom line no more cokes or any sodas for me. I will miss it though

because the short term effect of the soda is great on my MS symptoms-more energy

and clearer head and able to be active all day with 16 ounces of coke. But the

long-term results are not worth it. Again thanks for your post. I decided not to

go to the rheumatologist, as I don't need another diagnostic label that will

worry me and to be handed a bunch of drugs. I do agree that the best is to flood

the body with green juices and other anti-inflammatory foods and supplements.

As an aside, I am going to start the Prokarin Patch today. I have some

hesitations but I decided that trying it for 2-3 weeks probably can't hurt, even

if the diet and supplements that go with it are not what I would like. If in a

few weeks I have anything like the great results you had, it would be worth it.

Hey, if I die in my early 70s of a heart attack from eating too much saturated

fat, at least I can have decent years until then.

Last night I read an article about CCSVI by a CCSVI Interventional

Radiologist expert that was entitled " Restenosis Is Not a Matter Of If But

When. " It explained that restenosis is a natural and expected part of the CCSVI

process and can be expected to occur in EVERY SINGLE individual who receives

CCSVI treatment between 4-18 months after each CCSVI. He said that issue should

not be a deterrent and that it is OK to keep getting the CCSVI repeatedly as

that is part and parcel of the procedure...... However, for me the idea that

every year (more or less) thing is a deterrent, as I just don't think the veins

could take that many repeated balloons and at some point could collapse.

Afterall this procedure has only been around 2-3 years and we don't know what

the very long-term results are for those people who may need 50 CCSVI treatments

in their lifetime. I posted the article to the group, but because I am on

moderation status in this group, my posts can sometimes take 1-2 days to come

through, and I don't see it yet. When the article comes through I am eager to

see what others think of the article, especially those who are more well versed

in CCSVI than I am..... It is not the financial part so much for me cause

luckily here in the U.S. the procedure is covered by most insurance, including

mine. But I just think that is too much on the veins and eventually they could

collapse and make things worse.  Hence I am likely going to cancel or postpone

my CCSVI and try the Prokarin first.

Alan.

Back when I was in college to become a RN, I drank lots of coke or pepsi trying

to stay awake in classes. We had odd class hours at times and many late nights

studying so I drank pepsi instead of coffee as I don't like coffee much.
