The Next Phase

I now have my own medical practice. I am open for business and eager to help people heal and get healthy. I am going to try to write about my experiences helping people as my way to help myself understand what exactly healing is and how it can be facilitated.

It seems the standard medical world is excited and recharged by the amazing possibilities that are arising out of all the new technological innovations that are now here and are definitely coming soon. Smart phones seem destined to revolutionize medical delivery with the incredible things that can be accomplished with our own personal computers that we carry in our pockets or purses. Our homes stand to become mini intensive care units if that is needed and medicine will continue to expand its power outside the hospital and clinic. I am truly grateful to this new progress(which gave me a healing that literally brought me back to life) and am excited to witness the revolutionary forces that are shaping our lives. The possibilities are mind-blowing.

While I am excited to witness this "wild ride", what I wish to focus on and be is an "old-time" doctor with a black bag whose main tools are my ears, my heart and my creativity. I plan to(and have started) helping people get well with a simple strategy. I listen hard for the pearls in their story and guide them to see their situation with new eyes. I do not forsake the technology that is now available. To the contrary, we have an unparalleled opportunity to know what is happening in the body and visualize the structure and function of any system and I want that information. With that knowledge, we(the patient and I) can venture forth toward healing, transformation and well-being. The technology gives us a picture and from here we can usher in changes that bring health. New perceptions, new beliefs, new approaches can unlock the blocks and barriers that have kept us down and made us weak and ill. There is a world of possibility out there that we can tap into. Technology shows us the current state; changing our beliefs can bring a new(and often) a better state.

My coming blogs will detail the stories I have been fortunate enough to witness. Of course, the names will be changed but the stories are real. Healing can happen and I want to talk about it.

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

$$$

I received my bills this week. $ 32,000 for the Liberation Procedure. $1200 for MRV. Amazingly, my insurance(Blue Cross) covered all but $5000 of the total. I feel so fortunate that it was largely covered. I have sat on Utilization Review Committees(when I worked at Scripps) and thought the insurance company would deny coverage based on the experimental nature of the procedure. Luckily for me, I was wrong! I guess they just cannot deny need for treatment of blocked blood vessels.

Liberation

It is now 3 days after "Liberation Day". Sunday afternoon 12:30 pm. February 28th, 2010. Three days ago, Dr. Mohsin Saeed at Scripps Clinic opened my left jugular vein with angioplasty and my right jugular vein with angioplasty followed by a stent. The procedure is called by its inventor, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, The Liberation Procedure. It is a revolutionary treatment for an old, disabling disease -- Multiple Sclerosis. Until about 3 months ago, the only theory I knew about MS was that it was an autoimmune disease which attacked and destroyed myelin, the external coating around nerves. For unknown reasons, nerve conduction was slowed while plaques formed in the brain. It was always unclear why or when attacks would happen but they did and were difficult to control. Modern medicine responded with anti-inflammatory drugs and immune suppressants following the line of reasoning that if the disease was caused by an immune response, then stopping the immune response would stop the dise...
