MS sufferers are now able to receive treatment at the Clinic of the Heart in Los Cabos, Mexico. No longer will it be necessary to travel to distant lands pay exhorbitant prices or endure long waiting lists to receive the care that can enhance the quality of life. The “liberation procedure” a surgical intervention that is used to clear the blocked veins that are consistently found in MS patients and are the basis of the findings of Dr. Paolo Zamboni regarding the cause of MS, called CCSVI (Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency), which states that MS is caused, in whole or in part, by the abnormal narrowing of veins in the vascular system that drains the central nervous system (the jugular and azygous veins). The procedure is now performed by an experienced team of specialists headed by Dr. Rafael Moguel, the Director of the Clinic of the Heart in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico who is an Interventional Cardiologist since 1992, with training and expertise on cardiac and extracardiac procedures including the brain.
Dr. Moguel is a fellow of the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Intervention (SCAI) among others. Need help? contact info@cardioabroad.com or Dr. Moguel directly at: cathboss@gmail.com

I am interested in this procedure but have a couple of questions. First what is the cost for the procedure, also staying in Los Cabos and the qualifications of the Doctors and training they have in CCSVI?
If you take part in the research and you are found to have the blocked veins would then go on and treat hat is the time period for this study?

My Husband Mario has had M.S. for 25 years , the past 4-5 yrs it has progressed rapidly, he has no weught bearinf strength, he is confined toa wheelchair, we have a hoist to transfer him from chair to bed, vice versa, we are quite prepared to pay all costs but would just like to know if Dr’s feel ccsvi might be a bit of reliefe, Mario does have other health issues, heart disease, high blood pressure and ablood disorder where his blood is too rich at times. He is very good mental health and prepared to try ANYTHING he is on alist for Lont term care because of his mobility problems. we’ll go anywhere within reason but as you can imagine travel is going to be a major problem but we’ll figure a way If he would qualify for the procedure. would REALLY appreciate help/ comments from anyone, a Daughter of a worker just had the procedure done on Monday July 26th and felt some benefits immediatly, this is avery exciting breakthrough we are just so dissapointed Canada is not permitting it, If we’re prepared to pay and sign waivers we should be allowed to have access to it . Thanks for listening!!

I was diagnosed with MS in 1999. No therapy taken. I have balance, walking, spasticity, double vision, cognitive issues. I would like to have the Liberation treatment ASAP. Please advise cost, and when this procedure would be available. Thank you!
how much do you charge and how soon could i be treated?
how much does it cost to be treated and how soon could i get in?
The CCSVI liberation treatment cost is $9,750.00USD + MRI $850.00USD + hotel for one week $925.00USD Total $11,525.00USD + Airfare ????
Appointments are available thru September and October except 10/19 thru 10/24.
The CCSVI Liberation treatment is of real interest to me, I currently have MS, was diagnosed in 1994 and in 2003 I had a very progressive relapse and now have Primary Progressive MS.
In February or 2008, I had a Pulmonary Embolism where blood clots released in my legs and logged in my lungs – was placed in a hospital for a month and a half and during that time I lost the use of my legs. So I am wheelchair bound and have to be transfered with a ceiling track from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to toilet and bath.
I do not have the availability at this time to have the MRI or the Doppler tests to check the neck veins.
What is your procedure for signing on to have this procedure done?
Carol
Want to sign up for the CCSVI liberation please contact me to set up a date.
Thank you
please send me some information of the procedure—-I see you stay in a motel for one week, but how long do you stay in hospital after the procedure? Does the quoted price include a companion?
Where do we fly into and do you provide transportation to the clinic/hosp?
Please include me on your waiting list and email expected appointment date as soon as possible. I have progressive MS and am in a motorized wheelchair all the time. I will require two caregivers. Is there accomadations available with an overhead lift track and wheelchair accessible vehicles?
What is your track record for PPMS verses other types of MS?What is the follow up or is there any? I would like to converse with other PPMS’ers that have been through your treatment.
Thanks

I see alot of questions on here regarding the Cabo treatment centre. My
friend just returned last week from this clinic and provided me with this information and costs:
Flight – depending where you’re coming from. Accomodation – family members travelling with patient stay in a hotel but it’s not overly expensive in Cabo. This cost basically is the same as if you were booking a one week vacation in Cabo.
If patient requires full time care at a hospital (related to MS or other issues but not to the surgery) the hospital cost for a week was $7000. If the patients don’t require hospitalization, they can stay at the hotel with their family.
Treatment was as listed above – $9750 for treatment and $850 for xrays/exam.
I’m hoping to learn more information about this as well and get my brother (RRMS for 8 yrs now) in for treatment.
I had Liberation Therapy completed on Dec.1st at Clinic of the Heart in Cabo San Lucas. I could move my left toes and ankle within minutes, the following day I could lift my foot and move it forward at the knee(first time in years).My balance and senitivity to touch improved 80% when tested on Dec. 3rd, I could read two more lines on the eye chart. Christmas day (yesterday) I walked aound all day without getting tired, and using my cane instead of the walker. Each day I notice small improvements, just now I noticed that I have better recall of the letters on my keyboard. Dr.Moguel’s team has restored my hope. The whole team is very interactive and are as pleased with our improvements as we are. My wish came true in Los Cabos thanks to Dr. Moguel, and Dr. Rodrigues I feel liberated. Happy 2011 to all. Many other Canadians were liberated that week and we share success stories via email. It’s a wonderful life!
