  • Thank you for the information I am glad that you are doing better

  • So how are you doing ?

  • what is the definitive test to have a diagnosis of lyme in late exposure? 

  • @thane17 please help me

  • Hi. So glad your doing so well. I'll be sure to share this with others.

    Are you familiar with Advanced Cell Training (ACT) ? Gary's getting incredible results with Lyme.Ir's quite different. Hope you are open to taking a look. Watch his video on Facebook.

  • you look fantastic bro

  • I AM soo happy you r feeling somewhat better...i am sure it makes a big difference...you keep up the great research!!;-)

  • I was DX with lymes November of 2010. I have done IV therapy twice since than. Are you currently seeing lymes literate doctor or just certified MD. I don't feel I'm getting the proper treatment is why I ask. If you know of any lymes literate doctors in the GA area I would appreicate that information.

  • Hi Thane - Maybe crainosacral therapy will help widen the circulation vessels in the head and neck. I had these treatments for concussive head trauma for about a year. I practice the method on myself now and it seems to help a bit with my LD neuro symptoms. I use imagery, like visualizing my head moving in a subtle jelly fish type motion and can feel my head getting warmer (its always cold!) and my thinking getting stronger. Thank you for posting the video!

  • Help for lyme: I don´t know if every damage made can be "repaired", nevertheless, Dr. Klinghardt ("HemoPyrrol-Lactam-uria (HPU), Lyme disease and autism presented by Dietritch Klinghardt, MD") and others have tremendous resulsts. Do also look into Dr. Chris Shade (youtube & his mercuryscientific, good lecture is "Dr. Chris Shade Lecture on New Methods of Mercury Testing and Detox IAOMT 2009 Las Vegas") & Dr. Boyd Haley (biochemist, ctiscience, OSR product, youtube).

  • Thank you for an excellent presentation loaded with info and hope. I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme last month and my whole world is going crazy. I saw "Under Our Skin" and that just set me off on a research binge. Just knowing some others are suffering the way I am and that this is being brought to light makes me feel better. Good luck to you and again, thanks.

  • Thane, before your Lymes do you recall if you had bad migraines? and the lymes just made it worst with all other aches and pains that go along woth lymes? thanks for your input!

  • @cinhenry i've had lyme since an early age, so i dont remember pre-Lyme days. I personally haven't had a lot of problems with migraines either. Have you addressed possible gallbladder issues? often migraines are caused from a congested gallbladder, and if you have lyme then you're dealing with a lot of toxicity which further congests the gallbladder. Just a thought. i know there are many variables. Good luck!

  • thank you for your very educational videos,

    and i only wish you the best

  • Oh, I am so glad to see you again and that you seem to be doing so much better.  Sorry you've had a re-stenosis. Boo! Will you message me what treatment you are doing?

  • “I feel I am completely cured” says Ms. Gianopoulos, “my symptoms have disappeared and I have a recovery of many functions, notably my balance and my muscle strength is all coming (back). Even after six months, I feel like there are good changes happening almost every day. Before, my biggest fear was that the changes wouldn’t (hold). I don’t even worry about having a relapse anymore”. Log on to ccsviclinic. ca for more information.

  • Hi! Will you start making more videos about your battles with lyme? I know its hard but i also know that it is encouraging to know that we are not alone with what is really happening to us. I have 2 very close friends with lyme and they need our support. Please.

  • CCSVI UPDATE: While I haven't had a new ultrasound performed its become clear i've suffered a re-stenosis of my Internal Jugular veins. All of my pre-CCSVI symptoms seem to have returned. It didn't happen suddenly but rather returned over the months. I still believe CCSVI is a piece in many of our lyme puzzles, but I dont know if we understand it well enough yet to know exactly how it fits.

  • @thane17 - Thane, do you feel like there is a belt tightened around your neck? Do you think you will get the angioplasty re-done? Would you get stents the next time? Please do more videos.

  • Thank You :') Thane

  • Thane, You really describe my symptoms when I watch your videos!!!! You are explaining the way my head feels every time you post. Thank you for sharing.

  • A new CCSVI clinic it is available in Bucharest, Doctors team from Bucharest are certified by DR.ZAMBONI in Ferrara and by Dr. Simka in Poland to perform the CCSVI treatment/procedures.

    The price of the treatment INCLUDING Travel Expenses(flight ticket,accomodation,transfers,­all exams,angioplasty) is 8200 USD for USA/CANADA patients and for europe patients 5100 Euro Incl. Travel expenses.

  • read this article. hopefully it will raise some awareness about lyme.

    you have copy and paste the url to go to the article

  • This is very good info on CCSVI. To get more info, I suggest finding several of the larger CCSVI Facebook pages addresses and visiting them. Mine is "CCSVIUSA" on both YouTube and Facebook. I am not a doctor. The latest information is that stents work fine and are used for both arteries and veins, but they are used as last resort and after 2-3 angioplasties, only if they don't work and stents are the last resort. Synergy Health in Costa Mesa, CA has treated Lyme patients with CCSVI.

  • I have Lymes Disease and it Sucks!!!!! :(

  • hey Thane--been looking into this out here in CA. These treatment centers seem to require that you have MS. What did you use as your diagnosis to get insurance to pay for this? Were the docs at that Atlanta clinic able to give you one to use after the imaging?

  • I have been treated for CCSVI because I have MS, but I think I have Lyme disease go figure I think my doctors are wrong and have been for about 20 years I am in the midst of getting tested for Lyme disease. Most important I felt somewhat normal after angioplasty.

  • I also recently discovered that organophosphate poisoning causes excitotoxic brain damage and, surprisingly, the same kind of diastolic cardiomyopathy that occurs in ME/CFS and this is why they present similarly.

    I am starting to think that the brain dysfunction in most ME/CFS is actually a completely secondary phenomenon to the heart and circulatory dysfunction. Explains why I have almost complete mediation of CNS symptoms with pain meds but no effect on systemic symptoms

  • Comment removed

  • CCSVI was what made me realize that ischemia was a driving force in ME/CFS and combined with the heart and circulatory dysfunction research, it all started to fit together. After the initial illness, I didn't start to go downhill again (after starting improvement in 3rd month) until I started having heart arrhythmia. No coincidence.

  • In the article (interview with an EEG expert) about the micro-seizure in ME/CFS, he mentioned that it causes "alpha wave intrusion." This is the same as the alpha/delta wave sleep studies. Sleep dysfunction, cognitive dysfunction, etc. are all from this micro-seizure. Unfortunately, even if you find an effective med, it's not going to help the systemic features (cardiomyopathy and circulatory) and can only mediate the CNS dysfunction.

  • The main NMDA/glutamate antagonists in the CNS are endorphins and GABA and ME/CFS patients are low in central endorphins so when we do not have enough of these chemicals in the brain, excitotoxic damage is the result. This also explains why NMDA antagonists are the best palliative meds (incl. endorphins/opiates, GABA, cannabinoids, selective NMDA antagonists such as Dextromethorphan.) For some, opiates may literally be a form of "endorphin replacement therapy."

  • Comment removed

  • All of these apply to Borrelia and most especially the direct infection since it has more ability to do this than the pathogens involved with ME/CFS. I actually suspect that my girlfriend (Dx with FMS) may have Borrelia from a trip to the UK. Unfortunately, since it would likely be afzelii or garinii, she can't get tested. She deteriorated on the place coming back; not surprising since Borrelia is microaerophilic.

  • A small subset of FMS patients have excitotoxic damage from dietary excitotoxins (MSG and aspartame) due to a compromised blood brain barrier and this could almost be considered a chemical proof for excitotoxic damage. The spinal stenosis subset is another. There are a number of causes for excitotoxic damage incl. ischemia, infection, chemical damage, etc. so it would make sense that there are a number of routes for ME/.CFS and FMS to be caused.

  • The resulting blood flow problems in the brain are caused by these blood pressure drop outs and it has been shown in neurological research that transient ischemia in the brain results in excitotoxic brain damage and the hyperalgesia pain and the micro-seizure that results in the cognitive symptoms (when your brain is doing a "soft reset" every few seconds, attention and focus becomes problematic, memory, etc.) Multiple studies have confirmed circulation problems in the CNS with ME/CFS.

  • Thane. You right on the money. Research in ME shows that all patients have diastolic cardiomyopathy. Combined with micro-circulatory dysfunction, it causes such problems with muscle metabolism that the "raggedy andy/ann fatigue is closer to a "bonk" ("hitting the wall") when we run out of available glycogen (when your aerobic metabolism is so screwed up, the anaerobic has to take over.) This seems to cause the drop out in blood pressure.

  • Interesting, is it possible that borrelia produces some chemicals that narrow veins ? hmmmm.......

  • Absolutely. There's a group in Boston that has been studying the toxins produced by Borrelia for many years. Many pathogens output toxins. Research in ME/CFS found a toxin ciguatera (which is also a marine toxin from fish but in ME/CFS is an endogenously produced toxin and is a general auto-immune dysfunction in many illnesses) and we also have micro-circulatory and nitrosative dysfunction that affects peripheral circulation to such a degree that muscle metabolism is severely impaired.

  • Thane, I am so happy for you!....I could see a difference in your face before I even hit play. Thank you so much for sharing this info with all us lymies and the world. I will definitely look into it, as my poor brain feels like swiss cheese. Take good care! I look forward to watching your next vid! :)

  • Is doxycycline the medication they give you once they diagnois you with Lyme?

  • @face2facechick

    Yes, doxycycline is the standard antibiotic to treat lyme disease. If treated immediately (within 1 month) 2 months of doxy should completely eliminate the lyme

  • @face2facechick Thanks for the response! I think I've had Lyme for about 6 months now. Should I just go for IV treatment or see if the pills work?

  • Almost 10yr with MS and it sucks... But we got to stay strong my friend! Add me on FB if you have it... TOuber83@live.com or just search my name Tommy Ouber. Nice to meet you.

  • Good to see u are doing so well bless u dear friend :D

  • I'm Keith Morey I was just talk to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt about this and he said this worked for Autism. Give me a call and i maybe able to help you for free Email me at supergoodstuff@cox.net thank's

  • Very interesting. I wonder if the pressure from from our veins crosses over and effects the pressure in our arteries or the reverse? Are the systems open to each other? Or are they individually closed systems. If so, it is possible that a restriction in an artery is what leads to the later restriction in the veins in a given area? Thanks for the info.

  • DOGOOD HERE: Hang In There Brotha. God Bless You.

  • That's a great breakthough, glad you are feeling better hope you continue to get better.

  • About four years ago I found a tick on me so i was worried and researched it a little on the internet and read about the bulls eye rash.... About a week later i noticed the rash on my back and also huge swollen lymph nodes in my neck so i was freaked out and had to forced my mom to take me into the doctor long story short i was treated with 2 months of Doxycycline. I guess i'm pretty lucky in that i caught it early on but i still experience the brain fog, memory problems, and fatigue.

  • Hello thank you for your video! I heard you take herbal treatments for antibiotics! I have been searching for an alternative too b/c I am very sensitive to alot of PX's. I have been battleing Lymes for 10 years and it's finally kicking my butt almost every day, and Im unable to go to work, Im a hairdresser and just dont have enough energy and also my body feels in soo much pain all over that its like i have artheritis! Im 24 and would love your help. thank you sooo much!! with love, lizzy

  • what is lyme ?

  • Hang in there Thane, you "can do all things through Christ who strengthens you"!

  • We are taking my 22 yrold son for his CCSVI test Tuesday. He has actually had more cognitive problems than you. His SPECT exam showed hypoperfusion in this frontal lobe due to vasculitis.He had CDC positive tests for lyme...now evidence of babesia and bartenella. Two years of abx and $600k in hospitalizations and treatments. So we will find out next week. Thanks again for

    your post and I hope God continues to heal you.

  • Fredriksen sounds like danish, anyway i got 2 cousins near or in Minnesota, last time i checked like 8 years ago ( they are swedes ).And yeah lyme we got that here to and now they seams to have found a new infection anyway new type- was written about the last year

  • NICE!! hope you'r doing ok now...nice video

  • My heart goes out to you as far as Lyme disease goes. I think Lyme disease started in the state i live in Connecticut. I don't know much about Lyme disease but strong anti oxidant fruits seem to help fight off just about every disease known to man do they help you at all?

  • Sorry, that should read 'endothelium'. As an adjunct I would like to add that in suggesting damage to cells and other possible areas of the CNS etc,this would not apply to all and would in part be dependent I would say on early intervention, state of immune system etc.As scary as it sounds, I do believe that inflammatory factors and the resultant toxic by products can lead to cellular damage and dysfunction.CCSVI I hope makes an enormous difference to many many sick people.

  • A really inteteresting video and I dearly hope and pray that you continue to improve. I find the information you give about CCSVI fascinating and in my view,an endorsement to the view I hold that many inflammatory conditions within the CNS lead to a condition of vascular insufficiency.e.g, this has been clearly shown in the past with SPECT scans of some M.E and MS patients. I would like to see intense studies done on edothelium cells that regulate elasticity of blood vessels as I suspect damage

  • Thane,

    I have Lyme and MS. I'm excited to report back after my procedure at the beginning of March. I hope you're still doing well.

  • I do not know about your illness, will say,.do consider if we could forget

    all what doctors say, all research done, everything just cleans slate

    Self hilling,.. take long trip,.. there where no one know or could imagine

    about all you but ..Simple seeing how wonderful Light You hold,

    All power to hill each one of us,. selves. Meditation,. connecting our Souls with nature Great healers, spiritual quest. You are fine, system always tend to entrap our chances, Blessing and thank You Om

  • Dear Thane, may Almighty God grant you His healing touch. Please believe in Miracles . You have a Heavenly Father who loves you. I am going to ask Him to grant you His healing touch.I hope you will experience His Divine Healing touch'

  • I can see the cognative improvement from your last few videos. I can relate to the symptom of consistant "brain fog". I don't have Lyme, I have a form of dysautonomia called pots. I am so happy you were able to see some major improvement!

  • Good to hear UR alive & doin' well. TX for the info!!!! Most interesting.

    Did U take any anticoagulants or other meds afterwards?

    If so what and for how long? Did the doc who did the procedure know U

    hv Lyme and was supportive? I wud think it's hard to find docs who will accept

    Lyme and treat this. I've had so much invalidation with allopaths I mostly tell 'em I have chronic fatigue, which I do, from Lyme...

  • Thane, thanks for your response. I'm trying some cranial massage to see if I can open up the jugular veinous return that way. I may be travelling to Atlanta in the future and have communicated with that group that does the ultrasound work. Thanks for that heads up, they have been very nice, super prompt and extremely informative.  I hope you continue to feel better and better...

  • Interesting video !

    5 stars ! * * * * *

    Thanks for posting !

    God bless you !

    Anastasia =)

  • thanks

  • Wow, this video is going to save my life. Thank You thane for braving such a new treatment, I can see already the benefits its doing to you... Tomorrow I hope to get my CCSVI appt set up! Oh to have even 10% of my brain I just.... tears well in my eyes at just the thought of it.

    Thanku soooooo much.

  • How did you decide to friend me? was it random? i need to know, thanks. please reply.

  • Ugh

  • good job! thumbs up!

  • this video really inspired me made...made me look at life completely diffrent...kEz

  • Hello Thane, hang in there, keeping you in my prayers ;D

  • If you haven't heard of MMS, then please do some research on it. Basically it's chlorine dioxide, and will only go after the bad pathogens once ingested in the body. Good luck.

  • Thane, thanks for your video and information. This is a whole new area with Lyme that I had not known about. Can you comment on how you are feeling now, as it appears this was posted 2 months ago. Has the procedure's positive effects been maintained?

  • @TDiddyKS I'm sorry for the slow response to your comment on my video but I wanted to tell you that YES the positive effects of my CCSVI procedure for my lyme have been maintained!

  • very good video

  • Hope your doing much better bro, I'll keep u in my prayers :-)

  • My friend, I hope u are feeling much better & continue to get well. I have some information to share. My brother in law aquired Lyme from a tick bite on his ankle, it got really bad. His ankle swelled & turned an ugly dark purple blackish color & he had the "ring" around bite. He did not want to go the normal course so he contacted a doctor in NC who put him on a natural regimen that cured him, no antibiotics. if u are interested I will PM u the doc's contact info.

  • @rusda2 I am seeing a great natural doctor and making improvements. The problem I am having is I have been sick for 27 years so its taking more time to bring me back. Thanks for your thoughts and comments :)

  • @thane17 Ok, I am not one to push anyone...but just so you know, my brother in laws recovery was very fast and this doctor consults over the phone, you dont have to go see him...think he only charges about $25 or $50 for a 30 minute consultation. Nothing against your doc, but if it was me I know I'd have to talk with this other doctor just from my brother in laws experience. if you should change your mind, just PM me. take care.

  • thank you for sharing ,you will get better : )

  • Wishing you'll feel better and better. Greetings from France.

  • HOPE YOU GET BETTER

  • hey try bee propolis, t boots your immune system , u have to take large doses of it, then get plenty of vitamin d cheapest way is 2 hours of sunlight, and eat all fruits and veggies of the color of the rainbow, thats the power is in the colors, the antitoxins. also try fusion, look ttha up . superfoods are known to heal ppl, its not fda approved, te fda whants us to stay sick so they can keep getting paid. the ancients did these methods to increase their life spans. go to ur nutritional stores

  • Hi Thane,,,Wish you do very Well from all your efforts...:)

  • I have never heard about this desease..

    Take care and have a Happy New Year..

  • Well done Thane, I appreciate your courage and strength, and generosity of Spirit

  •  Genius vidéo, bravo, 50000000000°°°°°°°°°°°°°°, joselito

  • Good video and thanks for it. I have a friend with lyme disease.

  • hey Thane i want  to say Merry christmas to you mate ! i hope you have a good time friend !

  • You've seemed to make a huge improvement since your 'lyme destroys the mind' video.... I'm sure you know most of the following alternative therapies......Autohemotherapy­, Ozone RHP therapy, Intravenous Vitamin C, and the next one isn't so much a treatment, but its a really helpful immune boosting/ regulating food (which some people find disturbing but research).... Raw Milk. You should make more videos though of the therapies you've done... You have no idea how much your videos can help someone.

  • Thank you for the friend invite. Have you tried using colloidal silver or drinking ozonated water or ozone therapy? There are ozone therapy clinics in Germany if you have the money. Hope you feel better. Peace and health.

  • I know that Cannabinoids (active substances in Cannabis) to put the veins open. However, this effect is temporary. None of the less it could give release. What it is also does is to balance your body in general.

  • I hope you are doing a lot better. :) I wish you manyyyyy blessings. Hang in there, bud.

  • Good luck - God Bless

  • You requested a friendship...so I checked out your channel and this film is so Courageous and Compassionate...and INTELLIGENT and insightful...and accurate from the reality of details from you and the changes and details...are Hopeful...Your attitude is very Heroic...and the Explanation of the process is Invaluable and very Informative...My family will pray you get the results you DESERVE...yes...I friended you back.. Happy holidays from my family to yours...:)

  • Do you know if you had any brain lesions due to the Lyme?

  • Prayers on the way!

  • of course your problem is different but what I am trying to say

    that an experimental method can turn out to be the solution

    never give up

    I hope you find the strength to keep fighting

    and believing

    good luck to you

    Lizet

  • 4 years ago I had a stroke, a blood-cloth in a vain in my brain

    there was a new method

    I got within 4 hours after the stroke a very strong blood thinner

    they call it trombolyse I belief

    I was 3 weeks in hospital and 3 weeks in revalidation

    I saw double, my face was disformed and I had severe balance problems

    thanks to the experimental method I am totaly healty again and my face

    looks normal

    so please believe that it will help for I did and now I am able to do everything

    again

  • sorry u had lime god bless u dale

  • This is a really interesting video. I truly hope you continue to keep it updated and let us know what is going on.

    It really seems to be that alot of these Chronic diseases are truly infections when you get down to it. But instead our doctors (not all) generally treat the symptoms and tell you you're nuts, or 'its all in your genes' and thats it. While Gene have a part to play, they are not simply the whole cause. These infections must be treated.

    Thanks for posting!

    Thanks for posting!

  • That's unreal. Kinda wanna get checked out, i have symptoms for lymes and CCSVI.. i think the best thing is that after spending so long trying to optimise ya brain to work as simple and easy as possible so it doesnt get burnt out,... will make you feel like you can do anything afterwards. "What doesnt kill me will only make me stronger" sort of thing. Way better than having it slowly kill you...

  • Thank you, I'm passing the informatiom on ..........

  • There are only so many ways for a body to express illness. Toxic Brain swamp is what we drown in if the brain is not irrigated well.

  • this is very interesting. i have TONS of brain fog so i will look into ccsvi, thank you!!

  • Thank You Thane for Sharing this..I will suggest this to my LLMD..I have so many problems with the brain fog, problems walking, losing my eye sight and hearing slowly..Was Misdiagnosed for 15 years..Keep us all updated , enjoy watching your videos..Your looking awesome..Lisa

  • super good information, I was also told by doctors that I had ms, twice, but there was no evidence of it, ie no lesions in the brain, just neurological symptoms. reason I find this interesting, is that migraines are believed to be caused by the same thing, in which case I do have migraines and use fever few to relieve it, which feverfew opens up those veins... hmm makes me think!!

  • Some suggestions "mms, organic silica, oil of oregano and a lympatic cleanse".

    Congestion occurs during and post infection and Circulation issues becomes a factor if not properly hydrated. Once you destroy an infection a lymphatic cleanse will drain your skin & blood of toxins built up. Avoid xrays and other devices that omit radiation. Radiation scans for hospitals usually give people led aprons to protect reproductive areas so if it can harm those areas you know it can make all cells weaker.

  • Hi Thane, Thanks. Very interesting piece of information. Could it be possible, that people with other autoimmune disease have CCSVI also?? I have been thinking that for a while now. I know a girl who has Lyme so will definitely pass this on to her. (A friends daughter) PS: My Neurologist prior to diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis was tossing up between Lyme & MS. I hope one day that everyone can have access to the PTV Procedure :) Kindest Regards, Lou

  • This is only a suggestion...have u tried Chelation. I recently heard abt this and its getting rid of toxins from ur body. Even metals.

  • sounds like a breakthrough ..time will tell.

    wild nettles keep me going[just] though I have different issues[no lymes]

    I read along the way nettles may help this condition too

  • Hello Thane,

    thankyou for your invite, have just watched you talk about the Lyme Disease was it it caused by a tick, i really hope you can overcome this i feel in my heart you are so alert and very intelligent that you will find the link not just for Lyme Disease but maybe even a breakthrough fo MS as well i wish for you every opportunity to take every thing you need to further your investigations that will help you beat this.....!

    God Bless you alway's...........

  • Thank you so much for the invite

    I wish you the best

    you are welcome

    Greetings from France :)

  • I wish you the best. Great job putting this together. God Bless.

  • Great to hear from you again Thane. I have had chronic circulation problems in my brain and body too. Though mine turned out to be due to lymph plugged up by toxins. Happy Thanksgiving!

  • hoping you continue to improve, I enjoyed listening to this video.

  • Howdy Thane, gud of you to make this video and pass on sound and personal experience of combating lymes disease, it is something that everyone needs sume awareness and and knowledge of.

  • Appreciate the info so much. You offer hope to people, and for that I thank you. I like your polite and well thought-out comments and your zest for knowledge. Hat's off to you and I look forward to getting to know you better.

    Highest Personal Regards,

    Dr. Margaret

  • Great Info. Please Give more updates on your treatment & test.. I need to ask/tell the doctors what to look for or some advice for them..what herbs do you use..do you have any links or sites where you found help with these info. These are the same problems I and others are having (in HEAD), Doctors have no answers for us. Thanks again. God Bless & keep you in my prayers

  • i said man way to many times

  • thhhhhhhhannnne. glad you made this vid man. you look good! i hear you about the brain clog i will deff check CCSVI out. im so happy for you man. thanks for posting man <3

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you so much. I was one of the "sent home with Lyme diagnosis" MS patients in Poland.

    Later, it was found that I have a severely pinched azygous vein (one of the veins that get affected by CCSVI)

    Waiting to have me properly treated (NOT in Poland this time)

  • have you also take into acount that it could also be toxic mold as well??? thanks a lot for the vid ; )

  • How long ago did you have this CCSVI procedure? 

  • Interesting report you give here

    Stenosis of the jugular and/or azygos veins have a variety of shapes and locations. It seems that this condition is acquired during the mother's pregnancy and doesn't cause MS untill the blood's back-flow lead to inflammation in the brain

    Thus, I don't see how the Lyme bacteria could cause CCSVI

    But both conditions can co-exist and worsen both symptoms

    It amazes me how fast you got tested and got the procedure done!

    Because no neurologist was involved, I suspect

  • @Zzozze Not the Lyme bacteria causing CCSVI but vice versa - CCSVI lowering our natural defenses, hence allowing Lyme to take over.

  • Thane, ty for the friend invite, great video! Where I went in Poland, they had been sending people home who tested positive for Lyme! wow to go that far for treatment and now hear there very well maybe a connection.

  • @BrendaRaven1 Wow! Do you know what their explaination for sending Lyme patients home was? I would be interested in any additional details you might have about this. Thanks so much!

  • @thane17 well I was with a small clinic, and from what I could gather, they felt they didn't have ms, so the treatment would be of no benefit to the patient, but I'm not absolutely sure if they went through the doplar and MRI as well. I know one gal kept saying "are you sure you have MS you have warm hands" I said, "well it's 32C outside and I have my last MRI, multiple lesions in the brain and spinal cord. so They may have just been within their study parametres. wish I knew

  • @BrendaRaven1 I see. Thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • Thane so good to see you are doing better! Amazing that blood flow problems is also a factor in Lyme Disease and treatable with CCSVI. This is a great video full of solid information. Thank you so much for posting!

  • @88whynot Thanks so much for the comments!

  • I remember my neurologist sending my spinal fluid to Salt Lake City to check for Lyme and oligoclonal bands.

    I only had the bands. (8 to be exact).

    I often find myself being thankful that he did this after I see people who have had damage done from chronic Lyme disease that could have been prevented.

    I have also received CCSVI angioplasty and I have had not had ONE MS SYMPTOMS SINCE.

    It makes sense that the Lyme disease finds it way to the brain if you have CCSVI reflux.

    The BBB is importan

  • @irishbear76 I love your videos. Keep up the great work!

  • this is very interesting I have MS have been Liberated and feel Great CCSVI may help many other things as well for instance epilepsy!

  • Drowning in my brain-shit. I found reforming diet to eliminate meat, cheese and dairy products and hidden dairy fats in biscuits etc lifted many veils.I live on tinned fish and vegies now. Try this  "aqu-vegan" diet for 3 months, it works too.

  • Hey wow Thayne, I have MS and CCSVI, my friend has Dysautonomia and CCSVI - both of us had head fog, fatigue, cold hands/feet, vision problems and we have both experienced real improvement following vein angioplasty much like you say. There is something in this for sure and not just for any one condition. It seems to pre-exist our conditions. I really hope that it can help people with Lyme too. I am subscribing to your channel and will post it on our CCSVI-Australia Facebook Group. Kerri

  • @kezzcass I have watched several of your videos, Kerri! You are doing so much to spread awareness. Thanks for your comments :)

  • Hey, you look great. Glad to see you back on here. :) Nancy

  • @TheAngelwhisperer Thanks Nancy! I've been meaning to call you one of these days. I hope you are doing well :)

  • Thanks for suggesting this one, Thane. My Lyme seems to have largely subsided (mostly joint pain). I switched my diet largely to the Gerson Method as outlined in the movie The Beautiful Truth and Food Matters (both on Netflix streaming). The gist is that it's basically large quantities of organic raw fruits and vegetables. My mental clarity is also much better. It might be worth a shot for you or anyone else with Lyme. I hope your symptoms continue to get better.

  • @MarineForLiberty The Gerson approach has helped my lyme a lot as well. Glad to hear you're feeling so much better and thanks for watching my video!

  • THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. GOD BLESS YOU....YOU LOOK SO MUCH BETTER.

  • LOVE TO YA DUDE!!! ALL THE BEST MATE FROM BLIGHTY!!! IM MISSIN OUR HANG OUTS TONNES!

  • Hi Thane, I live in San Diego, but am currently in New England visiting family. My Lyme MD sent your past 2 videos to her patients. You really hit the nail on the head re; a connection btw. Lyme & CCSVI ! Was going to ask u about insur. coverage, which I thought would most likely be covered as a veinous issue. QUESTION; Thane, when u went to ATLANTA, did u just have the Ultrasound done OR did youalso have the Angioplasty done? How many days should I plan on being there; U R FANTASTIC, SHANE ;-]

  • @infinitehealth1 Thanks for the comments!! I did have both the imaging as well as angioplasty. You can set it up all in about four days. Show up on a sunday or monday, have the imaging done on a monday or tuesday, and then have your procedure scheduled for a wednesday or thursday the same week. If you CCSVI results come back negative they will just cancel the procedure appointment. Thus far CCSVI Atlanta has found CCSVI in EVERY patient! And not all of them had MS. Best, Thane

  • @infinitehealth1 My insurance did cover it as a veinous issue, not as something relating to Lyme or MS. An Interventional Radiologists job is to fix the blood vessels, so if you have information displaying a blood flow problem he'll fix it, regardless of why.

  • Thanks Thane for getting back to me. Please keep us updated. I'm really happy to hear you have gotten some relief. Very exciting for the Lyme community. Been dealing with Lyme for 33 years. Didn't get diagnosed until 2.5 years ago. Have made a lot of progress by following the info on Lymestrategies.

  • Thane,

    Why did your doctor think you might have CCSVI ?  Do you have white matter lesions in your brain? What kind of doctor was it that told you to check it out?

    -Andrea

  • @ashcondad1 Andrea, My doctor is an integrative doc. We've known I had circulation issues for a long time, but when they didn't clear up with the improvement in my lyme we suspected it was more of a structural issue rather than simply inflamation and brain swelling. I have no lesions, which is interesting because most MS patients do.
