Dear Fellow MS patient or care-giver:

My name is Steven Simonyi-Gindele and I am writing to tell you that my wife, Ruth, was freed from the worst of her MS symptoms on December 29, 2009, thanks to a simple treatment for CCSVI pioneered by Dr. Paolo Zamboni.

She was patient #17 to be treated for CCSVI in Poland, according to Dr. Zamboni’s protocol (also called the Liberation Treatment), and for 3 solid months she has experienced a new life of normal living. Her draining fatigue, constant headaches, double vision and other symptoms were gone or have mainly disappeared. This was accomplished through a simple angioplasty that unblocked her left jugular vein and restored regular blood-flow.

I mention this because I am inviting you to join me to help make this safe, simple treatment available to every MS patient throughout the U.S.Canada and the world. Based on current data, well over 50% of MS patients will benefit from this procedure and return, depending on the amount of permanent damage suffered, to their former lives. The earlier the treatment, the less the permanent damage, hence the urgency.

But let me start by telling you how Ruth’s life changed – thanks to Dr. Paolo Zamboni, an Italian vascular surgeon who may one day receive the Nobel Prize for Medicine.

Ruth’s life was being destroyed by MS, and I felt helpless.

I have been an MS caregiver for the past 22 years to my wife. This disease has affected every aspect of our life. It was the unseen third-party in our marriage always present and always interfering and demanding attention.

Nothing could be done without considering her MS. When we went skiing with our sons, Ruth had to stay behind in the cabin. We would go biking, but Ruth never had the energy to ride with us. The last three years were particularly difficult as her condition worsened: The pain and fatigue became more intense, and consumed more and more of her waking hours.

And it got even worse. During 2008 and 2009, she began looking so pale and ashen when she was sleeping, I had to check to make sure she was still breathing. Every night we would pray and ask God for His help and deliverance from this horrible disease. Day after day, month after month, year after year we prayed. But instead of getting better, Ruth was getting worse, and we believed that only Divine intervention could save her. The $2,500 monthly drug regimen certainly wasn’t helping, but we were afraid to stop the injections fearing more severe and frequent attacks.

But the worst of all was when Ruth began saying that it would be better if the Lord would take her. She wasn’t suicidal. She was just logical. The woman I love was slipping away before my eyes.
