Meet my new friend, Sandi Selvi. She
has MS and went through nearly the
same procedure I did in 2000. Her
story is inspiring and is another
example of the real benefits of this
procedure.
She explains in great detail on her
website.
www.sandiselvi.com Her
picture takes you there, too.
We thank all those who donated money and their time to help us get
through this procedure. The money helped us with our living
expenses for the two months we were in Chicago. We especially
thank everyone for their prayers.
On June 15, 2007, I went to Chicago to take part in a procedure called
"Nonmyeloablative Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
for Multiple Sclerosis" at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL
to put my RRMS (Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis) into a long term
remission. With testing and hospitalization, it took two months to
complete. Now I am home in San Diego, CA recovering from the
procedure and waiting for my existing MS symptoms to fade away.  

My goal with these pages is to help people who have this disease , those
who care for them, and maybe even some doctors and/or Insurance
Company Executives by keeping them informed of this procedure.
Unfortunately, this procedure is not for all those with MS. There are
several criteria that must be met to qualify. Sadly, this procedure does
not work well for those whose disease progression is advanced. But
hopefully, I can help inform those with RRMS that may be interested and
want to look into this procedure. If so, a referral from your neurologist is
the first step.

I am not the first person to undergo this procedure (or one very similar).
But there are very few MS sufferers who have. This procedure has been
very successful in putting people with MS into complete remission. My
new friend, Sandi Selvi (shown below) is at seven years and still in
remission.

I want to build a community of people with MS in the hope that more of us
can reach a sustained remission. If you have a website or blog link that
you think can offer advise or support to those with MS, please go to my
blog or email me at my email address listed on every page of this site.  I
will add the link to this site.

All of my Procedure and Recovery Videos are also on
YouTube.
I will add
more friends
as I find
them.

Review all of the MRI reports in The Results Are
In page, which will show continued evidence that
this procedure was effective at halting the
Progression of Relapsing-Remitting MS and has
a high percentage probability of improvement
(unheard-of with MS).
