Treatment of multiple sclerosis in Russia - why and how!
Already in 2020 on the market appeared the drug "Xemmus", created by Russian scientists. It is applied on patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. It is an open effective supportive therapy that allows multiple sclerosis patients to remain socially active. It is this drug that has prompted many poros affected by the disease to head for multiple sclerosis treatment in Russia. In cases where patients and their families are unable to fund treatment, they often resort to setting up a charity campaign.
Successful treatment of multiple sclerosis in Russia
The therapy carried out in Russia is more specific. One of its main features is that peptide fragments of the myelin protein bind into liposomes. Clinical trials have been carried out which show that the method does work. The drug itself contains fragments of myelin, and these in turn 'teach' the immune system not to attack its own nerve cells. The price of the drug Xemmus is significantly lower compared to other drugs available on the market. In Russia, the practice of providing the drug free of charge to multiple sclerosis patients has also been adopted.
Why do people choose multiple sclerosis treatment in Russia?
WHO statistics show that nowadays over 2.3 million people are affected by this disease. However, so far no effective treatments have been found.
In North America, an experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis is also available, which is known as HSCT. However, treatment in Russia is significantly more accessible and cheaper. People with multiple sclerosis from all over the world choose to travel to Russia for experimental treatment. It represents a potential cure for the disease.
Take a look at some of our successful multiple sclerosis fundraising campaigns:
HSCT therapy for multiple sclerosis
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is known as HSCT therapy. It has been shown in many cases to halt disease progression with a single treatment.
However, in North America this procedure is still considered experimental. This is the reason it is not widely available. Its cost is also very high. In Russia, however, it is also carried out, and at a much more affordable price. However, when it comes to treatment abroad, money often proves to be more than patients can afford. Then it is good to take the opportunity to create a donation campaign on PavelAndreev.ORG.
In the opinion of Bruce Bebo, who is Executive Vice President for Research at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, HSCT treatment is encouraging. However, he cautions that there are currently not enough clinical trials conducted to be fully clear what the real risks and benefits are.
What is multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating autoimmune disease. In it, the body's immune system begins to attack the myelin, which is the protective insulation of the nervous system. The attacks cause what is called sclerosis, and it leads to a range of neurological symptoms from tremors and loss of vision to difficulty speaking. It is most commonly diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 40. The severity of the disease and the difficulties it can cause in the daily lives of those affected is leading more and more people to seek treatment abroad. The most frequently chosen destination is treatment in Russia.
The other alternative treatment for multiple sclerosis is HSCT and it is available in North America, but also in Russia, and at a much more affordable price. It is a complex procedure requiring a bone marrow transplant. The manipulation resembles that which oncologists use for some types of blood cancer.
The treatment is an attempt to "reboot" the immune system. The goal is to stop attacks to the brain and spinal cord. In many cases, after this manipulation, the renewed immune system learns that the central nervous system is not dangerous and stops attacking it.
After the first interventions are carried out, the patient is given a strong dose of medication, and most often this happens in a hospital setting. At this time the immune cells are seriously weakened.
The process can be difficult and long, but the chances of improving the condition and stopping the progression of the disease are really good for patients who take the opportunity of treatment in Russia.
At the time when patients' immune system is suppressed, they have to take antibiotics to fight potential infections. Also, the time it takes for the immune system to recover must be spent in a hospital setting.
To help Vessela stop the disease
The Pavel Andreev platform is running an active donation campaign for Vesela, who is suffering from multiple sclerosis. She says that the disease has already inflicted serious damage on her motor functions. She finds it difficult to walk even with the help of a canary. Vesela has two children aged 5 and 12 - they are her main incentive to fight. I want her to get better so that she has the opportunity to raise them, be their support and support.
Visit PavelAndreev.ORG's causes page to see more examples of how certain donation amounts can help.
However, her illness is progressing every day and her daily life is becoming more difficult. She has already tried various treatments as well as supportive therapies, but despite all of them her condition continues to worsen. After learning about the possibility of treatment in Russia through HSCT she contacted the institution where the treatment was performed - Maximov Institute, Pirogov Hospital, Moscow. From there they gave her a high percentage of hope to be able to stop the disease. For years now, Vesela has been fighting multiple sclerosis.
After applying for the treatment in Moscow she was approved and has a date set to enter the hospital in August. The amount needed for treatment is 50,000 euros but is unaffordable for her family.
Therefore, Vesela is appealing to everyone for help through our donation website. She needs funds to get well, to raise her children and to be a support and support for them. She dreams of being the healthy mother that every child needs!
