Living Beyond the Diagnosis

Welcome to the first entry of my blog series where I share my journey through six months of CVAC (Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning) therapy as a patient suffering from Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). My hope is to offer fellow MSA sufferers and their caregivers a detailed account of this experience, providing insights and perhaps a bit of hope along the way.

The Initial Appointment at Ascent: A New Beginning

Starting any new treatment can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, and my first appointment at Ascent Adaptation & Regeneration was no different. The process began with a comprehensive cellular integrity (Bio-impedance) analysis, a vital step in understanding my cellular health.

Cellular Integrity Analysis: The Foundation

The cellular integrity analysis focuses on measuring something called the phase angle. This measurement reflects the permeability of your cellular membranes. Essentially, the higher your phase angle, the better your cells are at detoxifying waste and toxins, as well as absorbing essential nutrients and oxygen. For most people, a high phase angle in youth diminishes with age unless proactive measures are taken to maintain it.

In my case, despite battling MSA, my baseline phase angle was relatively stable, indicating my cells were still functioning better than expected. This gave the team at Ascent a positive starting point, suggesting that I might respond well to their program.

Understanding Inflammation

The analysis also provided a baseline for cellular and systemic inflammation. Supported by the MyTrial program and Dr Khurana and his team, inflammation is a crucial factor in disease progression (and possibly disease inception), and controlling it is key to managing symptoms and slowing down the disease. Fortunately, my inflammation levels were not out of control, providing another optimistic indicator for the treatment’s potential efficacy.

Enter CVAC: The Heart of the Treatment

CVAC therapy aims to improve cellular function by reducing inflammation, eliminating waste and toxins, and enhancing mitochondrial function and oxygen delivery throughout the body. The protocol involves undergoing an hour of CVAC sessions twice per week.

Bio-Modulator: Recharging Cellular Voltage

Alongside CVAC, I was introduced to the Bio-Modulator, also known as the Cellular Voltage Recharger. This device, developed by Dr. Jerry Tennant, is designed to increase cellular voltage. Higher cellular voltage is associated with better cell function and overall health. Dr. Tennant’s research suggests that when cellular voltage drops below 20 mV, the risk of disease increases significantly. By enhancing my cellular voltage, the Bio-Modulator helps my body to better regulate and heal itself.

Looking Forward

This initial appointment was just the beginning. Over the next six months, I’ll be sharing regular updates on my progress with CVAC therapy. I’ll delve deeper into how these treatments are affecting my MSA symptoms, overall health, and quality of life.

For those interested in the technical aspects of the technologies being used, here are some resources provided by Ascent:

• InBody 770
• CVAC

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Whether you’re a fellow MSA patient or a caregiver, I hope my experiences can offer valuable insights and perhaps even a bit of encouragement. Stay tuned for more updates!
