Dr. Arslan now accepting Canadian patients in Chicago.
FROM NICKY BEAGLE WATTS:
For those of you looking for an interventional radiologist, Dr. Bulent Arslan
of Rush University Hospital in Chicago is accepting patients. He has
performed over 300 CCSVI procedures (in Tampa, FL and recently moved to
Chicago), and is a wonderfully compassionate and caring IR. They are
also accepting Canadian and other international patients for a
reasonable fee at the Radiology Clinic. Here is the information he sent me yesterday:
Rush Hospital agreed to have a reasonable pricing for un-insured
patients and they will provide all necessary supportive services to
those patients. So yes, as of last week we will be happy to get
Canadian/international patients here. You can give them my email for
initial contact. Bulent_arslan@rush.edu
Also our clinic number for scheduling is: 312-563-3105
Dr. Bulent Arslan did all 3 of my CCSVI procedures and I highly recommend him. Good luck and God Bless you all~
Dr. Bulent Arslan also did my procedure last year with great success! Blessings Wendy

Good Health Is Everything
What does it mean to have good health? To me it means everything. No more lying around in pain and anguish. No more brain fog. No more weakness, no more overheating, no more terrible fatigue and feeling like I am going to have a stroke. I am able to walk around the park, I can then still go home and do housework, stay up late to watch a movie, dance, swim, exercise, have fun, go to church at the real parish church and not at my house church. Join the ladies group and sit through a long meeting without those cooling bands wrapped around my head. No more yawning but lots of wade awake moments. My poor hubby can't keep up with me anymore due to the fact he has to have a hip replacement this year. Reading a book in two days the way I used to and retaining the storyline for two weeks this is amazing for me! I have to start looking for a way to make some money so I can continue on this path of wellness. It is not cheap as I have to take a lot of supplements, join a health club, eat right and save up in case I have to have the angioplasty done again. God bless Dr. Arslan and the other good doctors in the USA and those in Canada who are for us and helped us so much. Blessings to all!
