1. Can you please translate what they are saying

2. santo subito

3. I’ll try to get it translated if no one else does. I just need a few days.

4. Translation courtesy of ‘ultimaxy’

   Part I…

   S: And now we welcome to the studio Professor Paolo Zamboni, director of the center of vascular diseases Sant’Anna hospital in Ferrara, Italy, who has been involved in research on multiple sclerosis for years.
   Professor, good evening and thank you for accepting our invitation.
   Z: Thank you, good evening.

5. Part II

   S: Professor, your research and your method for treating MS are revolutionizing the scientific world: can you explain in a simple way what is this?
   Z: Yes, what we found, what we discovered, is that the main veins, which are located outside the skull, outside the brain, neck, mainly the jugular veins, have areas of closure.
   This prevents the blood from reaching the heart in the expected time, in order to detoxify, to move.

6. Part III

   These closures determine a delay in cleaning the brain from carbon dioxide, toxins, and catabolites, but also from infections and other agents that may affect the brain.
   And then there is a minor cleaning of the brain and this is an inflammatory stimulus.
   MS is a central nervous system inflammatory, degenerative, disease, and certainly suffers when there is association with this condition…

7. Part IV

   Studies are flourishing throughout the world on this: in people suffering MS, this condition is present at all latitudes and in all ethnic groups; it has been found in U.S., Middle East, central Europe, with percentage ranging between 60% and 100% of cases. A large proportion of people with multiple sclerosis have closures in these veins.

   (Sorry all, I’ll have to continue tomorrow…)

8. Part V

   S: Professor, what are the risks in undergoing an operation with your method?
   Z: Well, the idea was to open, expand these closed areas of the veins without the need for surgery with anesthesia, but through balloons that are generally inserted with a simple puncture under local anesthesia.
   This treatment is safe because, in the studies we did, we never had complications.

9. Part VI

   …Of course, these constrictions can also be opened with other methods that guarantee, for example, to reduce the possibility that these constrictions will reform. These methods are called stents, which are placed inside the veins. But they are potentially dangerous because they can migrate, they can detach from the point where they were placed in the neck and then can become dangerous.

10. Part VII

    I recommend taking the safe route, even if the procedure needs to be repeated a second time, rather than a dangerous one.
    Naturally, if one chooses to take the path of the balloon, it is the safe route, but they know that the possibility exists, between 30% and 40%, that they will need to repeat it, but I’d prefer that one takes the safe route.

11. Part VIII

    S: At what point is research here in Canada?
    Z: Here in Canada, I must say, I found … is a country between the more sensible, after the publication of data … more sensitive and more curious, and therefore more … studies started earlier than in other countries. For example, McMaster University In Hamilton is doing a study with the treatment, diagnosis and treatment, there are groups in Vancouver…

12. Part IX

    …and other groups that visited Italy, a dozen colleagues from Canada visited me to learn and update on this . So, I think there is good movement. I also met a surgeon, Sandy McDonald, who has treated some patients in an initial pilot group, with encouraging results. I think we’re moving quickly, because we published the study in December of last year. Now, we are in April and in Canada we are already moving.

13. Part X:

    S: Well, the most important question to our viewers: what can MS patients interested in undergoing this treatment do?
    Z: My recommendation is this: we must aim to have very strong scientific evidence that treatment cannot be denied.
    To do this, we must go through a phase, which can take even a couple of years: this is a study called ‘randomized controlled’, that will provide indisputable evidence that this treatment is important to people.

14. Part Xi:

    In the meantime, there is a category of people who are in a state of rapid decline, and there are no drugs to stop this decline. I believe that this group of people should be offered the chance to get this treatment right now, as I said, in angioplasty form, because it is safe and inexpensive, and because it is the only alternative they may have. Certainly, from what we have understood, there are no miracles, but the disease can be slowed down and quality of life, greatly improved.

15. Part XII:

    This would help many in this category who cannot wait for studies to unfold, because of the graveness of their condition.

    For those who are currently receiving effective treatment, I recommend that they be patient… why? Because studies will give us the opportunity to further improve the technique.

16. [Apologies to anyone waiting for the rest. It's coming. Also, regarding the 'Comments removed', they were duplicates. YouTube was playing tricks on me. BBS]

17. Part XIII:

    S: Can they apply directly to you in Italy, because this is the question that many viewers have given us, or?
    Z: This is theoretically impossible, because, if you can imagine, in the first month alone after this was publicized, I received 36,000 requests from patients around the world. Italy has a government health system and we cannot accommodate these people.

18. Part XIV:

    What can I do? What am I doing, rather. I am educating a number of very capable people in different countries, who will be organized to carry out studies and have chance to do the treatment in their respective countries. In Canada, they are already moving. I think that, by the end of the year, Canada will surely have treatment centres.
    S: Great. Professor, I thank you for having accepted our invitation.
    Z: and I, you. Thanks to all.

19. Again, special thanks to ‘ultimaxy’ for the translation. Also, I highly recommend watching the Regional Workshop that took place in Sardegna. It is the most informative sessions I have seen. Translated by ‘ccsvisardegna’.

20. Gracias Dr. Zamboni, a mucha gente le está devolviendo la vida!!! Que Dios lo bendiga!
