0:00:59.423,0:01:03.941
My name is Mehran Tavakoli Keshe, I´m a director of the Keshe Foundation.

0:01:03.941,0:01:07.060
Keshe Foundation is a spaceship program

0:01:07.060,0:01:09.249
which is involved in plasma technology,

0:01:09.249,0:01:13.747
and it has proven through different aspects of its development

0:01:13.747,0:01:16.264
that energy and motion can be made

0:01:16.264,0:01:19.621
from plasma in a very simple way.

0:01:19.621,0:01:23.017
For years we've been asked how we have developed

0:01:23.017,0:01:24.504
and taken our technology in plasma technology,

0:01:24.504,0:01:29.914
which has to do with gravitational magnetic field of a system,

0:01:29.914,0:01:32.449
into the Health section of the technology,

0:01:32.449,0:01:37.933
and how we achieved so many different positive moves,

0:01:37.933,0:01:42.224
and changing diseases, using the new plasma technology.

0:01:42.224,0:01:45.100
For the first time, with this video

0:01:45.100,0:01:49.446
we open our doors to the world population,

0:01:49.446,0:01:53.084
to look and see how a simple technology

0:01:53.084,0:01:55.252
has changed the life of a man.

0:01:55.252,0:01:57.754
At the same time, with this video

0:01:57.754,0:02:00.293
we are releasing a paper for the first time,

0:02:00.293,0:02:03.952
from the Health aspects of the technology of the Foundation

0:02:03.952,0:02:09.568
and for the first time we allow the world's scientific,

0:02:09.568,0:02:13.353
and the world population, to have a glimpse

0:02:13.353,0:02:15.301
into one of the most secret and guarded

0:02:15.301,0:02:17.930
technologies of the Keshe Foundation.

0:02:17.930,0:02:21.509
We are opening our doors in response to the peace talks

0:02:21.509,0:02:25.325
which is taking place, and at the same time

0:02:25.325,0:02:27.235
ensuring that there is new development,

0:02:27.235,0:02:31.056
in Health, in Energy and in Space.

0:02:31.056,0:02:34.650
So, with this video we would like to show

0:02:34.650,0:02:38.369
how a life of a man who has been sentenced to death,

0:02:38.369,0:02:40.063
literally, by being told

0:02:40.063,0:02:43.571
that he has a disease called ALS,

0:02:43.571,0:02:45.583
and how he has changed his life

0:02:45.583,0:02:51.922
using the system, from March to September of 2013.

0:02:51.922,0:02:53.980
Most of the videos you will see

0:02:53.980,0:02:59.242
is being made by him, and at the same time

0:02:59.242,0:03:01.778
made during the processes we had with him,

0:03:01.778,0:03:05.232
during the system development.

0:03:05.232,0:03:07.940
We see how a man who barely could walk

0:03:07.940,0:03:11.839
now he goes to work in Rome and in Milan (city)

0:03:11.839,0:03:16.234
and at the same time he has been given a second chance

0:03:16.234,0:03:19.696
he is getting part of his movement back.

0:03:19.696,0:03:25.220
ALS is a death sentence when it is given to you by a doctor.

0:03:25.220,0:03:26.830
The only thing is

0:03:26.830,0:03:29.851
we do not know the time when it will be carried out.

0:03:29.851,0:03:33.178
You end up being paralysed, then you can not speak,

0:03:33.178,0:03:37.121
and usually followed by suffocation and death.

0:03:37.121,0:03:40.278
For the first time we have developed the technology

0:03:40.278,0:03:44.907
to be able to monitor and reverse this process.

0:03:44.907,0:03:51.591
This gentlemen is very tied up with this disease.

0:03:51.591,0:03:53.539
He can not do much,

0:03:53.539,0:03:55.482
but now he's getting control of his arm back.

0:03:55.482,0:03:58.643
He's getting control of his feet back.

0:03:58.643,0:04:02.286
He's getting control of his work, in a way,

0:04:02.286,0:04:04.337
being able to go to his office back.

0:04:04.337,0:04:10.173
He's joining the society in a slow but sure way.

0:04:10.173,0:04:17.572
This video is to show (that) now there is a solution for ALS.

0:04:17.572,0:04:19.644
This is one of the final cases

0:04:19.644,0:04:21.745
after we developed different systems

0:04:21.745,0:04:23.948
for this disease and M.S.

0:04:23.948,0:04:26.286
And we can say with certainty:

0:04:26.286,0:04:30.461
"There is a way out of this disease".

0:04:30.461,0:04:32.984
We welcome anyone who would like

0:04:32.984,0:04:35.908
to talk to us about this disease,

0:04:35.908,0:04:39.061
be it themselves being affected by it,

0:04:39.061,0:04:41.600
or you are a member of organization or association

0:04:41.600,0:04:43.416
which is working with ALS.

0:04:43.416,0:04:45.362
Or you are a pharmaceutical,

0:04:45.362,0:04:47.050
and you want to develop this technology

0:04:47.050,0:04:48.854
further for the world population.

0:04:48.854,0:04:53.156
Our doors are open and we welcome you for cooperation.

0:04:53.156,0:04:54.888
The same as what we did for our Energy,

0:04:54.888,0:04:56.756
and for our Space, with governments.

0:04:56.756,0:05:00.112
And same as what we did with our World Peace Treaty.

0:05:00.112,0:05:03.931
If you want to talk, contact us. Please go to:

0:05:03.931,0:05:06.681
als@keshefoundation.com

0:05:06.681,0:05:10.522
which we especially opened this line for this disease.

0:05:10.522,0:05:16.204
Fill in the form and we will respond. It is very easy.

0:05:16.204,0:05:18.571
There should not be a death sentence

0:05:18.571,0:05:21.387
once you are told you have ALS,

0:05:21.387,0:05:24.118
for the majority of the ALS cases.

0:05:24.118,0:05:30.316
We have not found the solution for all of the aspects of different types of ALS,

0:05:30.316,0:05:33.180
but at least we have opened the doorway.

0:05:33.180,0:05:35.679
WE WELCOME ANY HEALTH AUTHORITY OR ANY GOVERNMENT

0:05:35.679,0:05:38.411
WHO WOULD LIKE TO LOOK INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

0:05:38.411,0:05:41.856
OUR DOORS ARE OPEN TO YOU! We are not hiding anything,

0:05:41.856,0:05:44.382
The same as we did not with our World Peace Treaty,

0:05:44.382,0:05:47.363
and with our Energy, and the Space technology,

0:05:47.363,0:05:50.330
We have shared them with the world population,

0:05:50.330,0:05:52.110
now we're sharing our Health,

0:05:52.110,0:05:54.597
directly with the world population.

0:05:54.597,0:05:56.326
Watch the video, I hope you enjoy

0:05:56.326,0:05:58.075
and take pleasure as much as we did,

0:05:58.075,0:05:59.660
seeing how the life of a man has changed

0:05:59.660,0:06:04.216
without even taking any medicine. Thank you.

0:06:04.216,0:07:27.202


0:07:27.202,0:07:34.808
Today is 8th of September, 2013. We are in Rome

0:07:34.808,0:07:39.424
and the purpose of this recording is to show

0:07:39.424,0:07:44.452
that the disease known as ALS or known as "DESMA"

0:07:44.452,0:07:47.176
can be stopped and reversed.

0:07:47.176,0:07:52.332
And today we have a gentleman with us is Mr. Max Vassan,

0:07:52.332,0:07:55.570
who has been through this process since March of this year (2013),

0:07:55.570,0:08:00.712
and this gives us a springboard to bring

0:08:00.712,0:08:07.273
this technology from the health aspects in respect to ALS

0:08:07.273,0:08:13.838
into the mainstream medical applications for the Foundation.

0:08:13.838,0:08:17.340
And I would like to ask, if you want to introduce yourself,

0:08:17.340,0:08:21.805
about who you are, and how long you have ALS.

0:08:21.805,0:08:24.975
My name is Maximiliano Vassan

0:08:24.975,0:08:29.213
and I had the diagnosis

0:08:29.213,0:08:35.126
for ALS. I received 6 years ago, it was 2007,

0:08:35.126,0:08:40.067
and I'm 44 years old now, I was 38

0:08:40.067,0:08:48.050
when I received this bad news and... that's it.

0:08:48.050,0:08:54.295
How has been your position before you started

0:08:54.295,0:08:57.295
this process with the Foundation?

0:08:57.295,0:09:04.605
The position was: I was closing. I was stopping

0:09:04.605,0:09:10.588
my life, more or less, not willing to go out.

0:09:10.588,0:09:15.588
Not willing to meet people so it was a... a total closure.

0:09:15.588,0:09:18.717
So, not only from the physical point of view

0:09:18.717,0:09:21.797
but from the psychological point of view.

0:09:21.797,0:09:27.587
So it was a kind of hopeless life,

0:09:27.587,0:09:34.167
more or less, without any big expectation for the future.

0:09:34.167,0:09:40.759
What was your condition when you started

0:09:40.759,0:09:43.687
this position, physically and mentally?

0:09:43.687,0:09:46.669
Physically... let me say the biggest changes were not

0:09:46.669,0:09:52.186
from physical side..umm, (rather) the psychological side.

0:09:52.186,0:10:00.582
I was afraid... I was afraid to go out,

0:10:00.582,0:10:03.257
to live a normal life.

0:10:03.257,0:10:06.390
So I believed that staying at home

0:10:06.390,0:10:11.093
I could... something could have happened,

0:10:11.093,0:10:14.795
and maybe to heal to recover...

0:10:14.795,0:10:18.730
but now I guess this was bad thinking,

0:10:18.730,0:10:23.263
because at the end the message was not of life,

0:10:23.263,0:10:27.514
it was a message of death, closed at home,

0:10:27.514,0:10:30.211
not going out with family, son and so on.

0:10:30.211,0:10:34.622
And in the past my physical condition was,

0:10:34.622,0:10:39.231
better before in the years, I mean,

0:10:39.231,0:10:43.451
but from the Psychological point of view I was really, really closed.

0:10:43.451,0:10:45.939
This is completely changed now.

0:10:45.939,0:10:49.546
So this is the biggest change

0:10:49.546,0:10:51.828
from the psychological point of view.

0:10:51.878,0:10:57.732
The physicality, the physicality , the first signal I got recently.

0:10:57.732,0:11:02.078
The big signal one week ago,

0:11:02.078,0:11:05.391
so part of the walking

0:11:05.391,0:11:10.941
it is improved since we met five months ago.

0:11:10.941,0:11:12.508
The rest is coming now,

0:11:12.508,0:11:17.158
so it's first psychological point of view,

0:11:17.158,0:11:23.518
these are most important, and then the physical now.

0:11:23.518,0:11:25.936
When was the last time you came to Rome,

0:11:25.936,0:11:28.522
where you worked, where you are going today?

0:11:28.522,0:11:36.110
I was here nearly one year ago, and it was for a job,

0:11:36.110,0:11:41.207
so I had to come for some professional situation.

0:11:41.207,0:11:46.880
And then I say: "I am not meant to come here in the future".

0:11:46.880,0:11:55.020
So wish was, "OK, maybe one day", but without really believing.

0:11:55.020,0:11:59.923
So, now I'm here because... I'm here for no reasons,

0:11:59.923,0:12:04.165
So, I'm here for a kind of holidays, let's put it.

0:12:04.165,0:12:10.210
Because, I'm here because I want.

0:12:10.210,0:12:14.820
So, before I had yet to come for a reason,

0:12:14.820,0:12:19.856
now I'm here because I want.

0:12:19.856,0:12:24.259
This life is slightly different, but internally is a big thing.

0:12:24.259,0:12:29.146
When you were here last time, could you walk on your own? Or?

0:12:29.146,0:12:35.252
No. Oh, maybe I could... but I didn't!

0:12:35.252,0:12:39.259
So, I was walking hanging onto the shoulder of my wife.

0:12:39.259,0:12:42.582
because I was completely insecure.

0:12:42.582,0:12:51.775
I was afraid at that time one year ago to go out... towards a pain.

0:12:51.775,0:12:59.495
it was pain... not being like physical pain, but it was really difficult.

0:12:59.495,0:13:05.930
I was afraid to go outside for my condition.

0:13:05.930,0:13:13.432
So part of it was related to the risk to fall down to hurt myself,

0:13:13.432,0:13:19.664
but also the rest was to meet the people in this condition.

0:13:19.664,0:13:24.080
So I felt really uncomfortable to go out.

0:13:24.080,0:13:27.753
You started the process in March? Yes.

0:13:27.753,0:13:34.354
When we saw you in the first meeting you could only walk

0:13:34.354,0:13:38.293
with the help of your wife holding your shoulder? Yes, yes.

0:13:38.293,0:13:43.099
At that time for me it was unthinkable to walk alone outside.

0:13:43.099,0:13:47.971
I was doing that at home, but at home was easy.

0:13:47.971,0:13:52.435
Outside, I completely needed the support of my wife

0:13:52.435,0:13:58.304
to be sure, so it was a kind of "safe" for me.

0:13:58.304,0:14:03.802
But now? Now? Now, every time she

0:14:03.802,0:14:09.274
offers me the, not the shoulder but the arm, I say:

0:14:09.274,0:14:15.312
"I don't want". So, I walk alone as much as I can.

0:14:15.312,0:14:19.602
If I see any obstacles on the steps and so on,

0:14:19.602,0:14:23.423
and I'm not gonna say, it's stupid, I don't want to fall down,

0:14:23.423,0:14:29.088
so i ask for help, but only in the situation where I need it.

0:14:29.088,0:14:32.080
You work at home upstairs? Yes.

0:14:32.080,0:14:33.896
On the second floor? Yes.

0:14:33.896,0:14:37.330
How has that situation changed there?

0:14:37.330,0:14:40.764


0:14:40.764,0:14:44.198
I have these steps... it is quite tough because the steps are high.

0:14:44.198,0:14:47.027
This is kind of measurement for me.

0:14:47.027,0:14:55.977
It means I can measure my carefulness everyday doing these steps.

0:14:55.977,0:15:01.582
The situation I was used to when I started living in this house,

0:15:01.582,0:15:05.925
it was OK... I was able to go without problem,

0:15:05.925,0:15:10.820
but anything was worsening the situation, so more difficult.

0:15:10.820,0:15:13.320
In the last month, even after the treatment

0:15:13.320,0:15:20.749
I had kind of, let's say, changes in a situation, so not improving.

0:15:20.749,0:15:29.494
Last week, as you know, was kind of a bad week where I reached the limit.

0:15:29.494,0:15:33.785
It means immediately, I was not able to do these stairs.

0:15:33.785,0:15:37.240
It was a kind of shock. I was afraid that day.

0:15:37.240,0:15:46.470
But then I understood that it was only from the mental point of view, I was afraid!

0:15:46.470,0:15:54.069
The week after, I mean last week, I had experienced a completely new situation.

0:15:54.069,0:16:00.329
It means, everyday from Monday to Friday, I was stronger

0:16:00.329,0:16:04.224
and lifting the arms stronger, but much stronger.

0:16:04.224,0:16:08.234
And every day was better than the previous.

0:16:08.234,0:16:11.587
This happened from Monday to Friday.

0:16:11.587,0:16:17.564
This never happened in 6 years! Yes.

0:16:17.564,0:16:21.931
So you have some control of your arms and walking? Yes.

0:16:21.931,0:16:27.271
I started to have control on the right arm.

0:16:27.271,0:16:31.779
On the left I can not lift so I'm very weak,

0:16:31.779,0:16:37.060
but let's say I started very light control of shoulder.

0:16:37.060,0:16:40.788
It means it's not enough to move to rise,

0:16:40.788,0:16:48.103
but if I lie on the bed with arms, let's say on the high side,

0:16:48.103,0:16:52.332
the left is going falling down because gravity so I cannot control.

0:16:52.332,0:16:54.673
the right I can control a little bit.

0:16:54.673,0:16:56.981
So I brake it when is falling down.

0:16:56.981,0:16:59.209
This you couldn't do before? No.

0:16:59.209,0:17:05.169
This I discover by chance same week of August last,

0:17:05.169,0:17:12.827
because I was expecting during the movement this arm falling down

0:17:12.827,0:17:16.419
and that, unconsciously, I was controlling.

0:17:16.419,0:17:21.848
So, that's why I recognized there is something strange, it's not normal.

0:17:21.848,0:17:30.720
And then after that day, this control stays up to present.

0:17:30.720,0:17:36.143
Some days it is better, let's say, some days a little bit worse,

0:17:36.143,0:17:41.404
but this control is present up to date.

0:17:41.404,0:17:46.733
And you are walking? The walk you do?

0:17:46.733,0:17:54.523
The walking is a tricky point, because, I improved.

0:17:54.523,0:17:58.858
Because one year ago I was walking, only with my wife.

0:17:58.858,0:18:02.501
Now I walk as much as I can alone,

0:18:02.501,0:18:06.322
so I don't want a support.

0:18:06.322,0:18:09.931
Some days I walk much better than others.

0:18:09.931,0:18:15.026
I started to walk also on the ground and grass.

0:18:15.026,0:18:22.929
I mean difficult paths, and this has changed.

0:18:22.929,0:18:30.897
The problem of walking is that for me is it's so, let's say,

0:18:30.897,0:18:39.525
minimal changes day by day that it's difficult for me to recognize the changes.

0:18:39.525,0:18:47.519
So others told me: "Look, you are walking in a different way".

0:18:47.519,0:18:51.181
So it was difficult for me to believe that I was walking differently.

0:18:51.181,0:18:57.901
But looking at my first video, and remembering how I was walking one year ago.

0:18:57.901,0:19:00.704
I must say I walk in a different way.

0:19:00.704,0:19:06.525
So I compare to my previous situation when I was running and doing everything,

0:19:06.525,0:19:09.791
so if you compare to this you are deluded,

0:19:09.791,0:19:13.855
but compare to one year ago... now I'm walking!

0:19:13.855,0:19:18.946
I don't have any big slant or big autonomy really,

0:19:18.946,0:19:23.822
but walking is different for sure... and it's better.

0:19:23.822,0:19:26.275
Your son made a comment about your walking?

0:19:26.275,0:19:30.320
Yes, my son, my son, my own son...

0:19:30.320,0:19:37.923
it was a day when I was supposed to be tired, the weekend tired.

0:19:37.923,0:19:46.729
and I was feeling myself bad going after from the car,

0:19:46.729,0:19:53.734
normally when I sit for a long time, I'm tired.

0:19:53.734,0:19:58.078
I said OK, I need some time to sit up.

0:19:58.078,0:20:05.885
And my son who was behind me said, and the sentence was like:

0:20:05.885,0:20:13.794
"Dad, to be without muscles or to be a ill man, you walk fast!"

0:20:13.794,0:20:17.765
I said: "Why? Why you said that?".

0:20:17.765,0:20:21.055
So for me I was walking bad and slow,

0:20:21.055,0:20:26.616
but, for my son I was walking fast.

0:20:26.616,0:20:34.720
And my son see me every day. So my feeling was wrong.

0:20:34.720,0:20:38.025
That's why I said it's difficult.

0:20:38.025,0:20:42.601
For the walking the best effects

0:20:42.601,0:20:51.700
I see from the others. The people was looking at me in one, two, three weeks, one month.

0:20:51.700,0:20:57.656
For me it was the same, for people sometimes it is shock.

0:20:57.656,0:21:04.848
Then I can't believe everybody is lying to me or so.

0:21:04.848,0:21:08.675
That's why... the changes were so small,

0:21:08.675,0:21:13.128
and alot of them sometimes for me it is difficult to believe.

0:21:13.128,0:21:18.913
So I'm becoming used to the changes.

0:21:18.913,0:21:25.137
But, yes, one year ago I was walking totally differently than now.

0:21:25.137,0:21:32.531
Better? ... Better!! But then you started Interacting in society...

0:21:32.531,0:21:35.970
Can you tell us what was that like?

0:21:35.970,0:21:43.338
This was starting after a couple of months,

0:21:43.338,0:21:48.178
Yes, after the start of the treatment.

0:21:48.178,0:21:54.656
And this was the one of the most important changes and the first to come.

0:21:54.656,0:21:57.833
So, the psychological point of view, as I told you.

0:21:57.833,0:22:05.303
Before I was not simply willing to meet the people,

0:22:05.303,0:22:11.451
friends, parents or people that are part of our life...

0:22:11.451,0:22:18.200
simply taking children to school and so on and so on, and other families.

0:22:18.284,0:22:21.674
As I told you I preferred staying at home, alone,

0:22:21.674,0:22:27.432
and I feel safe. It was at home I feel safe.

0:22:27.432,0:22:31.402
And my family can go out and enjoy and so on,

0:22:31.402,0:22:35.358
but at the end this was not good. So I started it.

0:22:35.358,0:22:40.448
How long did you do this for? ... Years. About 3, 4 years?

0:22:40.448,0:22:49.964
Yes, go t on this. So I probably closed any intellectual activities

0:22:49.964,0:22:53.610
because I felt uncomfortable doing these.

0:22:53.610,0:22:56.537
So what happened? Then the first step...

0:22:56.537,0:23:02.772
The beginning was kind of a challenge, a big conflict inside.

0:23:02.772,0:23:08.846
So, I accepted to do something that I never did before.

0:23:08.846,0:23:13.743
So to meet the people directly.

0:23:13.743,0:23:19.196
For years I refused to meet in a specific situation:

0:23:19.196,0:23:24.039
parties, or a dinner, or social events.

0:23:24.039,0:23:33.803
The beginning was a big conflict, I do, I don't do, and so on.

0:23:33.803,0:23:40.473
But I did it. Then, continued treatment and passing the time,

0:23:40.473,0:23:48.974
the wish to meet the people, to go out, was stronger and stronger and stronger.

0:23:48.974,0:23:55.316
So, from one social activity became two, three and four.

0:23:55.316,0:24:06.222
And if before it was a pain, a fear about situation, about the reality,

0:24:06.222,0:24:12.290
at the end, it became not.

0:24:12.290,0:24:19.340
So, the fear was much weaker compared to the wish to go out.

0:24:19.340,0:24:25.090
And I reached the point this summer, in August,

0:24:25.090,0:24:30.756
that I met all these people without any,

0:24:30.756,0:24:38.352
without care about what they could think about me, and so on.

0:24:38.352,0:24:40.634
Can you tell us the situations?

0:24:40.634,0:24:46.725
The situation was, it was middle of August, in Italy,

0:24:46.725,0:24:53.290
and they invited some gentlemen of school company of my son,

0:24:53.290,0:24:58.637
invited us in the countryside, for a BBQ.

0:24:58.637,0:25:04.206
Countryside for me means immediately difficulties,

0:25:04.206,0:25:07.572
and also their house, to reach the house,

0:25:07.572,0:25:12.228
there are hundreds of steps and long houses' steps.

0:25:12.228,0:25:15.023
For me in that moment it was impossible.

0:25:15.023,0:25:19.017
But now in the rest of it, OK, let's walk at least,

0:25:19.017,0:25:25.418
and I will see the situation,

0:25:25.418,0:25:29.783
so, I said: "First, let's go there... and then let's see what happens".

0:25:29.783,0:25:31.613
At the end, it was wonderful day.

0:25:31.613,0:25:35.608
So, I was able to walk in spite of

0:25:35.608,0:25:38.050
the ground... it was not easy.

0:25:38.050,0:25:45.654
We spent the day between friends, eating, drinking, laughing.

0:25:45.654,0:25:51.264
So, it was normal, very normal, the children were playing...

0:25:51.264,0:25:56.373
So, I was very surprised.

0:25:56.373,0:26:03.215
People doesn't care about me completely.

0:26:03.215,0:26:06.290
So, after, let's say, a few minutes,

0:26:06.290,0:26:12.536
I felt like normal. completely normal, in spite of all my difficulties.

0:26:12.536,0:26:16.353
Would you have done this last year?

0:26:16.353,0:26:28.132
No. All these social situation I have made since I started the treatment.

0:26:28.132,0:26:30.529
I would have never done before.

0:26:30.529,0:26:34.506
So you meet these situations personally. Yes. Yes.

0:26:34.506,0:26:39.103
And, would you have done that? No.

0:26:39.103,0:26:43.277
I avoided in the past, all these situations.

0:26:43.277,0:26:46.254
An easy example:

0:26:46.254,0:26:51.626
Every Friday, my son in summer time goes to summer camp.

0:26:51.626,0:26:55.862
And they organise every Friday, at the end of the week,

0:26:55.862,0:27:03.556
a small spectacle for the parents... they are going there since 3 years minimum.

0:27:03.556,0:27:06.741
I never attended to any of this one.

0:27:06.741,0:27:09.147
Because of your illness? Yes.

0:27:09.147,0:27:17.834
But the funny thing is that in the past my physical situation was much better

0:27:17.834,0:27:21.967
than now 2, 3 years ago, but I didn't know.

0:27:21.967,0:27:28.761
Now I attended, I attended to all the spectacles,

0:27:28.761,0:27:32.608
and I'm still alive, I enjoy.

0:27:32.608,0:27:40.034
And the funny thing is that my son again, saying, told me:

0:27:40.034,0:27:43.528
"Why you didn't attend in the past?"

0:27:43.528,0:27:49.621
And I couldn't answer, because he said:

0:27:49.621,0:27:54.304
"If you can come now when you are not in a wonderful situation,

0:27:54.304,0:27:58.602
why you didn't come in the past, when you were much better?"

0:27:58.602,0:28:01.179
I had no answer!

0:28:01.179,0:28:03.336
When you see the first change?

0:28:03.336,0:28:08.845
One week, two weeks, three weeks after you started?

0:28:08.845,0:28:12.731
I think after some weeks let's say, between two.

0:28:12.731,0:28:20.626
In the first answer, I started to see some psychological changes,

0:28:20.626,0:28:24.471
yes, in one month more or less.

0:28:24.471,0:28:30.114
What do you think the future holds for you now?

0:28:30.114,0:28:37.723
First of all I started again to think of the future... which is a good point.

0:28:37.723,0:28:49.044
Looking at these changes it seems to me that I started a new road,

0:28:49.044,0:28:53.708
that I can not stop on, so, I tried to making the office,

0:28:53.708,0:28:55.942
going out with friends and so on.

0:28:55.942,0:29:02.024
And, I don't want to stop,

0:29:02.024,0:29:08.760
So, my thinking now is that it was stupid, my behavior before.

0:29:08.760,0:29:14.170
I am wondering why it was that way...

0:29:14.170,0:29:20.000
now it seams strange what I did in the past.

0:29:20.000,0:29:24.849
You've been back to your office in Milan, one month or four weeks ago?

0:29:24.849,0:29:26.926
Yes, one month ago exactly.

0:29:26.926,0:29:35.048
This office I opened, personally, 15 years ago.

0:29:35.048,0:29:39.738
Then we changed the building but I never visited this office..

0:29:39.738,0:29:42.458
When was last time you were in there?

0:29:42.458,0:29:45.456
In this building I've been never.

0:29:45.456,0:29:54.762
I was in the previous building, but last time was 2008 I guess.

0:29:54.762,0:30:02.626
I stopped to go to the office in Milan, also because I was working in Rome,

0:30:02.626,0:30:07.567
so I stopped to go there, so it was very long time.

0:30:07.567,0:30:12.879
This was a new office opened two years ago, and I've never been there.

0:30:12.879,0:30:24.054
In August, it was the beginning of August, I was back to Milan meeting these guys and looking at the new office.

0:30:24.054,0:30:34.058
It was very nice because, let's say, I left Milan many years ago.

0:30:34.058,0:30:37.987
Strange thing was that, when I was there, even new office,

0:30:37.987,0:30:46.423
I was feeling was like I was working there since forever.

0:30:46.423,0:30:50.623
I had no bad feeling, oh my God, it's many years,

0:30:50.623,0:30:53.590
that I'm not here, and people will look at me strange.

0:30:53.590,0:30:56.860
I felt completely normal.

0:30:56.860,0:30:58.912
Are you going back?

0:30:58.912,0:31:00.784
Yes, in the end of this month.

0:31:00.784,0:31:07.993
I already fixed it, and every month I'm going in the Milan office.

0:31:07.993,0:31:12.919
Do you see yourself going back to work normal, in the future?

0:31:12.919,0:31:15.408
This is without, doubt, absolutely.

0:31:15.408,0:31:20.461
So today you are going to see your colleagues more or less for the first time?

0:31:20.461,0:31:28.081
Yes, these colleagues in Rome that for nearly one year that I didn't meet,

0:31:28.081,0:31:32.452
and they don't know anything about this... this treatment I'm doing.

0:31:32.452,0:31:39.679
So, I kept reserved, only 2 or 3 people know,

0:31:39.679,0:31:44.311
and even they don't know anything about that I'm here in this moment.

0:31:44.311,0:31:50.794
So, we are going to the company, and it would be totally shocking to many people.

0:31:50.794,0:31:54.992
So, I don't know the reaction that they will have.

0:31:54.992,0:31:57.834
Are you coming back to work in Rome?

0:31:57.834,0:32:00.597
Yes this is my target.

0:32:00.597,0:32:04.578
One of the things which is important to understand

0:32:04.578,0:32:08.264
by the work of research of Foundation,

0:32:08.264,0:32:12.743
is we call ALS "the death wish that comes true",

0:32:12.743,0:32:17.628
which means that psychologically, through certain reasons,

0:32:17.628,0:32:24.590
the individual sets off a certain kind of process which terminates the life.

0:32:24.590,0:32:28.289
This termination of life means they can

0:32:28.289,0:32:35.842
escape from the problems of \what they are facing.

0:32:35.842,0:32:38.860
Some people chose hanging by suicide.

0:32:38.860,0:32:42.533
Some people choose different methods of ending life.

0:32:42.533,0:32:47.623
But, ALS in fact is the same process,

0:32:47.623,0:32:52.258
but starts with a process of psychological double trigger,

0:32:52.258,0:32:55.250
of which we understand the process.

0:32:55.250,0:33:01.185
And this psychological change, which then afterwards becomes a physical change...

0:33:01.185,0:33:04.598
As we see the arm is coming back, and the walking has changed.

0:33:04.598,0:33:07.546
It is the process of development

0:33:07.546,0:33:11.991
of the psychological change in the understanding of that

0:33:11.991,0:33:15.378
there is no reason to take such a step.

0:33:15.378,0:33:19.321
They literally trigger the death code in the brain

0:33:19.321,0:33:25.562
and the process as we see in Mr. Vassan, has started literally ten years ago.

0:33:25.562,0:33:28.345
It is something which is not gradual.

0:33:28.345,0:33:31.122
The first trigger comes at any stages of life,

0:33:31.122,0:33:35.314
and the second trigger happens when the second crisis comes.

0:33:35.314,0:33:39.332
And now we start understanding the process much better

0:33:39.332,0:33:48.719
and we see, more or less, the start of the reversal limit and the physical disability changes.

0:33:48.719,0:33:52.573
We have recorded the whole case from the beginning,

0:33:52.573,0:33:56.790
so the steps... we see changes in walking,

0:33:56.790,0:34:01.230
the drop foot has gone, the walking has changed,

0:34:01.230,0:34:06.134
we see changes in the arms on small stages.

0:34:06.134,0:34:11.895
So we today, we record the whole event, the process, by standards.

0:34:11.895,0:34:17.121
We are not taking any steps, we've done the same thing in Milan.

0:34:17.121,0:34:22.337
So, this is just for archives, and at the same time,

0:34:22.337,0:34:27.589
to show to the ALS community that there is a solution,

0:34:27.589,0:34:30.014
there is a new way to look at this disease,

0:34:30.014,0:34:33.385
and nobody should die from this disease any more.

0:34:33.385,0:34:38.520
I thank you for your time, and I hope we'll see a nice day today!

0:34:38.520,0:34:42.025
Thank you. I hope, this is the target of today.

0:34:42.025,0:34:44.737
Thank you. Thank you.

Due to restriction by the Company of the volunteer, all videos taken within

0:35:01.811,0:35:06.923
the offices of the company has been blocked. The Foundation does not understand

0:35:06.923,0:35:14.312
the purpose of this move in the celebrating the return of one of their workers back to work after years.

0:35:14.312,0:35:20.655
But due to legal papers which we had to sign for the company three weeks after recordings

0:35:20.655,0:35:25.667
we have to withhold the footage of these meetings, which was so wonderful, away from public.

0:35:25.667,0:35:28.821
We hope one day commonsense will prevail and we all share

0:35:28.821,0:35:32.434
these wonderful moments with each other and with the rest of the world.

0:35:32.434,0:35:34.069
Today is 6th of October 2013,

0:35:34.069,0:35:38.360
After the two surprise visits to my company,

0:35:38.360,0:35:47.325
beginning of August in Milan office, and beginning of September in Rome office,

0:35:47.325,0:35:50.113
I did it again, second time.

0:35:50.113,0:35:59.162
And in both cases it was in general much easier, and much normal, the approach.

0:35:59.162,0:36:08.908
So I had no big fears or worries to go there... simply a pleasure to live and

0:36:08.908,0:36:14.332
to go out and meet people, the others, my colleagues.

0:36:14.332,0:36:20.513
So, this was very nice. And even coming back,

0:36:20.513,0:36:26.671
the thinking was to the next appointment, next meeting.

0:36:26.671,0:36:31.386
So I decided with pleasure that, for example, I will go

0:36:31.386,0:36:37.623
once a month in Milan office, if not more. OK?

0:36:37.623,0:36:40.273
And also periodically to the Rome office.

0:36:40.273,0:36:46.095
In this case, logistics is more difficult, so I have to organise better.

0:36:46.095,0:36:51.510
But in general I noted that I'm thinking again

0:36:51.510,0:36:56.169
in terms of the future, not past or present situation.

0:36:56.169,0:37:04.961
All together, this result, what I achieved in the last couple of months,

0:37:04.961,0:37:10.915
for me was really unthinkable only three months ago. So, I mean in June.

0:37:10.915,0:37:16.784
This is unbelievable, unbelievable at this stage.

0:37:16.784,0:37:25.937
In other nice discovery I made is that all this activity, what I did, what I'm doing,

0:37:25.937,0:37:31.649
has an impact also on the others, for example, my colleagues.

0:37:31.649,0:37:39.568
I learned that at the end they don't care about my physical situation.

0:37:39.568,0:37:42.820
They are, of course, ready to help me...

0:37:42.820,0:37:50.162
and they are sorry, but this is not the main point. They don't care about this.

0:37:50.162,0:37:54.783
What really important seems to be my presence there

0:37:54.783,0:38:01.006
for the fact that I move, I travel just to go there to meet them,

0:38:01.006,0:38:05.401
and this is the important part,

0:38:05.401,0:38:10.187
and it's different than what I thought, completely different!

0:38:10.187,0:38:15.240
So, this awareness helps me again,

0:38:15.240,0:38:21.986
because this reduce a lot the psychological part of this illness.

0:38:21.986,0:38:25.944
This illness is composed of two parts, main parts...

0:38:25.944,0:38:31.100
One is physical: the daily difficulty to do things, simply.

0:38:31.100,0:38:36.922
The other part is psychological: this is the driver of the illness.

0:38:36.922,0:38:41.480
And we can summarize in one word: it's "Fear"!

0:38:41.480,0:38:50.913
Fear of the situation, fear of going out, fear of the others, what they could think and so on.

0:38:50.913,0:38:55.841
Reducing the fear is the most powerful part

0:38:55.841,0:38:59.430
and is, I think, an important step.

0:38:59.430,0:39:05.887
Indeed the evidence of today is that despite my physical condition

0:39:05.903,0:39:09.941
was much worse in the past, some years ago,

0:39:09.941,0:39:17.315
I'm now doing things that I never did, I never wanted to do,

0:39:17.315,0:39:22.526
even if when my physical condition was much better than now.

0:39:22.526,0:39:29.529
This is really surprising me a lot, because it's nonsense, it's not logical...

0:39:29.529,0:39:35.962
Now that I'm worst I'm doing more than when I was much better.

0:39:35.962,0:39:40.308
Another achievement, nice thing, in the last month,

0:39:40.339,0:39:43.713
was, from the physical point of view

0:39:43.728,0:39:46.881
but it's linked to the psychological part,

0:39:46.881,0:39:52.220
normally at the end of the day, late evening or at night time

0:39:52.220,0:39:55.682
with very low energy, so really weak,

0:39:55.698,0:39:58.875
and I have home stairs in my house

0:39:58.875,0:40:04.776
that is quite tough to do... it's kind of challenge every time.

0:40:04.776,0:40:09.459
Couple of times, I was able to did all set at night

0:40:09.474,0:40:18.557
later with some efforts, but it's kind of very unusual thing to just go upstairs,

0:40:18.557,0:40:21.819
and to spend some time with my children when they go to bed.

0:40:21.819,0:40:28.449
So this was wonderful for me, wonderful for them, and a big achievement.

0:40:28.449,0:40:39.203
So simply the wish to go upstairs. And all these facts together are,

0:40:39.218,0:40:45.994
as I said before, quite surprising, about this evolution.

0:40:46.010,0:40:54.286
Let's say, I feel positive, so these are positive feedback that helps a lot,

0:40:54.302,0:41:05.346
and I hope this will continue also in the future.
