10
00:00:59,423 --> 00:01:03,941
My name is Mehran Tavakoli Keshe, I´m a director of the Keshe Foundation.

11
00:01:03,941 --> 00:01:07,060
Keshe Foundation is a spaceship program

12
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:09,249
which is involved in plasma technology,

13
00:01:09,249 --> 00:01:13,747
and it has proven through different aspects of its development

14
00:01:13,747 --> 00:01:16,264
that energy and motion can be made

15
00:01:16,264 --> 00:01:19,621
from plasma in a very simple way.

16
00:01:19,621 --> 00:01:23,017
For years we've been asked how we have developed

17
00:01:23,017 --> 00:01:24,504
and taken our technology in plasma technology,

18
00:01:24,504 --> 00:01:29,914
which has to do with gravitational magnetic field of a system,

19
00:01:29,914 --> 00:01:32,449
into the Health section of the technology,

20
00:01:32,449 --> 00:01:37,933
and how we achieved so many different positive moves,

21
00:01:37,933 --> 00:01:42,224
and changing diseases, using the new plasma technology.

22
00:01:42,224 --> 00:01:45,100
For the first time, with this video

23
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:49,446
we open our doors to the world population,

24
00:01:49,446 --> 00:01:53,084
to look and see how a simple technology

25
00:01:53,084 --> 00:01:55,252
has changed the life of a man.

26
00:01:55,252 --> 00:01:57,754
At the same time, with this video

27
00:01:57,754 --> 00:02:00,293
we are releasing a paper for the first time,

28
00:02:00,293 --> 00:02:03,952
from the Health aspects of the technology of the Foundation

29
00:02:03,952 --> 00:02:09,568
and for the first time we allow the world's scientific,

30
00:02:09,568 --> 00:02:13,353
and the world population, to have a glimpse

31
00:02:13,353 --> 00:02:15,301
into one of the most secret and guarded

32
00:02:15,301 --> 00:02:17,930
technologies of the Keshe Foundation.

33
00:02:17,930 --> 00:02:21,509
We are opening our doors in response to the peace talks

34
00:02:21,509 --> 00:02:25,325
which is taking place, and at the same time

35
00:02:25,325 --> 00:02:27,235
ensuring that there is new development,

36
00:02:27,235 --> 00:02:31,056
in Health, in Energy and in Space.

37
00:02:31,056 --> 00:02:34,650
So, with this video we would like to show

38
00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:38,369
how a life of a man who has been sentenced to death,

39
00:02:38,369 --> 00:02:40,063
literally, by being told

40
00:02:40,063 --> 00:02:43,571
that he has a disease called ALS,

41
00:02:43,571 --> 00:02:45,583
and how he has changed his life

42
00:02:45,583 --> 00:02:51,922
using the system, from March to September of 2013.

43
00:02:51,922 --> 00:02:53,980
Most of the videos you will see

44
00:02:53,980 --> 00:02:59,242
is being made by him, and at the same time

45
00:02:59,242 --> 00:03:01,778
made during the processes we had with him,

46
00:03:01,778 --> 00:03:05,232
during the system development.

47
00:03:05,232 --> 00:03:07,940
We see how a man who barely could walk

48
00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:11,839
now he goes to work in Rome and in Milan (city)

49
00:03:11,839 --> 00:03:16,234
and at the same time he has been given a second chance

50
00:03:16,234 --> 00:03:19,696
he is getting part of his movement back.

51
00:03:19,696 --> 00:03:25,220
ALS is a death sentence when it is given to you by a doctor.

52
00:03:25,220 --> 00:03:26,830
The only thing is

53
00:03:26,830 --> 00:03:29,851
we do not know the time when it will be carried out.

54
00:03:29,851 --> 00:03:33,178
You end up being paralysed, then you can not speak,

55
00:03:33,178 --> 00:03:37,121
and usually followed by suffocation and death.

56
00:03:37,121 --> 00:03:40,278
For the first time we have developed the technology

57
00:03:40,278 --> 00:03:44,907
to be able to monitor and reverse this process.

58
00:03:44,907 --> 00:03:51,591
This gentlemen is very tied up with this disease.

59
00:03:51,591 --> 00:03:53,539
He can not do much,

60
00:03:53,539 --> 00:03:55,482
but now he's getting control of his arm back.

61
00:03:55,482 --> 00:03:58,643
He's getting control of his feet back.

62
00:03:58,643 --> 00:04:02,286
He's getting control of his work, in a way,

63
00:04:02,286 --> 00:04:04,337
being able to go to his office back.

64
00:04:04,337 --> 00:04:10,173
He's joining the society in a slow but sure way.

65
00:04:10,173 --> 00:04:17,572
This video is to show (that) now there is a solution for ALS.

66
00:04:17,572 --> 00:04:19,644
This is one of the final cases

67
00:04:19,644 --> 00:04:21,745
after we developed different systems

68
00:04:21,745 --> 00:04:23,948
for this disease and M.S.

69
00:04:23,948 --> 00:04:26,286
And we can say with certainty:

70
00:04:26,286 --> 00:04:30,461
"There is a way out of this disease".

71
00:04:30,461 --> 00:04:32,984
We welcome anyone who would like

72
00:04:32,984 --> 00:04:35,908
to talk to us about this disease,

73
00:04:35,908 --> 00:04:39,061
be it themselves being affected by it,

74
00:04:39,061 --> 00:04:41,600
or you are a member of organization or association

75
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,416
which is working with ALS.

76
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:45,362
Or you are a pharmaceutical,

77
00:04:45,362 --> 00:04:47,050
and you want to develop this technology

78
00:04:47,050 --> 00:04:48,854
further for the world population.

79
00:04:48,854 --> 00:04:53,156
Our doors are open and we welcome you for cooperation.

80
00:04:53,156 --> 00:04:54,888
The same as what we did for our Energy,

81
00:04:54,888 --> 00:04:56,756
and for our Space, with governments.

82
00:04:56,756 --> 00:05:00,112
And same as what we did with our World Peace Treaty.

83
00:05:00,112 --> 00:05:03,931
If you want to talk, contact us. Please go to:

84
00:05:03,931 --> 00:05:06,681
als@keshefoundation.com

85
00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:10,522
which we especially opened this line for this disease.

86
00:05:10,522 --> 00:05:16,204
Fill in the form and we will respond. It is very easy.

87
00:05:16,204 --> 00:05:18,571
There should not be a death sentence

88
00:05:18,571 --> 00:05:21,387
once you are told you have ALS,

89
00:05:21,387 --> 00:05:24,118
for the majority of the ALS cases.

90
00:05:24,118 --> 00:05:30,316
We have not found the solution for all of the aspects of different types of ALS,

91
00:05:30,316 --> 00:05:33,180
but at least we have opened the doorway.

92
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:35,679
WE WELCOME ANY HEALTH AUTHORITY OR ANY GOVERNMENT

93
00:05:35,679 --> 00:05:38,411
WHO WOULD LIKE TO LOOK INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

94
00:05:38,411 --> 00:05:41,856
OUR DOORS ARE OPEN TO YOU! We are not hiding anything,

95
00:05:41,856 --> 00:05:44,382
The same as we did not with our World Peace Treaty,

96
00:05:44,382 --> 00:05:47,363
and with our Energy, and the Space technology,

97
00:05:47,363 --> 00:05:50,330
We have shared them with the world population,

98
00:05:50,330 --> 00:05:52,110
now we're sharing our Health,

99
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:54,597
directly with the world population.

100
00:05:54,597 --> 00:05:56,326
Watch the video, I hope you enjoy

101
00:05:56,326 --> 00:05:58,075
and take pleasure as much as we did,

102
00:05:58,075 --> 00:05:59,660
seeing how the life of a man has changed

103
00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:04,216
without even taking any medicine. Thank you.

104
00:06:04,216 --> 00:07:27,202


105
00:07:27,202 --> 00:07:34,808
Today is 8th of September, 2013. We are in Rome

106
00:07:34,808 --> 00:07:39,424
and the purpose of this recording is to show

107
00:07:39,424 --> 00:07:44,452
that the disease known as ALS or known as "DESMA"

108
00:07:44,452 --> 00:07:47,176
can be stopped and reversed.

109
00:07:47,176 --> 00:07:52,332
And today we have a gentleman with us is Mr. Max Vassan,

110
00:07:52,332 --> 00:07:55,570
who has been through this process since March of this year (2013),

111
00:07:55,570 --> 00:08:00,712
and this gives us a springboard to bring

112
00:08:00,712 --> 00:08:07,273
this technology from the health aspects in respect to ALS

113
00:08:07,273 --> 00:08:13,838
into the mainstream medical applications for the Foundation.

114
00:08:13,838 --> 00:08:17,340
And I would like to ask, if you want to introduce yourself,

115
00:08:17,340 --> 00:08:21,805
about who you are, and how long you have ALS.

116
00:08:21,805 --> 00:08:24,975
My name is Maximiliano Vassan

117
00:08:24,975 --> 00:08:29,213
and I had the diagnosis

118
00:08:29,213 --> 00:08:35,126
for ALS. I received 6 years ago, it was 2007,

119
00:08:35,126 --> 00:08:40,067
and I'm 44 years old now, I was 38

120
00:08:40,067 --> 00:08:48,050
when I received this bad news and... that's it.

121
00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:54,295
How has been your position before you started

122
00:08:54,295 --> 00:08:57,295
this process with the Foundation?

123
00:08:57,295 --> 00:09:04,605
The position was: I was closing. I was stopping

124
00:09:04,605 --> 00:09:10,588
my life, more or less, not willing to go out.

125
00:09:10,588 --> 00:09:15,588
Not willing to meet people so it was a... a total closure.

126
00:09:15,588 --> 00:09:18,717
So, not only from the physical point of view

127
00:09:18,717 --> 00:09:21,797
but from the psychological point of view.

128
00:09:21,797 --> 00:09:27,587
So it was a kind of hopeless life,

129
00:09:27,587 --> 00:09:34,167
more or less, without any big expectation for the future.

130
00:09:34,167 --> 00:09:40,759
What was your condition when you started

131
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,687
this position, physically and mentally?

132
00:09:43,687 --> 00:09:46,669
Physically... let me say the biggest changes were not

133
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:52,186
from physical side..umm, (rather) the psychological side.

134
00:09:52,186 --> 00:10:00,582
I was afraid... I was afraid to go out,

135
00:10:00,582 --> 00:10:03,257
to live a normal life.

136
00:10:03,257 --> 00:10:06,390
So I believed that staying at home

137
00:10:06,390 --> 00:10:11,093
I could... something could have happened,

138
00:10:11,093 --> 00:10:14,795
and maybe to heal to recover...

139
00:10:14,795 --> 00:10:18,730
but now I guess this was bad thinking,

140
00:10:18,730 --> 00:10:23,263
because at the end the message was not of life,

141
00:10:23,263 --> 00:10:27,514
it was a message of death, closed at home,

142
00:10:27,514 --> 00:10:30,211
not going out with family, son and so on.

143
00:10:30,211 --> 00:10:34,622
And in the past my physical condition was,

144
00:10:34,622 --> 00:10:39,231
better before in the years, I mean,

145
00:10:39,231 --> 00:10:43,451
but from the Psychological point of view I was really, really closed.

146
00:10:43,451 --> 00:10:45,939
This is completely changed now.

147
00:10:45,939 --> 00:10:49,546
So this is the biggest change

148
00:10:49,546 --> 00:10:51,828
from the psychological point of view.

149
00:10:51,878 --> 00:10:57,732
The physicality, the physicality , the first signal I got recently.

150
00:10:57,732 --> 00:11:02,078
The big signal one week ago,

151
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:05,391
so part of the walking

152
00:11:05,391 --> 00:11:10,941
it is improved since we met five months ago.

153
00:11:10,941 --> 00:11:12,508
The rest is coming now,

154
00:11:12,508 --> 00:11:17,158
so it's first psychological point of view,

155
00:11:17,158 --> 00:11:23,518
these are most important, and then the physical now.

156
00:11:23,518 --> 00:11:25,936
When was the last time you came to Rome,

157
00:11:25,936 --> 00:11:28,522
where you worked, where you are going today?

158
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:36,110
I was here nearly one year ago, and it was for a job,

159
00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:41,207
so I had to come for some professional situation.

160
00:11:41,207 --> 00:11:46,880
And then I say: "I am not meant to come here in the future".

161
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:55,020
So wish was, "OK, maybe one day", but without really believing.

162
00:11:55,020 --> 00:11:59,923
So, now I'm here because... I'm here for no reasons,

163
00:11:59,923 --> 00:12:04,165
So, I'm here for a kind of holidays, let's put it.

164
00:12:04,165 --> 00:12:10,210
Because, I'm here because I want.

165
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:14,820
So, before I had yet to come for a reason,

166
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:19,856
now I'm here because I want.

167
00:12:19,856 --> 00:12:24,259
This life is slightly different, but internally is a big thing.

168
00:12:24,259 --> 00:12:29,146
When you were here last time, could you walk on your own? Or?

169
00:12:29,146 --> 00:12:35,252
No. Oh, maybe I could... but I didn't!

170
00:12:35,252 --> 00:12:39,259
So, I was walking hanging onto the shoulder of my wife.

171
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:42,582
because I was completely insecure.

172
00:12:42,582 --> 00:12:51,775
I was afraid at that time one year ago to go out... towards a pain.

173
00:12:51,775 --> 00:12:59,495
it was pain... not being like physical pain, but it was really difficult.

174
00:12:59,495 --> 00:13:05,930
I was afraid to go outside for my condition.

175
00:13:05,930 --> 00:13:13,432
So part of it was related to the risk to fall down to hurt myself,

176
00:13:13,432 --> 00:13:19,664
but also the rest was to meet the people in this condition.

177
00:13:19,664 --> 00:13:24,080
So I felt really uncomfortable to go out.

178
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,753
You started the process in March? Yes.

179
00:13:27,753 --> 00:13:34,354
When we saw you in the first meeting you could only walk

180
00:13:34,354 --> 00:13:38,293
with the help of your wife holding your shoulder? Yes, yes.

181
00:13:38,293 --> 00:13:43,099
At that time for me it was unthinkable to walk alone outside.

182
00:13:43,099 --> 00:13:47,971
I was doing that at home, but at home was easy.

183
00:13:47,971 --> 00:13:52,435
Outside, I completely needed the support of my wife

184
00:13:52,435 --> 00:13:58,304
to be sure, so it was a kind of "safe" for me.

185
00:13:58,304 --> 00:14:03,802
But now? Now? Now, every time she

186
00:14:03,802 --> 00:14:09,274
offers me the, not the shoulder but the arm, I say:

187
00:14:09,274 --> 00:14:15,312
"I don't want". So, I walk alone as much as I can.

188
00:14:15,312 --> 00:14:19,602
If I see any obstacles on the steps and so on,

189
00:14:19,602 --> 00:14:23,423
and I'm not gonna say, it's stupid, I don't want to fall down,

190
00:14:23,423 --> 00:14:29,088
so i ask for help, but only in the situation where I need it.

191
00:14:29,088 --> 00:14:32,080
You work at home upstairs? Yes.

192
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,896
On the second floor? Yes.

193
00:14:33,896 --> 00:14:37,330
How has that situation changed there?

194
00:14:37,330 --> 00:14:40,764


195
00:14:40,764 --> 00:14:44,198
I have these steps... it is quite tough because the steps are high.

196
00:14:44,198 --> 00:14:47,027
This is kind of measurement for me.

197
00:14:47,027 --> 00:14:55,977
It means I can measure my carefulness everyday doing these steps.

198
00:14:55,977 --> 00:15:01,582
The situation I was used to when I started living in this house,

199
00:15:01,582 --> 00:15:05,925
it was OK... I was able to go without problem,

200
00:15:05,925 --> 00:15:10,820
but anything was worsening the situation, so more difficult.

201
00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:13,320
In the last month, even after the treatment

202
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:20,749
I had kind of, let's say, changes in a situation, so not improving.

203
00:15:20,749 --> 00:15:29,494
Last week, as you know, was kind of a bad week where I reached the limit.

204
00:15:29,494 --> 00:15:33,785
It means immediately, I was not able to do these stairs.

205
00:15:33,785 --> 00:15:37,240
It was a kind of shock. I was afraid that day.

206
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:46,470
But then I understood that it was only from the mental point of view, I was afraid!

207
00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:54,069
The week after, I mean last week, I had experienced a completely new situation.

208
00:15:54,069 --> 00:16:00,329
It means, everyday from Monday to Friday, I was stronger

209
00:16:00,329 --> 00:16:04,224
and lifting the arms stronger, but much stronger.

210
00:16:04,224 --> 00:16:08,234
And every day was better than the previous.

211
00:16:08,234 --> 00:16:11,587
This happened from Monday to Friday.

212
00:16:11,587 --> 00:16:17,564
This never happened in 6 years! Yes.

213
00:16:17,564 --> 00:16:21,931
So you have some control of your arms and walking? Yes.

214
00:16:21,931 --> 00:16:27,271
I started to have control on the right arm.

215
00:16:27,271 --> 00:16:31,779
On the left I can not lift so I'm very weak,

216
00:16:31,779 --> 00:16:37,060
but let's say I started very light control of shoulder.

217
00:16:37,060 --> 00:16:40,788
It means it's not enough to move to rise,

218
00:16:40,788 --> 00:16:48,103
but if I lie on the bed with arms, let's say on the high side,

219
00:16:48,103 --> 00:16:52,332
the left is going falling down because gravity so I cannot control.

220
00:16:52,332 --> 00:16:54,673
the right I can control a little bit.

221
00:16:54,673 --> 00:16:56,981
So I brake it when is falling down.

222
00:16:56,981 --> 00:16:59,209
This you couldn't do before? No.

223
00:16:59,209 --> 00:17:05,169
This I discover by chance same week of August last,

224
00:17:05,169 --> 00:17:12,827
because I was expecting during the movement this arm falling down

225
00:17:12,827 --> 00:17:16,419
and that, unconsciously, I was controlling.

226
00:17:16,419 --> 00:17:21,848
So, that's why I recognized there is something strange, it's not normal.

227
00:17:21,848 --> 00:17:30,720
And then after that day, this control stays up to present.

228
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,143
Some days it is better, let's say, some days a little bit worse,

229
00:17:36,143 --> 00:17:41,404
but this control is present up to date.

230
00:17:41,404 --> 00:17:46,733
And you are walking? The walk you do?

231
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:54,523
The walking is a tricky point, because, I improved.

232
00:17:54,523 --> 00:17:58,858
Because one year ago I was walking, only with my wife.

233
00:17:58,858 --> 00:18:02,501
Now I walk as much as I can alone,

234
00:18:02,501 --> 00:18:06,322
so I don't want a support.

235
00:18:06,322 --> 00:18:09,931
Some days I walk much better than others.

236
00:18:09,931 --> 00:18:15,026
I started to walk also on the ground and grass.

237
00:18:15,026 --> 00:18:22,929
I mean difficult paths, and this has changed.

238
00:18:22,929 --> 00:18:30,897
The problem of walking is that for me is it's so, let's say,

239
00:18:30,897 --> 00:18:39,525
minimal changes day by day that it's difficult for me to recognize the changes.

240
00:18:39,525 --> 00:18:47,519
So others told me: "Look, you are walking in a different way".

241
00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:51,181
So it was difficult for me to believe that I was walking differently.

242
00:18:51,181 --> 00:18:57,901
But looking at my first video, and remembering how I was walking one year ago.

243
00:18:57,901 --> 00:19:00,704
I must say I walk in a different way.

244
00:19:00,704 --> 00:19:06,525
So I compare to my previous situation when I was running and doing everything,

245
00:19:06,525 --> 00:19:09,791
so if you compare to this you are deluded,

246
00:19:09,791 --> 00:19:13,855
but compare to one year ago... now I'm walking!

247
00:19:13,855 --> 00:19:18,946
I don't have any big slant or big autonomy really,

248
00:19:18,946 --> 00:19:23,822
but walking is different for sure... and it's better.

249
00:19:23,822 --> 00:19:26,275
Your son made a comment about your walking?

250
00:19:26,275 --> 00:19:30,320
Yes, my son, my son, my own son...

251
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:37,923
it was a day when I was supposed to be tired, the weekend tired.

252
00:19:37,923 --> 00:19:46,729
and I was feeling myself bad going after from the car,

253
00:19:46,729 --> 00:19:53,734
normally when I sit for a long time, I'm tired.

254
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:58,078
I said OK, I need some time to sit up.

255
00:19:58,078 --> 00:20:05,885
And my son who was behind me said, and the sentence was like:

256
00:20:05,885 --> 00:20:13,794
"Dad, to be without muscles or to be a ill man, you walk fast!"

257
00:20:13,794 --> 00:20:17,765
I said: "Why? Why you said that?".

258
00:20:17,765 --> 00:20:21,055
So for me I was walking bad and slow,

259
00:20:21,055 --> 00:20:26,616
but, for my son I was walking fast.

260
00:20:26,616 --> 00:20:34,720
And my son see me every day. So my feeling was wrong.

261
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,025
That's why I said it's difficult.

262
00:20:38,025 --> 00:20:42,601
For the walking the best effects

263
00:20:42,601 --> 00:20:51,700
I see from the others. The people was looking at me in one, two, three weeks, one month.

264
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:57,656
For me it was the same, for people sometimes it is shock.

265
00:20:57,656 --> 00:21:04,848
Then I can't believe everybody is lying to me or so.

266
00:21:04,848 --> 00:21:08,675
That's why... the changes were so small,

267
00:21:08,675 --> 00:21:13,128
and alot of them sometimes for me it is difficult to believe.

268
00:21:13,128 --> 00:21:18,913
So I'm becoming used to the changes.

269
00:21:18,913 --> 00:21:25,137
But, yes, one year ago I was walking totally differently than now.

270
00:21:25,137 --> 00:21:32,531
Better? ... Better!! But then you started Interacting in society...

271
00:21:32,531 --> 00:21:35,970
Can you tell us what was that like?

272
00:21:35,970 --> 00:21:43,338
This was starting after a couple of months,

273
00:21:43,338 --> 00:21:48,178
Yes, after the start of the treatment.

274
00:21:48,178 --> 00:21:54,656
And this was the one of the most important changes and the first to come.

275
00:21:54,656 --> 00:21:57,833
So, the psychological point of view, as I told you.

276
00:21:57,833 --> 00:22:05,303
Before I was not simply willing to meet the people,

277
00:22:05,303 --> 00:22:11,451
friends, parents or people that are part of our life...

278
00:22:11,451 --> 00:22:18,200
simply taking children to school and so on and so on, and other families.

279
00:22:18,284 --> 00:22:21,674
As I told you I preferred staying at home, alone,

280
00:22:21,674 --> 00:22:27,432
and I feel safe. It was at home I feel safe.

281
00:22:27,432 --> 00:22:31,402
And my family can go out and enjoy and so on,

282
00:22:31,402 --> 00:22:35,358
but at the end this was not good. So I started it.

283
00:22:35,358 --> 00:22:40,448
How long did you do this for? ... Years. About 3, 4 years?

284
00:22:40,448 --> 00:22:49,964
Yes, go t on this. So I probably closed any intellectual activities

285
00:22:49,964 --> 00:22:53,610
because I felt uncomfortable doing these.

286
00:22:53,610 --> 00:22:56,537
So what happened? Then the first step...

287
00:22:56,537 --> 00:23:02,772
The beginning was kind of a challenge, a big conflict inside.

288
00:23:02,772 --> 00:23:08,846
So, I accepted to do something that I never did before.

289
00:23:08,846 --> 00:23:13,743
So to meet the people directly.

290
00:23:13,743 --> 00:23:19,196
For years I refused to meet in a specific situation:

291
00:23:19,196 --> 00:23:24,039
parties, or a dinner, or social events.

292
00:23:24,039 --> 00:23:33,803
The beginning was a big conflict, I do, I don't do, and so on.

293
00:23:33,803 --> 00:23:40,473
But I did it. Then, continued treatment and passing the time,

294
00:23:40,473 --> 00:23:48,974
the wish to meet the people, to go out, was stronger and stronger and stronger.

295
00:23:48,974 --> 00:23:55,316
So, from one social activity became two, three and four.

296
00:23:55,316 --> 00:24:06,222
And if before it was a pain, a fear about situation, about the reality,

297
00:24:06,222 --> 00:24:12,290
at the end, it became not.

298
00:24:12,290 --> 00:24:19,340
So, the fear was much weaker compared to the wish to go out.

299
00:24:19,340 --> 00:24:25,090
And I reached the point this summer, in August,

300
00:24:25,090 --> 00:24:30,756
that I met all these people without any,

301
00:24:30,756 --> 00:24:38,352
without care about what they could think about me, and so on.

302
00:24:38,352 --> 00:24:40,634
Can you tell us the situations?

303
00:24:40,634 --> 00:24:46,725
The situation was, it was middle of August, in Italy,

304
00:24:46,725 --> 00:24:53,290
and they invited some gentlemen of school company of my son,

305
00:24:53,290 --> 00:24:58,637
invited us in the countryside, for a BBQ.

306
00:24:58,637 --> 00:25:04,206
Countryside for me means immediately difficulties,

307
00:25:04,206 --> 00:25:07,572
and also their house, to reach the house,

308
00:25:07,572 --> 00:25:12,228
there are hundreds of steps and long houses' steps.

309
00:25:12,228 --> 00:25:15,023
For me in that moment it was impossible.

310
00:25:15,023 --> 00:25:19,017
But now in the rest of it, OK, let's walk at least,

311
00:25:19,017 --> 00:25:25,418
and I will see the situation,

312
00:25:25,418 --> 00:25:29,783
so, I said: "First, let's go there... and then let's see what happens".

313
00:25:29,783 --> 00:25:31,613
At the end, it was wonderful day.

314
00:25:31,613 --> 00:25:35,608
So, I was able to walk in spite of

315
00:25:35,608 --> 00:25:38,050
the ground... it was not easy.

316
00:25:38,050 --> 00:25:45,654
We spent the day between friends, eating, drinking, laughing.

317
00:25:45,654 --> 00:25:51,264
So, it was normal, very normal, the children were playing...

318
00:25:51,264 --> 00:25:56,373
So, I was very surprised.

319
00:25:56,373 --> 00:26:03,215
People doesn't care about me completely.

320
00:26:03,215 --> 00:26:06,290
So, after, let's say, a few minutes,

321
00:26:06,290 --> 00:26:12,536
I felt like normal. completely normal, in spite of all my difficulties.

322
00:26:12,536 --> 00:26:16,353
Would you have done this last year?

323
00:26:16,353 --> 00:26:28,132
No. All these social situation I have made since I started the treatment.

324
00:26:28,132 --> 00:26:30,529
I would have never done before.

325
00:26:30,529 --> 00:26:34,506
So you meet these situations personally. Yes. Yes.

326
00:26:34,506 --> 00:26:39,103
And, would you have done that? No.

327
00:26:39,103 --> 00:26:43,277
I avoided in the past, all these situations.

328
00:26:43,277 --> 00:26:46,254
An easy example:

329
00:26:46,254 --> 00:26:51,626
Every Friday, my son in summer time goes to summer camp.

330
00:26:51,626 --> 00:26:55,862
And they organise every Friday, at the end of the week,

331
00:26:55,862 --> 00:27:03,556
a small spectacle for the parents... they are going there since 3 years minimum.

332
00:27:03,556 --> 00:27:06,741
I never attended to any of this one.

333
00:27:06,741 --> 00:27:09,147
Because of your illness? Yes.

334
00:27:09,147 --> 00:27:17,834
But the funny thing is that in the past my physical situation was much better

335
00:27:17,834 --> 00:27:21,967
than now 2, 3 years ago, but I didn't know.

336
00:27:21,967 --> 00:27:28,761
Now I attended, I attended to all the spectacles,

337
00:27:28,761 --> 00:27:32,608
and I'm still alive, I enjoy.

338
00:27:32,608 --> 00:27:40,034
And the funny thing is that my son again, saying, told me:

339
00:27:40,034 --> 00:27:43,528
"Why you didn't attend in the past?"

340
00:27:43,528 --> 00:27:49,621
And I couldn't answer, because he said:

341
00:27:49,621 --> 00:27:54,304
"If you can come now when you are not in a wonderful situation,

342
00:27:54,304 --> 00:27:58,602
why you didn't come in the past, when you were much better?"

343
00:27:58,602 --> 00:28:01,179
I had no answer!

344
00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:03,336
When you see the first change?

345
00:28:03,336 --> 00:28:08,845
One week, two weeks, three weeks after you started?

346
00:28:08,845 --> 00:28:12,731
I think after some weeks let's say, between two.

347
00:28:12,731 --> 00:28:20,626
In the first answer, I started to see some psychological changes,

348
00:28:20,626 --> 00:28:24,471
yes, in one month more or less.

349
00:28:24,471 --> 00:28:30,114
What do you think the future holds for you now?

350
00:28:30,114 --> 00:28:37,723
First of all I started again to think of the future... which is a good point.

351
00:28:37,723 --> 00:28:49,044
Looking at these changes it seems to me that I started a new road,

352
00:28:49,044 --> 00:28:53,708
that I can not stop on, so, I tried to making the office,

353
00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:55,942
going out with friends and so on.

354
00:28:55,942 --> 00:29:02,024
And, I don't want to stop,

355
00:29:02,024 --> 00:29:08,760
So, my thinking now is that it was stupid, my behavior before.

356
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:14,170
I am wondering why it was that way...

357
00:29:14,170 --> 00:29:20,000
now it seams strange what I did in the past.

358
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,849
You've been back to your office in Milan, one month or four weeks ago?

359
00:29:24,849 --> 00:29:26,926
Yes, one month ago exactly.

360
00:29:26,926 --> 00:29:35,048
This office I opened, personally, 15 years ago.

361
00:29:35,048 --> 00:29:39,738
Then we changed the building but I never visited this office..

362
00:29:39,738 --> 00:29:42,458
When was last time you were in there?

363
00:29:42,458 --> 00:29:45,456
In this building I've been never.

364
00:29:45,456 --> 00:29:54,762
I was in the previous building, but last time was 2008 I guess.

365
00:29:54,762 --> 00:30:02,626
I stopped to go to the office in Milan, also because I was working in Rome,

366
00:30:02,626 --> 00:30:07,567
so I stopped to go there, so it was very long time.

367
00:30:07,567 --> 00:30:12,879
This was a new office opened two years ago, and I've never been there.

368
00:30:12,879 --> 00:30:24,054
In August, it was the beginning of August, I was back to Milan meeting these guys and looking at the new office.

369
00:30:24,054 --> 00:30:34,058
It was very nice because, let's say, I left Milan many years ago.

370
00:30:34,058 --> 00:30:37,987
Strange thing was that, when I was there, even new office,

371
00:30:37,987 --> 00:30:46,423
I was feeling was like I was working there since forever.

372
00:30:46,423 --> 00:30:50,623
I had no bad feeling, oh my God, it's many years,

373
00:30:50,623 --> 00:30:53,590
that I'm not here, and people will look at me strange.

374
00:30:53,590 --> 00:30:56,860
I felt completely normal.

375
00:30:56,860 --> 00:30:58,912
Are you going back?

376
00:30:58,912 --> 00:31:00,784
Yes, in the end of this month.

377
00:31:00,784 --> 00:31:07,993
I already fixed it, and every month I'm going in the Milan office.

378
00:31:07,993 --> 00:31:12,919
Do you see yourself going back to work normal, in the future?

379
00:31:12,919 --> 00:31:15,408
This is without, doubt, absolutely.

380
00:31:15,408 --> 00:31:20,461
So today you are going to see your colleagues more or less for the first time?

381
00:31:20,461 --> 00:31:28,081
Yes, these colleagues in Rome that for nearly one year that I didn't meet,

382
00:31:28,081 --> 00:31:32,452
and they don't know anything about this... this treatment I'm doing.

383
00:31:32,452 --> 00:31:39,679
So, I kept reserved, only 2 or 3 people know,

384
00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:44,311
and even they don't know anything about that I'm here in this moment.

385
00:31:44,311 --> 00:31:50,794
So, we are going to the company, and it would be totally shocking to many people.

386
00:31:50,794 --> 00:31:54,992
So, I don't know the reaction that they will have.

387
00:31:54,992 --> 00:31:57,834
Are you coming back to work in Rome?

388
00:31:57,834 --> 00:32:00,597
Yes this is my target.

389
00:32:00,597 --> 00:32:04,578
One of the things which is important to understand

390
00:32:04,578 --> 00:32:08,264
by the work of research of Foundation,

391
00:32:08,264 --> 00:32:12,743
is we call ALS "the death wish that comes true",

392
00:32:12,743 --> 00:32:17,628
which means that psychologically, through certain reasons,

393
00:32:17,628 --> 00:32:24,590
the individual sets off a certain kind of process which terminates the life.

394
00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:28,289
This termination of life means they can

395
00:32:28,289 --> 00:32:35,842
escape from the problems of \what they are facing.

396
00:32:35,842 --> 00:32:38,860
Some people chose hanging by suicide.

397
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:42,533
Some people choose different methods of ending life.

398
00:32:42,533 --> 00:32:47,623
But, ALS in fact is the same process,

399
00:32:47,623 --> 00:32:52,258
but starts with a process of psychological double trigger,

400
00:32:52,258 --> 00:32:55,250
of which we understand the process.

401
00:32:55,250 --> 00:33:01,185
And this psychological change, which then afterwards becomes a physical change...

402
00:33:01,185 --> 00:33:04,598
As we see the arm is coming back, and the walking has changed.

403
00:33:04,598 --> 00:33:07,546
It is the process of development

404
00:33:07,546 --> 00:33:11,991
of the psychological change in the understanding of that

405
00:33:11,991 --> 00:33:15,378
there is no reason to take such a step.

406
00:33:15,378 --> 00:33:19,321
They literally trigger the death code in the brain

407
00:33:19,321 --> 00:33:25,562
and the process as we see in Mr. Vassan, has started literally ten years ago.

408
00:33:25,562 --> 00:33:28,345
It is something which is not gradual.

409
00:33:28,345 --> 00:33:31,122
The first trigger comes at any stages of life,

410
00:33:31,122 --> 00:33:35,314
and the second trigger happens when the second crisis comes.

411
00:33:35,314 --> 00:33:39,332
And now we start understanding the process much better

412
00:33:39,332 --> 00:33:48,719
and we see, more or less, the start of the reversal limit and the physical disability changes.

413
00:33:48,719 --> 00:33:52,573
We have recorded the whole case from the beginning,

414
00:33:52,573 --> 00:33:56,790
so the steps... we see changes in walking,

415
00:33:56,790 --> 00:34:01,230
the drop foot has gone, the walking has changed,

416
00:34:01,230 --> 00:34:06,134
we see changes in the arms on small stages.

417
00:34:06,134 --> 00:34:11,895
So we today, we record the whole event, the process, by standards.

418
00:34:11,895 --> 00:34:17,121
We are not taking any steps, we've done the same thing in Milan.

419
00:34:17,121 --> 00:34:22,337
So, this is just for archives, and at the same time,

420
00:34:22,337 --> 00:34:27,589
to show to the ALS community that there is a solution,

421
00:34:27,589 --> 00:34:30,014
there is a new way to look at this disease,

422
00:34:30,014 --> 00:34:33,385
and nobody should die from this disease any more.

423
00:34:33,385 --> 00:34:38,520
I thank you for your time, and I hope we'll see a nice day today!

424
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,025
Thank you. I hope, this is the target of today.

425
00:34:42,025 --> 00:34:44,737
Thank you. Thank you.

426
00:34:44,737 --> 00:34:54,619


427
00:34:54,619 --> 00:35:01,811
Due to restriction by the Company of the volunteer, all videos taken within

428
00:35:01,811 --> 00:35:06,923
the offices of the company has been blocked. The Foundation does not understand

429
00:35:06,923 --> 00:35:14,312
the purpose of this move in the celebrating the return of one of their workers back to work after years.

430
00:35:14,312 --> 00:35:20,655
But due to legal papers which we had to sign for the company three weeks after recordings

431
00:35:20,655 --> 00:35:25,667
we have to withhold the footage of these meetings, which was so wonderful, away from public.

432
00:35:25,667 --> 00:35:28,821
We hope one day commonsense will prevail and we all share

433
00:35:28,821 --> 00:35:32,434
these wonderful moments with each other and with the rest of the world.

434
00:35:32,434 --> 00:35:34,069
Today is 6th of October 2013,

435
00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:38,360
After the two surprise visits to my company,

436
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:47,325
beginning of August in Milan office, and beginning of September in Rome office,

437
00:35:47,325 --> 00:35:50,113
I did it again, second time.

438
00:35:50,113 --> 00:35:59,162
And in both cases it was in general much easier, and much normal, the approach.

439
00:35:59,162 --> 00:36:08,908
So I had no big fears or worries to go there... simply a pleasure to live and

440
00:36:08,908 --> 00:36:14,332
to go out and meet people, the others, my colleagues.

441
00:36:14,332 --> 00:36:20,513
So, this was very nice. And even coming back,

442
00:36:20,513 --> 00:36:26,671
the thinking was to the next appointment, next meeting.

443
00:36:26,671 --> 00:36:31,386
So I decided with pleasure that, for example, I will go

444
00:36:31,386 --> 00:36:37,623
once a month in Milan office, if not more. OK?

445
00:36:37,623 --> 00:36:40,273
And also periodically to the Rome office.

446
00:36:40,273 --> 00:36:46,095
In this case, logistics is more difficult, so I have to organise better.

447
00:36:46,095 --> 00:36:51,510
But in general I noted that I'm thinking again

448
00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:56,169
in terms of the future, not past or present situation.

449
00:36:56,169 --> 00:37:04,961
All together, this result, what I achieved in the last couple of months,

450
00:37:04,961 --> 00:37:10,915
for me was really unthinkable only three months ago. So, I mean in June.

451
00:37:10,915 --> 00:37:16,784
This is unbelievable, unbelievable at this stage.

452
00:37:16,784 --> 00:37:25,937
In other nice discovery I made is that all this activity, what I did, what I'm doing,

453
00:37:25,937 --> 00:37:31,649
has an impact also on the others, for example, my colleagues.

454
00:37:31,649 --> 00:37:39,568
I learned that at the end they don't care about my physical situation.

455
00:37:39,568 --> 00:37:42,820
They are, of course, ready to help me...

456
00:37:42,820 --> 00:37:50,162
and they are sorry, but this is not the main point. They don't care about this.

457
00:37:50,162 --> 00:37:54,783
What really important seems to be my presence there

458
00:37:54,783 --> 00:38:01,006
for the fact that I move, I travel just to go there to meet them,

459
00:38:01,006 --> 00:38:05,401
and this is the important part,

460
00:38:05,401 --> 00:38:10,187
and it's different than what I thought, completely different!

461
00:38:10,187 --> 00:38:15,240
So, this awareness helps me again,

462
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:21,986
because this reduce a lot the psychological part of this illness.

463
00:38:21,986 --> 00:38:25,944
This illness is composed of two parts, main parts...

464
00:38:25,944 --> 00:38:31,100
One is physical: the daily difficulty to do things, simply.

465
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:36,922
The other part is psychological: this is the driver of the illness.

466
00:38:36,922 --> 00:38:41,480
And we can summarize in one word: it's "Fear"!

467
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:50,913
Fear of the situation, fear of going out, fear of the others, what they could think and so on.

468
00:38:50,913 --> 00:38:55,841
Reducing the fear is the most powerful part

469
00:38:55,841 --> 00:38:59,430
and is, I think, an important step.

470
00:38:59,430 --> 00:39:05,887
Indeed the evidence of today is that despite my physical condition

471
00:39:05,903 --> 00:39:09,941
was much worse in the past, some years ago,

472
00:39:09,941 --> 00:39:17,315
I'm now doing things that I never did, I never wanted to do,

473
00:39:17,315 --> 00:39:22,526
even if when my physical condition was much better than now.

474
00:39:22,526 --> 00:39:29,529
This is really surprising me a lot, because it's nonsense, it's not logical...

475
00:39:29,529 --> 00:39:35,962
Now that I'm worst I'm doing more than when I was much better.

476
00:39:35,962 --> 00:39:40,308
Another achievement, nice thing, in the last month,

477
00:39:40,339 --> 00:39:43,713
was, from the physical point of view

478
00:39:43,728 --> 00:39:46,881
but it's linked to the psychological part,

479
00:39:46,881 --> 00:39:52,220
normally at the end of the day, late evening or at night time

480
00:39:52,220 --> 00:39:55,682
with very low energy, so really weak,

481
00:39:55,698 --> 00:39:58,875
and I have home stairs in my house

482
00:39:58,875 --> 00:40:04,776
that is quite tough to do... it's kind of challenge every time.

483
00:40:04,776 --> 00:40:09,459
Couple of times, I was able to did all set at night

484
00:40:09,474 --> 00:40:18,557
later with some efforts, but it's kind of very unusual thing to just go upstairs,

485
00:40:18,557 --> 00:40:21,819
and to spend some time with my children when they go to bed.

486
00:40:21,819 --> 00:40:28,449
So this was wonderful for me, wonderful for them, and a big achievement.

487
00:40:28,449 --> 00:40:39,203
So simply the wish to go upstairs. And all these facts together are,

488
00:40:39,218 --> 00:40:45,994
as I said before, quite surprising, about this evolution.

489
00:40:46,010 --> 00:40:54,286
Let's say, I feel positive, so these are positive feedback that helps a lot,

490
00:40:54,302 --> 00:41:05,346
and I hope this will continue also in the future.

491
00:41:05,376 --> 00:41:12,088
This story to be continued

492
00:41:12,088 --> 00:41:18,341
with future videos

493
00:41:18,341 --> 00:41:26,550
from this volunteer.
