Study by Dr. Juan M. Dipp , Gelfix Surgery the Alternative for Spine Fusion Surgery

Dr. Juan M. Dipp, chief of Orthopedics at Del Prado Hospital in Tijuana Mexico, published along with other doctors a study about GelFix, a one-piece implant designed to provide distraction to the posterior column. GelFix is a bio compatible hydro gel, with unique mechanical properties. Implanted between the spinous processes through a small incision, GelFix acts as a dynamic spacer restricting painful motion without harming other movements of the spinal segment.

The GelFix system provides a more flexible distraction, in contrast to other more conventional rigid materials such as titanium or PEEK. GelFix increases the space between the spinous processes to maintain the flexing. This flexing increases the area of the neural foramen. The interspinous device is available in four sizes to fit the anatomy of each patient.

The hydrogel is a material that has the ability to expand by absorbing water, which gives it the ability to adapt and change in different forms when introduced into the body. With this function it mimics normal intervertebral disk. The disc is a flexible structure located between two vertebrae which allows movement of the spine. It comprises an outer portion, called the annulus, and an inner portion, called the core. It resembles the tire of a car with an external camera (annulus) and a soft interior contents (nucleus pulposus). The outer chamber or annulus has multiple layers intersecting each other.

Dr. Dipp’s study concludes that patients who received Gelfix interspinous spacers showed a significant reduction in pain six months after surgery has been performed, with no reported complications. 

Over 500 patients with spinal stenosis and low back pain were treated with GelFix. Studies led by Dr. Dipp of Almater Hospital are promising and they suggest that GelFix surgery and hydrogel implants will figure prominently in the continuum of care for spinal and back diseases.

  3. Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.for my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
    Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure.  I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com  WhatsApp: +2348149277967.  if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because really honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
