Possible MS cure also

Pretty simple... Can't believe no one else said "lets clean out the blood vessels"...

Italian doctor may have found surprisingly simple cure for Multiple Sclerosis

Pretty incredible how often times the simplest answer is the right one. Hopefully they'll continue researching this more.

he's clearing brains AND ice now?

Wow, thank you for sharing this, Mike. I can't even type about this subject without tearing up at my desk, so I won't try.

Ugh, unfortunately that article is old.

The MS Society is still on it though, funding research.

Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) : National MS Society

Ya this is old news...currently there are trials being funded by our federal government, and I believe the province of Saskatchewan as well (I'll have to check that one). The issue to determine is if it is really a cause and effect, or if the clogging is simply a byproduct or odd coincidence.

Its obviously older but its sounding very promising as a treatment and they are in more trials(1500 people now). I didn't know it, no clue this was even in the works. Just a fyi post. I saw it along side the engine article and didn't appear fake. Hope its not fake...

I didn't either. Like I said, thanks for posting this. I forwarded it and a couple related links to my family.

Nope its not fake, and it caused quite a stir because while some cardiologists were really buying it, a lot of neurologists flipped out at the suggestion (MS had generally been considered an autoimmune disorder).

There's plenty of good research out there on simple ideas (such as using DCA to treat cancer : DCA Research Information), but we just don't know how well it will fare in trials until they get past stage 3.

Assuming the larger sample-size testing goes well, how long until this could potentially be part of the recommended treatment for MS?
