CCSVI False Dawns

There have been many false dawns in MS research over the years and it still remains the most enigmatic disease of out time.

CCSVI needs to be confirmed by other researchers as too many people have fallen into the trap of bending their results to fit their theory, It would be interesting to know how the levels of obstruction correlated with the clinical findings in the individuals. What is also need is a longitudinal study to ascertain what happens to individuals with obstruction but who at the moment have no disease.

It is important to know whether these findings, if confirmed are a cause and not a result of the disease. The question will then be how to actually treat these obstructions!

Symptom

Researchers are now all excited about MS being a vascular problem and with this I disagree; the vascular block is a symptom of a much bigger problem.

Picture this scenario

People in a town get all excited about houses burning down so they spend a lot of time and effort installing sprinkler systems in every house. What they really should be looking for is the pyromaniac who is torching the houses.

I agree that there is a major problem with vascular block in MS patients which is starving the brain, accumulating toxins, causing fatigue and balance problems, optic disturbances, etc. (This is why Vibration Plate therapy is so important!) A stent is going to open a particular vessel and cause immediate (probably short term) relief but if they don't find out what caused the blockage in the first place they are not going to cure the patient of MS.

If you go back to my position paper I feel strongly - and this CCSVI research dovetails perfectly into the profile - that MS is pathogen-based and that the use of a stent is going to improve the patient's symptoms in two ways:

First - it corrects the immediate problem with blood flow which will improve O2, nutrients and waste disposal at a cellular level.
Second - the patient will be treated with antibiotics to assure that they don't pick up an infection from the procedure and that may well affect pathogenic load at least for a short time.

Depending on the patient's health profile, that may be enough improvement to allow the immune system to beat back the real disease. However, for patients with a heavy pathogen load it may only provide short term relief (like stem cells, HBOT, etc) before they are back where they started.

Even if you just look at the pictures in the 2nd article (2006StudyBDuttoniMiscarriageImpairedBloodFlow.PDF), the comparison views of the healthy mouse fetus vs infected mouse fetus says it all.

Venous related problems and MS theories are not recent, they have been considered since 1863 onwards. History

Stenting - an artificial 'tube' inserted into a natural passage/conduit in the body to prevent, or counteract, a disease-induced, localised flow constriction

Angioplasty - the technique of mechanically widening a narrowed or obstructed blood vessel. An empty and collapsed balloon on a guide wire, known as a balloon catheter, is passed into the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size using water pressures some 75 to 500 times normal blood pressure opening up the blood vessel to improved flow, the balloon is then collapsed and withdrawn.
