Italian doctor may have found surprisingly simple cure for Multiple Sclerosis
more. faster. please.
this could help millions of people …
An Italian doctor has been getting dramatic results with a new type of treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, which affects up to 2.5 million people worldwide. In an initial study, Dr. Paolo Zamboni took 65 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, performed a simple operation to unblock restricted bloodflow out of the brain – and two years after the surgery, 73% of the patients had no symptoms. Dr. Zamboni’s thinking could turn the current understanding of MS on its head, and offer many sufferers a complete cure.
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, has long been regarded as a life sentence of debilitating nerve degeneration. More common in females, the disease affects an estimated 2.5 million people around the world, causing physical and mental disabilities that can gradually destroy a patient’s quality of life.
t’s generally accepted that there’s no cure for MS, only treatments that mitigate the symptoms – but a new way of looking at the disease has opened the door to a simple treatment that is causing radical improvements in a small sample of sufferers.
Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni has put forward the idea that many types of MS are actually caused by a blockage of the pathways that remove excess iron from the brain – and by simply clearing out a couple of major veins to reopen the blood flow, the root cause of the disease can be eliminated.
Dr. Zamboni’s revelations came as part of a very personal mission – to cure his wife as she began a downward spiral after diagnosis. Reading everything he could on the subject, Dr. Zamboni found a number of century-old sources citing excess iron as a possible cause of MS. It happened to dovetail with some research he had been doing previously on how a buildup of iron can damage blood vessels in the legs – could it be that a buildup of iron was somehow damaging blood vessels in the brain?
He immediately took to the ultrasound machine to see if the idea had any merit – and made a staggering discovery. More than 90% of people with MS have some sort of malformation or blockage in the veins that drain blood from the brain. Including, as it turned out, his wife.
He formed a hypothesis on how this could lead to MS: iron builds up in the brain, blocking and damaging these crucial blood vessels. As the vessels rupture, they allow both the iron itself, and immune cells from the bloodstream, to cross the blood-brain barrier into the cerebro-spinal fluid. Once the immune cells have direct access to the immune system, they begin to attack the myelin sheathing of the cerebral nerves – Multiple Sclerosis develops.
He named the problem Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency, or CCSVI.
Zamboni immediately scheduled his wife for a simple operation to unblock the veins – a catheter was threaded up through blood vessels in the groin area, all the way up to the effected area, and then a small balloon was inflated to clear out the blockage. It’s a standard and relatively risk-free operation – and the results were immediate. In the three years since the surgery, Dr. Zamboni’s wife has not had an attack.

While ms patients do have excess iron in certain parts of the brain, you cannot just drain it out! Either the cells die from accumulated iron, or the dying cells leave iron behind, they don't know yet. No reports of this in any journals, and my mom suffered 30 years from ms, so i keep up with the research. I wish it were true 
Sadly. Another scam just like the rest of the "treatments" out there I am very sorry to have to write as I, yes I, know this crap disease only too well. 
No way to stop it from getting there.
Nice to see you again. 
Lonely journey isn't it?
Be unethical and maybe against the law
Have noticed that the doctors RX'ing the various drugs really cater to the patients taking them. Money does talk!
Those that are not taking these drugs receive poor care at best.
A woman I know is getting those infusions and she relocated to another state and she needed that monthly infusion (that can cause a fatal brain diease btw). She called up a local neurologist and got right in (cannot get in here or a six month wait) and they hooked her up and infused her and said to her, "You aren't in any pain or anything are you honey?".
She does not have pain as a symptom (lucky her!) and told them no.
If you are not on one of these costly treatments, they simply give you no care or minimal care at best.
My new "doctor" is a nurse as no one would have me being I don't want the infusions or injections. However, I live in chronic pain but hey, that doesn't matter now does it "honey". 
What a sickening reality eh?
Heard the price of one of the other ones, Copaxone, has doubled and then some this past year. Infusions of Tysabri (yet another one) costs $10K a month.
How do you make a go of it?
Best of luck is about all I can say. 
She's in a better place is what I'm always told.
I think there is a better place and yep, she is there.
She is no longer suffering so all is good eh?
again.
I'm 50 so I am not surprised since only 3% of MS patients are diagnosed after 40 and it progresses quickly. Hopefully I'll get in!
