Elena Ravalli was a seemingly healthy 37-year-old when she began to experience strange attacks of vertigo, numbness, temporary vision loss and crushing fatigue. They were classic signs of multiple sclerosis, a potentially debilitating neurological disease.
It was 1995 and her husband, Paolo Zamboni, a professor of medicine at the University of Ferrara in Italy, set out to help. He was determined to solve the mystery of MS – an illness that strikes people in the prime of their lives but whose causes are unknown and whose effective treatments are few.
What he learned in his medical detective work, scouring dusty old books and using ultra-modern imaging techniques, could well turn what we know about MS on its head: Dr. Zamboni's research suggests that MS is not, as widely believed, an autoimmune condition, but a vascular disease.

Can’t be worse than the current outcome of treatment.
sounds like more ‘peer reviewed science’ getting debunked
Cheers!
I wonder if it is too late to help Jimmy Heuga, a former Olympic skier who was diagnosed with MS. Hope not!
Nice to read a story with a happy ending.
Kinda reminded me of Lorenzo’s Oil, which also had a medical labor of love that involved myelin.
That in itself should be enough to spur further research.
pushed to friends and encouraged them to do the same.
spreading the word on a potential cure is light years ahead of the ‘managed care’ solution they push on us now
This was a VERY interesting story. I emailed the link to a friend of mine who’s wife has MS and asked that they look into this if they have already not done so.
If nothing else, this treatment could help prevent strokes by detecting blockage in the veins.
Thank you for posting this story.
thanks, bfl
Having had a relative with MS and having ridden the MS City-to-Shore ten times, to me this is tremendous news. Please let this be true.
A cure for MS was published in 1973 by Dr, Fred Klenner, a Duke University Medical School graduate. In his paper Dr. Klenner had this to say:
“We categorically make this statement: Any victim of Multiple Sclerosis who will dramatically flush with the use of nicotinic acid, and who has not yet progressed to the stage of myelin degeneration, as witnessed by sustained ankle clonus elicited in the orthodox manner, can be cured with the adequate employment of Thiamin Hydrochloride and other factors of the Vitamin B Complex in conjunction with essential proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and injectable crude liver.”

Dr. Klenner was a: Fellow: The American College of Chest Physicians; Fellow & Diplomate: The International College of Applied Nutrition; Fellow: The American Association for the Advancment of Science; Fellow: The American College of Angiology; Fellow: The American Academy of Family Practice; Fellow: The Royal Society of Health (London); Fellow (Honorary): The International Academy of Preventive and Orthomolecular Medicine; Fellow: International College of Angiology; and Founder-Fellow: American Geriatrics Society.
I am hoping so as well. It sound like that if this is true then it might even arrest this disease in those who have suffered with it for many years.
Thank you for posting this. There has been little hope other than prolonging the onset of disability (or further disability) for years for people with MS. Any light, no matter how shuttered it may be, is enough to make tomorrow easier to deal with.
Bump
How so?
“But under obamacare the research would stop, no treatment would be
offered, to expensive, and the patient would just be let to die. “
But they will have access to medical marijuana.
Eric Holder, Obama and Sixty Senators would prefer a booming
medical marijuana industry...
to a pharmaceutical industry that actually generates real cures now
and then.
(I’m not knocking folks truly suffering to have access to pain relief.
But with today’s Administration, they are ready to enforce conditions
that will cause a lot of pharmaceutical research to wither on the vine.
Or to be done in other countries.)
