Can’t be worse than the current outcome of treatment.

Having worked with so many people with MS, I hope to heaven this is the answer. Something this simple would be downright stunning.

[sten]

sounds like more ‘peer reviewed science’ getting debunked

[grey_whiskers]

Like, *PING*, dude.

Cheers!

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.

[decimon]

In more than 90 per cent of people with multiple sclerosis, including his spouse, the veins draining blood from the brain were malformed or blocked.

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

[CapnJack]

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.

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.

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.

Intriguing new theory about MS

[Apple Blossom]

Fascinating. I hope this is tested and found to be successful on more people than just his wife.

[TChad]

In a group of 65 patients with relapsing-remitting MS (the most common form) who underwent surgery, the number of active lesions in the brain fell sharply, to 12 per cent from 50 per cent; in the two years after surgery, 73 per cent of patients had no symptoms.

If this was a good study, very impressive.

This reminds me of the story of ulcers. An Australian doctor Dr. Barry Marshall found that a germ was causing ulcers. It was so contrary to the perceived wisdom of the time and he was so opposed he started calling them the "Acid Mafia". He was eventually proved right. Perhaps we have an "MS mafia" effect here.

[TChad]

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.

This reminded me of Richard Feynman's advice to young physicists at CERN, encouraging them to follow their own paths:

"The chance is high that the truth lies in the fashionable direction. But, on the off-chance that it is in another direction... who will find it?"

"...If you give more money to theoretical physics," he added, "it doesn't do any good if it just increases the number of guys following the comet head. So it's necessary to increase the amount of variety...and the only way to do it is to implore you few guys to take a risk with your lives that you will never be heard of again, and go off in the wild blue yonder and see if you can figure it out."
