Delaying New MS treatment is insane!
An alternate explanation -- and the first cure -- for MS, Multiple Sclerosis, discovered by Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni, is awaiting more ‘clinical trials’ in Canada and the U.S. before being accepted by our medical establishment. (See Globe and Mail, July 29, 2010, front page.)
In a nutshell, the new theory believes MS is not an autoimmune system gone crazy condition, but the result of poor blood circulation due to deformed veins that restrict proper blood flow out of the brain. The blockage, he believes, causes iron to back up and stay in the brain, resulting in MS symptoms. The deformed veins can be ‘seen’ with standard testing and can be treated readily with stent insertions – as done routinely to open blocked arteries.
The procedure is called Liberation therapy and is currently available in Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Italy and even the USA (if presented as a blood pressure problem).

My problem with the delay and ‘need for clinical testing’ is simple.
Whether Dr. Paolo Zamboni is right about the MS link or not, having veins that are blocked or restricted is dangerous and a time bomb waiting to happen.
Treating such a blocked vein condition should be accepted medical practice now that the existence of these particular vein blockages has been uncovered.
If MS sufferers benefit more than others from having such blood flow problems resolved, all the better.
But to ignore this newly identified condition and not treat it on its own merits -- and waiting for MS trials -- is dumb.
