I didn't for one second consider your message to be "negative". While some feel that questioning established knowledge and protocol on MS research is "negative", it is anything but that.Lyon wrote:Hi Harry.
I didn't mean to start a Sunday negatively but actually the situation is even worse.
Of course the big four pharmas who produce today's approved MS medications conveniently stick-handle around that information.In addition to what you mentioned, what specifically ruffled my feathers was:that inflammation itself causes at least some of the temporary disability (probably a lot) which resolves when the exacerbation and inflammation recede involves only common logic, yet researchers commonly overlook that, or at least don't mention it in articles.Until very recently we believed that nervous dysfunction in MS was completely depending on the accumulation of lesions in the white matter of the CNS.

I plead guilty to all counts for using that term It is definitely a hockey term used all the time in Canada.Is there any doubt that you're from the great white? That is a hockey term isn't it?

Pretty close...."stick-handle" could be equated to "tap dancing around" in this instance...in other words, avoid the real issue and make things look good.so I figured "stick handle" must mean "avoid", and since Harry was talking about Pharmas, it must mean "weasel your way around".
