My neuro came from there. He seems to think he's pretty self-important and that he has unquestionable, unimpeachable expert knowledge (except about CCSVI, that is)eve wrote:Sigh. This guy only seems to be able to make a point by being insulting. 'Scientifically backward country' happens to have one of the best medical care systems in the world.
I could be wrong, but I believe that Dr. Sclafani describes this that if output of venous flow is blocked, then internal flow also slows significantly. It's one of those circuitry system where both sides must balance, so one (input) must accommodate for output disturbances to even it out. So there's no increased pressure in the brain or elsewhere. Not only that, but corollary veinous systems develop around the blockages to allow continuation of blood flow.Asher wrote:I'm no doctor, and I'm desperate for CCSVI to be my salvation. And yet Colin Rose writes:
"Note that the facial veins drain into the upper internal jugular veins. An obstruction in the lower internal jugular vein, substantially increasing venous pressure would affect the face as well as the brain".
At face value and to an ignorant individual like me this sounds logical? Any thoughts?
