Everyone who studies MS etiology learns that the cause of MS is unknown. Even neuros accept this before they talk of auto-immunity.
So why Michelle do you present vascular factors as being the cause of MS ?? I listened to your critique and mainly remembered the word 'liberation' as the most repeated one, why ?
The simple message for the UK is:
- CCSVI is a syndrome defined by Prof Zamboni.....
- If pwMS are treated using balloon venoplasty their MS progression slows and in many cases reversal of MS symptoms occurs.
- CCSVI treatment should be available privately to pwMS who cannot be offered drug therapy.
