of course the caveat:"we are years away from testing this in humans" was once again included!

My best friends are mice. I'd let one mow my lawn, hell, he could even marry my daughter if he was mighty enough. Never met a mouse with 'MS' I didn't like. One thing about CCSVI. By the time everybody gets treated, there won't be a single mouse left with 'MS'.

It was a mouse study that led us to the autoimmune theory that MS neurologists cling to with such vigour. Specifically, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) which is an animal model of brain inflammation introduced in the 1930s. The autoimmune theory has not been proven nor has it been replicated. The disease modifying drugs are based on this unproven theory and, indeed, until CCSVI most research supposedly looking for a cure for MS has been based on this unproven theory. I think it is time to move on, 60 years or more of chasing a theory that has yet to be proven or replicated is enough. The studies presented in Italy at the ISNVD conference and at the SIR conference in Chicago are just some of the research that is proving Dr. Zamboni's work and replicating it.

I love this: "MS is so much easier to treat in mice than in humans, he said, that researchers sometimes joke that rattling the cage will cure the disease in laboratory animals."

Why don't any of these researchers stop for a minute and think to themselves that maybe MS in mice is easy to cure because it's NOT MS? I believe that doctors can also "cure" Athletes Foot, but researchers probably aren't wondering why Lamisil isn't "curing" diabetes. Then again, who knows, maybe they ARE wondering that.
