Vinpocetine - Double edge sword...

This sounds positive in maybe hindering restenosis (If I am reading it right) :geek:
Vinpocetine suppresses pathological vascular remodeling through inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration.

But then, we have the kicker...
Vinpocetine inhibits oligodendroglial precursor cell differentiation. :sad:

Venoplasty not Vinpocetine

Hello CureOrBust,
From a professional drug pusher or pharmacist - don't do it. CCSVI syndrome is a physical issue and physical means (balloon venoplasty) should be used to treat our stenoses.
Kind regards,
MarkW
