This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

It's all polemic. CCSVI itself is not MS. But many years of venous obstruction will damage the BBB. And with that prepare the conditions for herpes viridae to anchor in the brain cells. The cells will react with antiviral measures. The electron transport chain of the mitochondria will be interrupted...

I could certainly agree with the above comments of ElliotB. To which I would add that current medical views held about chronic diseases, although dogmatically endorsed and repeated, may be truth-like but they certainly are not truth. Relapsing MS has little to do with demyelination but everything wi...

continued from previous posting: ... The title of the article and its very last paragraph hint at the fact that change is needed of our current view about chronic diseases and suggest that there is a lot more to come. That is, if 'they' don't throw the blanket to put out the fire. There will be many...

Hi Vesta, You remain stuck in the old world. Of course narrowed neck veins have something to do with MS, if you find an 85 or 90 percent correlation there is no denying it. But strictly speaking MS is not CCSVI. It comes then down to a word game, a polemic. It is important to be more precise with th...

These people from Vienna are on the right track: https://www.thisisms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32568 Broadly speaking, their thinking aligns with my own ideas here above. The gist of the article demonstrates the generally poor understanding of MS in medical circles. I am convinced that ccsvi plays ...

thank you frodo for drawing our attention to this article. The article demonstrates the generally poor understanding of MS in medical circles. I am convinced that ccsvi plays an important role, to break the BBB, possibly for as much as 85% of cases. The herpes viridae (from the nasopharynx) can than...

Thank you Vesta for your comments. You may like this video about what’s wrong with modern science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=517Msi3wDJ4 National agencies worldwide are incredibly risk averse. No cutting edge research, no risky projects, no bold new ideas. For researchers, the main aim is to e...

As the tiny example on ccsvi under the link below shows, the sector has gone off course. Its governance is failing. What was once a shared responsibility has degenerated into a distributed irresponsibility. https://www.thisisms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=32538&p=263399#p263399 There is an...

It's the inertia in the system that impedes progress. The business model for health, the investment in health systems and therapies, the protocols doctors that cannot deviate from... Of course, the majority of cases of MS is caused by narrowed neck veins in the drainage. And no, relative to the cost...

Addendum to the above manuscript

The challenge is now to integrate the addendum with the manuscript, and make the text a bit shorter and crispier.

As regards "... and the lack of well-established mechanisms for AGE formation are largely responsible for the lack of effective therapeutics targeting oxidative stress and AGE-related diseases", I think chronic diseases mentioned find their root cause in herpes viridae. See also my manuscr...

About the process of collating the above manuscript The author of this manuscript was trained as an electrical and electronics engineer in the 1970s at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. He worked for more than 3 decades in systems engineering in various positions where he s...

This document presents a new horizon for thinking about chronic diseases. It is based on what we have learned here so far. I hope it might interest you. It is still work in progress. The document needs to be tidied up, references of peer-reviewed papers to be added, acronyms to be spelled out etc. h...

But it is not only our ideas on the technicalities of diseases that match (see the previous posting first), it is also his very critical view of the medical system that corresponds with my own ideas and – I guess – that will be shared by many of you. As a professor of a well respected US University ...
