Re: Theoretical Immunology

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 ...

Re: Ineffective control of Epstein–Barr virus infection is seen in MS

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...

Re: Theoretical Immunology

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...

Re: CCSVI MS hindered by big money

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...

Re: Oxidative Stress

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...

A new horizon for thinking about chronic diseases

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...

Re: Theoretical Immunology

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 ...

HERV: friend or foe?

The story has not quite come to an end, there is something to be added. We are retroviral in origin, over 70% of the contents of our cells is believed to come from reverse transcription of retroviral sequences while only about 1% is known as human genes. That is why some experts have said: we are mo...

Good governance in medicine

Providing security for its citizens is the primary task of government, any government. Without it, the State has no right to exist. And governments are obliged to pursue an accountability. Our governments are also involved in vaccination programmes, presumably to secure public health. But now, with ...

Re: Theoretical Immunology

As the world learns more about the role of herpes and EBV in MS, for sure we will see a lot of experimentation with anti-virals. But this comes with a note of caution: the herpes-cellular homeostasis and symbiotic relationship is a lot more complicated than the case of an infection with an exogenous...
