Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor[1]) is the principle that "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity" (entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem). The popular interpretation of this principle is that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one...........

I know, Salvatore! All of the following international doctors have fallen for the hoax and found stenotic lesions and venous reflux (CCSVI) in MS patients- and have gone public (no fears, not outing anyone)- speaking out and continuing to do studies. Dr. Sandy McDonald, Dr. Michael Dake, Dr. Tariq ...

YES!!!! This is SO encouraging.

I do Pilates/work with a physio. I've noticed that since the procedure I am sweating and can regulate my temperature much better, I dont have to stop halfway through the program to cool down, or ask for the heating ot be turned down. My balance has improved and also my stamina.

Thanks Shueywho, Garyak and Babiezuique, I was shocked at my own reaction to the new journal article, and needed to remind myself this is the nature of scientific debate. It's hard to keep a sense of equilibrium when you are clinging on to hope and that wish that CCSVI will 'come through', and then ...

I felt distress/dismay when I saw the recent research appearing to strongly dispute the existence of CCSVI. I didn't realise quite how much I have emotionally invested in, as well as attempted to understand this new theory. For those of us who have undergone the venogram/angioplasty it's going to be...

Wonderful news Alan. The positive effect on fatigue is just amazing.

Thank you Muse and SBR......

Hhhmm. I was wondering about this.
Whether it's more about genetics than latitude.

The association between occurrence of MS and latitude (birth) is well documented. Is there anywhere on thisisms - I could have missed it, explaining the association between latitude (birth) and CCSVI?

Terrific. Thanks so much.
