I don't know because that is not what I wrote. You will have to ask the moderator who deleted what I said.

Professor Alistair Compston of the University of Cambridge told the BBC: [quote]“ Eighty per cent of the genes that are implicated by the 57 hits are immunological. This shouts out that this is an immunological disease at the beginning. This is a very important confirmation.”[/ quote] It is great ne...

It is clear at this point that the other studies were flawed . In fact, negative results published to date are inconsistent among them, going from finding no CCSVI in any patient to find CCSVI in nearly every patient including healthy people. Besides, performing wrongly a test in a study can lead t...

While I admit these results are interesting how in the world can you make these "key points" after all the recent studies show no correlation between CCSVI and MS?? It is clear at this point that the other studies were flawed . In fact, negative results published to date are inconsistent ...

This was a blinded study. The reason for the two groups, immediate treatment and delayed treatment, was to remove any bias in results found after PTA. The neurologists DID NOT know who had been treated. An important message from Dr. Zamboni regarding the newly published study placed online today. T...

I read the “Big Gene” study yesterday and it simply tells us what we already know, most of the identified genes for MS are related to the immune system. This is not a surprise given that there is no doubt the immune system plays a significant role in MS. However, the question remains, is the immune...

And where did they get their information that Zamboni or anyone says that blocked veins are the 'cause' of MS....he has never said it, other scientists have never said it, WE here on Tims, those of us who are open to exploring the idea that CCSVI MAY BE associated with MS, have never said it! http:...

just a reminder ..... Professor Zamboni has stated MS is an autoimmune disease. Professor Zamboni also stated that those on DMD's ..... continue with taking them. As is Mrs.Zamboni. Until I read/hear differently .... from Professor Zamboni ..... I will accept this situation. as for CCSVI ...... the...

Well, this is a bit strange to say 'we now know the cause of MS'....is he the only one that 'now' knows? because it does not seem like anyone else knows what 'causes' MS or perhaps science would have found a cure a long time ago. And what does cause MS? by the way? Research points towards a combina...

The study identified more than two dozen new genetic variants common to people with MS and found the majority of genes involved are pivotal to the immune system. David Hafler, professor and chair of the neurology department at the Yale School of Medicine, said it’s “shameful” so much attention and ...

or "they" need to be trained on why what they think they see is not CCSVI... i was kinda confused by that. so your saying IR's think theyre not seeing ccsvi but they really are? No I mean they think they are seeing it but they are really not. This is JUST a guess, but I bet if you take th...

Find the CCSVI!!!! To funny Cece. I know it is not funny but damn you made my evening, for some reason, with that comment.

Well it looks like in the next three to five years we will be getting some answers! Great news.
