This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

In this case the method looks quite well performed. But let's wait for double-blinded studies performed by the Zamboni team. This could be just lack of skills of the team performing the tests.

Do you have the title of this article? It sounds worth reading.

Hi all, I have just found that the people from the Varna clinic has expanded to Russia. It happened 4 months ago but I have just realized now. One year ago it was really difficult to find a treatment center. Now it is really all over the world. Link to the news: http://www.ccsvibg.com/news_article.p...

Cancer researchers you are all a bunch of bums and criminals because you have not found a cure for cancer. GI Specialists you all are worthless because you have not yet found a cure for GERD. Audilogists you stink because there are still people who are deaf and you love it or else you would be curi...

Every day, they will be awake for 1...

Also what do you make of the pressure difference Dr. Arslan is discussing? Unfortunately this does not prove causality between CCSVI and MS, because the lack of proper flow in the veins could have come after being confined in a wheelchair. On the other hand, this shows beyond any doubt that pressur...

Or maybe they've just got good sonographers who don't press down too hard and therefore don't end up seeing things that aren't there?

It is an interesting coincidence that sonographers tend to press harder in PWMS even in blinded studies, isn't it?

It is not just the analysis that is flawed. This fool has just provided feedback to his sonographer(s) that they failed to find CCSVI in any subjects. To avoid a learning effect you have to keep your sonographers blinded to the end of the study. The sonographers are now going to be thinking 'did we...

So if a herpes like virus causes MS, what is the connection to CCSVI? Then wouldn't it be the virus as the culprit not CCSVI? Just wondering.... MS could be a multifactor disease. Maybe some people get it from viruses and others from trauma. I would say that anything capable of weakening the BBB is...

Thanks Rici. I wait eagerly for Dr. Schelling speech!!!

What is NIVL? I had never heard about that.

Age effect of migration always fascinated me. It also prompted our sudden relocation to tropical latitudes with our boys in 2005. I haven't seen reverse migration data anywhere--hoping that the protective influence is more lasting since we had to move back north. I am not sure how reliable are thos...

By the way, related to this, NAWM also presents hypoperfusion, and that is previous to axonal loss and BBB breakdown. Hypoperfusion of the cerebral white matter in multiple sclerosis: possible mechanisms and pathophysiological significance http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18594554 And it would be ...

NAWM (normal appearing white matter) is the name for abnormal white matter areas that look normal in MRI, but under special MRIs are abnormal. They are important because MS lesions appear inside these NAWM areas, and therefore they represent an early problem before developing the lesions. As anybody...

Here < shortened url > the EDSS of a woman decreased from 5 to less than 2 after a liver transplant. After 3 years she was symptom free. I think this may not be the result of the immunosuppression, that is necessary after the transplant, but the result of a "normal" liver metabolism. R. S...
