This could be big - possibly involving CCSVI or cervical issues?

It's the lymphatic system and it basically has vessels carrying white blood cells to the brain. Seems like it could be a relevant discovery!

This newly discovered immune system has lymphatic vessels, and relies on venous drainage through the dural sinus. The brain is like every other organ in the body, in that it needs adequate venous drainage in order for the immune system to function properly. Lymph drains into veins.

I wrote up a new blog post on this "stunning discovery." It's going to take CCSVI research to the next level...
