Multiple Sclerosis & CCSVI
A new approach to Multiple Sclerosis cause/treatment. Chronic CerebroSpinal Venous Insufficiency. It is presently making a boom in the MS society.
http://csvi-ms.net/en http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8374980.stm http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle1374954/ Would that exam require specially-trained radiologists? It seems to be a special procedure and up to now only few hospital offer the service. Canadian MS Society will start a controlled study based on the Dr.Zamboni's protocol. Cheers all; Algis |

Very exciting developments! WOW!
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...1121?s_name=W5 I wonder if iron chelators can be used to decrease the inflammation. Anybody have any information regarding the ability of common antibiotics to chelate iron? Common antibiotics like tetracycline? |

Antibiotics? I dont think they chelate iron, but beat me wrong :P
http://sickle.bwh.harvard.edu/chelators.html is the best I can find. |

Multiple Sclerosis & CCSVI
Thanks for posting this, Algis. I read the links and sent one to my brother-in-law who has MS. He also used to be an ER doc. Currently he's taking a daily injection of something that seems to have pretty much halted the progress of the disease.

@Chemisttree: I want to correct myself - I found this while doing my researches:

Of course whatever antibiotic chelating action would presuppose it could cross the blood brain barrier. |

Doxycycline and minocycline are sometimes used with MS patients. But there are probably other iron chelator agents out there; Phytic Acid?

i dunno, too much of this sounds like you're simply dealing with inflammation. so, a lot of things seem to help a lot of different people with MS because there are a lot of ways to modulate inflammatory response. anyone tried infecting them with worms, yet?
oh, and a little searching seemed to indicate that inflammation causes blood Fe to go down, but that it ends up in tissues like the liver. and brain. |

I wish it would be that simple :D

yeah, i know it's not, but i think the mainstream is still focused on autoimmunity. and i saw something saying they'd been down this bloodflow road before and it went nowhere.

It is not because they are a lot to be wrong that they are right...
Thank you all :) |

Doxycycline has worked for some; it is an antibiotic ~and~ iron chelator... So tough call...
The idea behind CCSvI is: blood slowing because narrowing of the veins. Blood percolate because of endothelial permability; iron of the blood bind with myelin; immune system eat iron - and the bounded myelin... It is reasonable. It puzzle medical corps since so long it becomes desperate.... |

Sorry: I do not think magnetic field could separate molecules in the brain... Fe is binding with fat; which myelin is rich of.
