Take the time to watch - it's worth 10 minutes to your future patients.

We keep learning new things all the time, and this is quite probably a momentous occasion in medical history.

Interestingly this is all over the news in Canada, but not so much in the US.

yeah, it's been big up here for basically the last two weeks.....experts are still urging for caution though, until they've had time to study the material a little bit more. Would be amazing if this was true though, completely revolutionize the way we've been taught about MS and the way we treat it! FWIW, I hope it's this easy.....

It seems to make sense though - and although he hasn't published yet, he says he's taken in around 150 people and has a 100% concordance rate. I've got my fingers crossed, as this would really help a lot of people.

my question would be, what kind of research led to our current understanding of MS? More important from a basic science point of view, what do those previous research results mean (if this new theory is proven true).

This is definitely way cooler than the heliobacter pylori discovery.

For those people who are too lazy to read it, it mentions MS being highly correlated to improperly developed or blocked venous drainage from the head leading to iron deposits in the brain and so far trials have shown that reconstructing venous drainage leads to cessation of further degeneration and attacks.

Cool post! Thanks Cpt. Richard for keeping us in the discovery loop!

awesome discovery! thanks for the post!

I will watch it right after Top Gear tonight, but this is another HIV post.

Right.

Actually I had a friend who had a roomate with MS. We used to hide when she went into the kitchen and then jump out and clap when she returned. It was fun to see if we could catch her before she fell.

Was that politically incorrect? Sorry it is a true story.

We also used to carry her around the mall during tough weeks so she could go shopping.

And I think Dr. Zamboni's father invented the famous skating rink sweeper. I could be wrong.
