There was a sement on W5 today about an Italian physician, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, who has been doing some incredible new research into MS, and it's causes and possible treatments. It basically goes against everything that is currently thought about the disease. Instead of saying MS is an autoimmune disorder, Dr. Zamboni links the condition to a narrowing of veins in the neck, which constricts bloodflow and results in an excess build-up of iron in the brain. By inflating a surgical balloon in the patient's neck veins and restoring normal bloodflow, he claims to have seen drastic improvement in MS patients, including his own wife.

As someone who has watched two family members (one of whom has passed away) struggle for years with MS, I was highly interested in this, and wanted to share it with everyone here.
