A potential new understanding of MS

I just saw this article on BBC and thought that it was potentially really good news. It is a theory by an Italian doctor on multiple sclerosis being caused by vein blockage in the brain causing iron to leak into brain tissue. If this stands the test of scientific and medical scrutiny it could lead to a cure. Very exciting!!
