maybe it has something to do with Iron levels and the magnetic field of the Earth. that would kind of fit with MS being predominantly in regions within a certain distance to the Poles
For the sake of all the MS sufferers out there, I hope you're wrong...
So far his evidence and treatment success in the patients he has done this on has been exceptional. If I had MS, I'd be filled with hope this may one day be standard procedure. Medical community sometimes slow to adopt or accept revolutionary concepts, depending on which side of the table you sit...
I'll be following this closely. I know some people in Canada have been getting sent for and approved for this treatment so it will be interesting to see how it all turns out.
In the meantime, it is very preventative to look at our own iron levels and make sure we are not in the iron overload category, and get tested at least once in our life for any signs. Can't hurt us to know. Will hurt us not to, though...
Cheers
I don't know but I guess that Zamboni's research won't lead to a treatment for MS.
Well of course I know you are familiar with the story, never suggested otherwise, I agree with your reference to the research of Dr. Zamboni, and much more has to be learned, but aside from the surgery for Liberation Vein Therapy, as it is called, is the fact that the iron that has loaded on the brain due to vascular blockages is now able to drain and be removed, so it's not as much the blockage being removed as it is the relationship between iron load on the brain and neurological disorder and disease. That was my point, is that it is such a "simple" approach, and the only ones fighting his research and findings are the Big Pharma and his most outspoken critics are the ones who have a vested financial interest in keeping this quiet. Billions of dollars a year are spent on treatment of MS...if a person is diagnosed with iron overload, they are treated with phlebotomy...removal of blood=removal of iron=resolution of many symptoms and prevention of disease. No money in it for docs and pharma...
MS is not the only neurological disorder associated with iron overload...Alzheimers, Parkinson's, depression, mood disorders...to name a few. There are many others.
I have a fascination with the latest findings in this field and learning more in the quest for our own answers to our health problems we have been diagnosed with recently, as we learn just how this little known or recognized disease of iron overload affects us mind and body.
if you're happy believing what the doctor told you it's not my problem boy I'm not your dad.
Mate, of course I found something that fits better. I have clinical evidence of it, I had tests.
So you think your conlusion is now more accurate simply because you've been reading into AIDS, Lyme, ALS and other things. And now you have this "autoimmune reaction" theory. But what evidence do you have to state this more than yourself and your cats? You've also twisted everything in a way that looks more reasonable to you. Just wondering, have you been checked by a psychiatrist? I'm not saying you are crazy either, but maybe you have an OCD, who knows.
Your neighbour died and other people died. Well, how can you be aware of the reason these people died? People die there, here, everywhere, and death can show in a lot of ways, there doesn't necessarily have to be a warning. But you have your theory, so you see a person die in your environment, and within the context of that theory, you make it fit well.
You have a negative MRI showing no MS, good for you, but what other tests did you have? There is much more to test before getting to find a conclusion yourself.
I am not saying that a relation between your legs and a flu is impossible, it would be only considering this autoimmune theory. But how possible is that? I think it's one of the least possible conclusions. I think doctors would search and insist first on a disease not related to your flu.
Just wondering, have you noted that a post-infectious encephalitis is a medical emergency? Don't you think doctors would have considered this in your case?
Besides, I read the statistics of ADEM, and I can quote this text:
"The incidence rate is about 8 per 1,000,000 people per year. Although it occurs in all ages, most reported cases are in children and adolescents, with the average age around 5 to 8 years old"
Don't you think these statistics show that it's virtually impossible that you and your neighbour and practically everyone about there with cognitive symptoms as you say have ADEM? And what evidence do you have to state that everyone around there got sick with cognitive symptoms? Did they tell it to you? Did you make a neuropsychiatric examination of these people?
You state again that H Pylori wasn't the origin of my symptoms and again, what evidence do you have to state this? Millions of people with H Pylori don't have my symptoms, because the bacteria doesn't produce B12 deficiency in everyone, and besides B12 deficiency doesn't manifest on the same way in everyone.
You also state that B12 defiency can't develop suddenly. And what evidence do you have to say this? Also, who said mine developed suddenly? I've had anxiety and concentration problems all this year, prior to overexercising.
You show me evidence and I will consider your theory. If you want, of course, because it's obviously not important to you whether I agree with your theory or not.
