Dr. Paolo Zamboni took 65 patients with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis, performed a simple operation to unblock restricted blood-flow out of the brain and two years after the surgery, 73% of the patients had no symptoms. Dr. Zamboni's thinking could turn the current understanding of MS on its head, and offer many sufferers a complete cure. Multiple sclerosis, or MS, has long been regarded as a life sentence of debilitating nerve degeneration. Dr. Zamboni formed a hypothesis that iron builds up in the brain, blocking and damaging crucial blood vessels. As the vessels rupture, they allow both the iron itself, and immune cells from the bloodstream, to cross the blood-brain barrier into the cerebro-spinal fluid. Once the immune cells have direct access to the immune system, they begin to attack the myelin sheathing of the cerebral nerves - Multiple Sclerosis develops. He named the problem Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency, or CCSVI.
The MS Society has raised billions over the past four decades and not accomplished much. They will tell you that every dollar raised helped to uncover many MS mysteries and that the research has helped many of those afflicted. Dr. Zamboni’s efforts prove one thing. Research dollars donated to any society are a waste of money. When you look at the Canadian MS Society website you can conclude one thing – it is an employment pool for family and friends and much of what is donated gets lost in the administration abyss.
On the news, an MS spokesperson went on to say that the current MS findings need careful scrutiny. She further stated that current MS research will continue on the same path as the past. Now why would you not at least test the new hypothesis with patients who have advanced MS? The reason is simple. MS and MS charity organizations raise billions every year and a simple strategic medical procedure would render all these people useless. My hunch is that they already are.
Dr. Zamboni demonstrated one very simple approach to research – you do it because you care about the people afflicted and not yourself. Greed and corruption are the only reasons why most cures have not become part of the mainstream. Get rid of all these charitable institutions. Cancer and Diabetes are pandemics yet we still look for the cures. We probably have the cures but the system employs more than those afflicted - that is the real sickness.
Provincial and federal governments should make it mandatory that every charitable institution disclose the various
and place limits on the costs of administration and capital investments. Scientific Research must be identifiable and measurable and any potential cure would not benefit private enterprise.
Thank you,
