The Vascular Connection to Multiple Sclerosis
You cannot heal myelin unless you stop plasmic particles from entering brain tissue. Period. The Gladstone Lab has been publishing on this fact for a decade. #Fibrinogen, a clotting protein, is one culprit. I wrote about the coagulation cascade in the Endothelial Health Program. This process causes hypercoagulation, as well as inflammation. Dr. Swank published on it in the 1950s. It's real. Here's more. “Repairing myelin by eliminating the toxic effects of vascular damage in the brain is a new frontier in disease therapeutics,” said Lennart Mucke, MD, director of the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease and professor of neurology at UCSF. “This study could change the way we think about how to repair the brain.” Study may lead to new treatments for diseases like multiple sclerosis
