CCSVI isn’t “dead”. It is being refined and rethought and is very much alive.

Dr. Zamboni’s groundbreaking insight poses two distinct problems. First, the reflux of veinous blood into the central nervous system must be halted (at best) or minimized. Second, the injured tissue must be healed.

Recent observations about cranial fluid dynamics, the possibility that cerebrospinal fluid build-up can "pressure" venous blood circulation leading to a blood reflux, implies that attention should be paid to all aspects of brain physiology. In fact, before considering angioplasty, I believe one should consult specialists in skeletal adjustment (chiropractors, osteopaths, Dentists) whose manipulations might release blocked blood/fluid circulation from the head and spinal cord.

Angioplasty thus becomes one of several means to stop the blood reflux.

That problem solved one can turn to repairing the damaged nervous system.

“Scientists Find ‘Cure’ for MS By Turning Common Skin Cells into Working Brain Cells”  is the title of an article in Nature Biotechnology by Christine Hsu describing research at Case Western Research School of Medicine. Reconstitution of the myelin sheath damaged by MS attacks has long been the goal of scientists. Current stem cell therapy hopes to do the same by extracting bone marrow from an MS patient, growing his cells in a culture and then injecting these cells into the patient. I don’t know how successful this procedure has been (and am not inclined to try it.) 

However, once again, repairing the Myelin sheath is only half the battle. One must stop (or minimize) the blood reflux into the CNS. Otherwise the repair will be under constant assault and perhaps progressively less effective.

Preventing the blood reflux is therefore the key to any “Cure” for MS. That’s CCSVI treatment in a nutshell.
