Study Casts Doubt on MS Vascular Theory

Not a fitness issue. Just another demonstration of they have no idea what is going on.
A new study from Germany has found that multiple sclerosis (MS) patients showed no evidence of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) -- striking another blow against the theory that obstructed blood flow in veins exiting the brain may be a cause of MS.

Ultrasound exams of jugular and vertebral veins in 56 MS patients and 20 controls yielded normal findings in nearly all of them, reported Florian Doepp, MD, of Humboldt University in Berlin, and colleagues online in Annals of Neurology.

The findings directly contradict results reported last year and in 2007 by Paolo Zamboni, MD, of the University of Ferrara in Italy, and colleagues from a 300-participant ultrasound study, in which nearly all the MS patients but few controls had CCSVI.
Apply to "healthy" foods, supplements, drugs for weight loss, etc., rinse, repeat.
