A group of doctors in Italy is investigating a fascinating new treatment for multiple sclerosis, based on a theory that, if proven true, could radically alter the lives of patients....
Patients seen in the documentary relate how, after the simple procedure, their MS symptoms suddenly stopped and, in some cases, they were able to resume normal lives....

I’ve was diagnosed with MS eight years ago and in an unrelated neck scan last year the ventricular problem they are talking about in this article was found.
Very interesting.

For now, MS Societies in Canada and the U.S. have reacted cautiously to the research,, saying there is "insufficient evidence to suggest this phenomenon is the cause of MS" and discouraging patients from getting tested or seeking treatment. I'm not one for getting false hopes up, but this should be pursued. I think it's reprehensible to discourage patients from getting tested at the very least. And I don't see any harm in the treatment.
If it works, it works. If it doesn't, they're no worse off than before.
You don't deny treatment that could be potentially life saving just because it may not work for everyone. And it certainly appears to have a good track record so far.

The surgery to correct it seems to be pretty minor day surgery. You might want to look into it while you still get a chance to make your own medical choices.

Thanks for the ping, Smokin’ Joe.
We have a good friend who has MS. I’ve emailed him this article.

That's incredible, looks promising. I just sent the link to the article and video to four people I know that either have MS or have family members that do.
Thanks for posting!
