Is CCSVI the Cause of MS? Is surgery the solution?
CCSVI - Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency

On 10/29/09 I had stents placed in my collapsed jugulars at Stanford Medical Center. My condition was worsening, following great years of recovery on LDN. I am attempting to research the impact that LDN may have on the vascular system, perhaps this explains why so many have benefited from LDN therapy, although in my case it obviously reached a limit where it could not combat the blocked drainage from the brain. However, for those like me who have failed FDA approved MS therapies, or those who don't want to risk the side effects, LDN is still the best solution I have found.

Research is just beginning and there are many questions to be answered about CCSVI. I have started a new website to report developments, and on my own case history, including MRV scan images. Please visit HealingPowerNow.com
 

Below are some of the other potential causes of MS I have investigated or tried therapy for over the years.
 

Are Bacteria the Cause of MS? Are Antibiotics the solution?

I have continued to follow all of the research on the possible cause of MS, including pathogens like c. pneumoniae (CPN) and Lyme. The MD's I've consulted feel that LDN's ability to normalize the immune system could be beneficial to fighting pathogens.

Below are some references and resources on pathogens with links to MS.

This is progress, the self-interest decision by the IDSA doctors that Lyme can be cured with 1 month of antibiotics prevents patients from getting insurance for the long term treatment required to cure Lyme.

  Lyme Disease Misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis

There is a growing group of Lyme Literate MDs (LLMD), doctors familiar with Lyme treatment, and they are likely to be more open to prescribing LDN than most. If you do a web search on Lyme you will find many resource sites. Here are a few.

  LymeNet

  Washington Lyme Disease includes a national directory of Lyme MDs. These doctors will be able to help with antibiotic protocols for MS. Or check in with your local Lyme support group to find a doc.
