'Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni has put forward the idea that many types of
MS are actually caused by a blockage of the pathways that remove excess
iron from the brain - and by simply clearing out a couple of major
veins to reopen the blood flow, the root cause of the disease can be
eliminated.
Dr. Zamboni's revelations came as part of a very personal mission -
to cure his wife as she began a downward spiral after diagnosis. Reading
everything he could on the subject, Dr. Zamboni found a number of
century-old sources citing excess iron as a possible cause of MS. It
happened to dovetail with some research he had been doing previously on
how a buildup of iron can damage blood vessels in the legs - could it be
that a buildup of iron was somehow damaging blood vessels in the brain?
He immediately took to the ultrasound machine to see if the idea had
any merit - and made a staggering discovery. More than 90% of people
with MS have some sort of malformation or blockage in the veins that
drain blood from the brain. Including, as it turned out, his wife.'
