That's the group I got in touch with thus far... well, emailed (since it was Saturday they won't respond till next week).

Imagine THAT inbox....

I too thought about spinal lesions, and it's a good question. Personally I think that the FACT there are blockages (which imo, doesn't matter as far as the age question is concerned) is a part of the bigger picture of the disease, BUT... I feel that the blockages COULD be the key to providing a better quality of life for many of us, and possibly stopping the process that's already existent.

It's entirely possible that once the blockage starts, it gets worse over time gradually, resulting in the disease process we've known in the brain, optic nerve and spinal chord for so long now.

If bad stuff's being left behind in the brain, as the program describes, due to the draining being restricted due to the narrowing, it's only logical that our immune system would POOF fly into action, and be confused possibly? .. leading to the attack on myelin.

Of course I'm completely hypothesizing but wow.. the more I think about this one...
