Thanks everyone for all the links and info. I read through some links and will be reading through the others. As many of you know, my brother spent 20+ years as a researcher for neurological disease - MS included. I plan on sharing this information with him and seeing what he thinks about it all. I am sure with all his work/books (and he has lots) he has heard of this but I am not sure.

Anyway, it finally feel like they are on the right track to me ...

Thanks Cherie! You and I have a similar history in regards to the MS. Few (5) brain lesions but definite spinal lesions and I was thinking of you as well when I was wondering about those of us with more spinal lesions than brain.
The theory does make sense to me but I agree with you that the underlying problem is still a mystery. Something has to be causing and we are then back to the same questions - what caused this malfunction within our bodies. We are then back to the chicken and the egg question.
It would be interesting to see the results of anyone in the study that was directly related to an MS patient in the study. It is interesting that for some families MS
appears to be "hereditary" while in other families there is no direct link to it being hereditary. Case in point, I am the only one in my family that had/has it for the past 4 generations. Others on here have other family members who have it as well. Again, are these 2 different types of MS? Is one CCSVI an inherited condition and the other is completely different?
I am very hopeful that this will be a start in a new direction for all of us MSers. Again, I think of this in terms of strokes or TIAs or brain injuries and the effects of such both short term and long term.
