Dr Zamboni said the total cost of the procedure, from start to finish could be 20 to 30 thousand dollars. Gee, that's the cost of a years worth or DMD's for one person.

I would think Medicare, Medicaid and private ins companies would save a bundle if they didn't have to pay 30 thousand dollars or more, every year for the next 30 to 40 years of a young person's treatment. Not counting the Chemo's, and Ty's cost.

We can't let this slip under the rug. We have to keep talking to the NMSS, or our doctors about it. Write to doctors doing this study in your area.

This is the first time in MS history that we have a test that showed 100 percent of PWMS have this blockage. It is our only common denominator. We are uniques in every other way but this one.

I am excited about it. What if it is a birth defect? Could it save babies from ever having this disease as they grow older?

As for climate. In warmer climates (the tropics) the blood in thinner and may not have that much of an occlusion in the veins, and blood can flow a little better. Or some may have a blockage that is not as bad as others. Like twins.
Just my thoughts and opinion FWIW.
