CURE FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS!!!//dinner at k's//saw rn//oil change//t's mother died

Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, which affects up to 2.5 million people worldwide. In an initial study, Dr. Paolo Zamboni took 65 patients with relapsing-remitting MS,

performed a simple operation to unblock restricted bloodflow out of the brain – and two years after the surgery, 73% of the patients had no symptoms. Dr. Zamboni’s thinking could turn the current understanding of MS on its head, and offer many sufferers a complete cure.

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, has long been regarded as a life sentence of debilitating nerve degeneration. More common in females, the disease affects an estimated 2.5 million people around the world, causing physical and mental disabilities that can gradually destroy a patient’s quality of life.
It’s generally accepted that there’s no cure for MS, only treatments that mitigate the symptoms – but a new way of looking at the disease has opened the door to a simple treatment that is causing radical improvements in a small sample of sufferers.
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.

wish they had discovered this when Leeann on ds was still alive. amazing!  hope it works!!  

raining super hard this afternoon.  expect daily rain for five days.  another luno moved in across the lane who is taking down TREES!!!  grrrr.  this isn't michigan or pennsylvania.  we need the trees for SHADE.  wth are they thinking.  seriously.  it also provides privacy.  now let's see if they re-plant another tree.  thought it was ILLEGAL to take down large trees in florida.  
saw rn yesterday for a little while.  more to check on her.  i think babysitting five days is knocking her out.  at some point all of that has to stop.  two days maybe but five days.  talked to LraD who is moving to Arizona.  hmmm.  they moved here from New Mexico mostly because they bought high.  then they bought too high here and to an area with high fees and taxes.  wonder how this real estate move is going to go for them, i know they are selling at a loss and moving to Arizona in summer?  why not wait until its cooler outside like November?  you just sit back and watch the drama.  
rn's friend was by who is trying for disability again.  she's 49 and her lawyer told her until she is 50 she has no chance of getting it.  she has some kind of chronic arthritis.  reminds me of when tm went through this and he was so messed up that he was in traction a couple of times per year but "too young" to get it.  hmmm.  but if a person is INSANE then they get it.  usa is something else.  
had dinner at k's.  what did we have?  peach nectar drinks with rum and triple sec.  sandwiches of meat and cheese on german bread as an appetizer.  salad.  blueberries with whipped cream.  coffee.  white wine.  bean casserole.  battered fish fillets.  
also t's mother died.  another one.  it just goes on and on this year.  so much death i can't believe it.  she had been battling cancer for about ten years i think.  she beat one kind and then got another.  totally sick when that happens.  
brought my car in for an oil change.  the light for service engine soon goes on and then goes off and he says there is nothing wrong.  could be the sensor.  also it says 5w/30 it does not say semi-synthetic even though he insists that is what it is.  the receipts with the former owner always said semi-synthetic on there.  kind of annoying.  also picked up brim's popcorn, they have it again.  now is it a new delivery or did they find boxes of it in the back?  guess i'll find out.  they also called for b's referral.  i gave it to them.  then she calls the next day and doesn't remember getting it.  they also lost his paperwork from where he worked before.  what in the world.  way to go human resources.
