Multiple Sclerosis Cure Claim Causes Huge Response

By: Jason B Luke

Multiple sclerosis patients were in awe when an Italian doctor, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, claimed that he had a relatively simple explanation for the cause of the crippling disease. Along with hyped-up media accounts, Dr. Paolo Zamboni claimed that the disease could be successfully treated by unblocking veins in the brain.





The claims have now raised questions across the globe about how scientists use the media to portray medical research. The response from patients has been so intense that offices across Canada say that regular work often grinds to a halt as eager patients demand more information and immediate treatment.

Overnight, the new concept has become the talk of the MS Society, and millions of dollars are pouring into funds for research of the new procedure.

Neurologists in the U.S. and Canada are reporting that sometimes they face recriminations from angry victims who are quite desperate for the cure.

Multiple sclerosis experts are blaming the exaggerated, dramatic response to the CTV documentary that was a one-sided depiction of an unproven technique.

Experts explain that Zamboni's work represents a new opportunity to understand and treat MS, but it will require much more validation and investigation before it can be called a cure.
