Research on MS and cerebrovascular problems

While trawling around for CCSVI information, I came across a number of research papers making the link between poor venous circulation in the brain, iron deposits and MS. There are plenty more out there if you are willing to look, after all this idea has only been around 150 years......

• The MS lesion: caused by hypoperfusion?
• A potential physiological link between MS and depression
• Effects of hypoxia on the brain
• Increased neuronal vulnerability following hypoxia/ischaemia
• The Big Idea: Iron-dependent inflammation in venous disease and proposed parallels with MS

• Tracey Putnam, Boston City Hospital,
  developed an experimental dog model of
  venous obstruction to study MS. His work
  supports the recent rediscovery of this concept
  by Dr. Paolo Zamboni of Italy.
  He stated:
  “The similarity between such lesions
  and many of those seen in cases of
  multiple sclerosis in man is so striking
  that the conclusion appears almost
  inevitable that venular obstruction is
  the essential immediate antecedent to
  the formation of typical sclerotic
  plaques.”
