1) CCSVI phenomena number one. Vein stenoses cause blood draining from the brain/spine to “back-jet” into CNS, thus triggering an immune response (lesions) and damage.
2) CCSVI phenomena number two. Inflammation. Poor MS Diet, allergies, EBV virus cause calcium to leave the cells to trigger a) cramps in the skeletal muscles and b) spasms in the smooth muscles of the veins draining the CNS to disrupt blood circulation – CCSVI (and Dr. Owiesy). Thus, the added factor of these spasms explains why not all vein stenoses will lead to the blood back jets observed in CCSVI.
Early on factors 1 and 2 lead to lesions in the CNS and corresponding demylination and damage to the nervous system.
Gradually, muscle cramps and reduced nerve function disorganize the body structure which damages the spine. Damage to the spine disrupts communication between the (ANS) autonomous nervous system and the brain. (The ANS or involuntary nervous system runs through the spine. It controls internal organs, the heart rate, digestion, bowel and urinary function, respiratory rate, papillary response, sexual arousal etc.)
I call this process the MS Positive Feedback Loop.
So, it’s a confluence of factors, but CCSVI is certainly the major one. This also explains why a gluten free, inflammation free diet manages MS. Correct nutrition (food, suppléments) prevents spasms and cramps in the smooth and skeletal muscles which damage the spine, the autonomous nervous system and the brain.
