Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni's wife came down with MS and he started doing some motivated research. He found an excess of iron could be a cause for the disease, and his wife had excess iron in the blood vessels in her head. Nobody, apparently, has made this Fe/MS link in modern days, so he got to invent the name Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency, or CCSVI, for his wife's problem. It's a fairly standard operation to open up blood vessels to clear a blockage, and the result is a removal of the excess iron. She seems to be cured.
He had a few dozen other MS patients go through this procedure and 73% of them are acting an awful lot like people without MS.
Cured.
In a DAY.
Just wow.
