While there are many theories about what causes MS, there is no definitive answer. A thought about the gravity of this situation by an Answers.com participant:
This is not a laughing matter and does not deserve a flippant answer. I have been married to my husband for 30 years and for 3/4ths of that time have been his caregiver. He is now bedridden and needs complete bodily care.
One theory which has received some review recently is called CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal vascular insufficiency) characterized by inefficient jugular veins in the neck and other major vascular drainage areas in the body causing a build-up of iron and other by-products of cellular metabolism. If there is insufficient drainage, the heavy metals have a chance to wreak havoc on the cells of the lining of the veins and/or neuronal destruction, and possibly triggering an immune response.
