Vitamin D3 plays significant role in slowing degenerative process in Multiple Sclerosis and CCSVI
(NaturalNews) Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) is a health condition affecting the blood circulation surrounding the spine and brain. It is caused by a blockage in the primary internal jugular or other major veins and is believed to play a role in the cause of Multiple Sclerosis. The term CCSVI was coined by Italian researcher, Paolo Zamboni in 2008 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Zamboni was the first to discover and write about the causative relationship between CCSVI and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Because serum calcium is altered in MS patients, studies found that supplementation with calcium and especially vitamin D3, or 25-hydroxyvitamin D, may play a role in protecting blood vessels and reducing the risk of Multiple Sclerosis. With mile-high costs of Multiple Sclerosis drugs preventing many MS patients from getting treatment, this discovery offers tremendous hope for patients.
