How is CPn implicated in MS?

It is believed that chronic CPn infection causes a chronic infective venulitis which then goes on to trigger various metabolic and immune processes within the body that results in the neurological damage that we know today as Multiple Sclerosis (MS).  It is important to take note that the association of an infection of the vascular system causing MS dates as far back as 1960.  Studies regarding vascular links to MS date back to 1863, and studies regarding infective agent links to MS date back to 1940. 

Research completed by Dr Charles Stratton and Dr David Wheldon elucidated the role of CPn in MS.

Australian vascular expert, Dr Paul Thibault, has recognised the link between Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) and CPn.  According to Dr Paul Thibault’s theory, the stenoses associated with CCSVI are not the primary cause of the neurological damage seen amongst MS patients. Rather, MS is an end result of progressive persistent venulitis caused by chronic CPn infection.  To treat MS and vascular disease associated with it, you must treat the underlying infection.
