CSF Fountains, Pulsations and Flow
CSF flow is driven by waves called pulsations. If CSF waves are
too strong or too weak, they can damage the brain resulting in
neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s
disease and mutliple sclerosis. Continue reading

Kyphosis, Stenosis and Multiple Sclerosis
Kyphosis changes the normal alignment of the spine and strains
the brainstem and cord inside the skull and spinal canal. It can also
lead to CCSVI, CCVBP and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading
Scoliosis, Chiari malformations and CCSVI
Abnormal curvatures of the spine, such as scoliosis can tether the cord and cause Chiari malformations and CCSVI. Continue reading
Craniocervical Syndromes, EDS and MS
Craniocervical syndromes may be a key culprit in many
neurological and neurodegenerative conditions similar to their role in
Ehlers-Danlos and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading

C1, C2 and CSF Flow
The upper cervical spine is critical to the movement of CSF into
and out of the brain and cord, which is important to cushioning,
protection and support of the brain. Upper cervical misalignments,
design problems and degenerative conditions can interfere with CSF flow
and function. Continue reading
Skull Design and Brainstem Compression
Among other things, the posterior fossa is shorter in European
skulls compared to Asian and African designs, which may expalin the
difference in the incidence of multiple sclerosis, optic spinal MS and
Devic’s disease seen in the different races. Continue reading
Round Heads and Devic’s MS
Rounder head designs may predispose Asians and African-Americans
to a more severe form of MS called Devic’s disease, which is also known
as neuromyelitis optica (NMO) or optic spinal MS. Continue reading
Square Heads and MS
Racial differences in the design of the skull may account for the
higher incidence of classic multiple sclerosis sen in European races
compared to a variant form, called Devic’s disease, seen in Asians and
African-Americans. Continue reading
Skull Design and CCVBP
The design and deformation of the skull can affect venous
drainage in the brain causing chronic craniocervical venous back
pressure CCVBP. Continue reading

Chronic Ischemia and MS Lesions
Chronic ischemia, that is decreased blood flow, is one of the
primary suspects in the cause of demyelination and the lesions seen in
MS. Continue reading
