Wow...I barely understood any of that.  Is it basically saying they aren't any closer to finding links between MS and vascular problems?

At this point, they can't figure out which patients to treat.  They won't really be able to test whether this treatment is better than a placebo until they can figure out who to treat and then split that group up for a designed double blinded sham controlled clinical study.  

At this point, almost all of the data is anecdotal.  There is no way to weed out the "wishful thinkers" from those that might be actually helped.  There is also a problem that in several of the people that have been treated, the effect seems temporary.

It still may hold promise, but it is too early to tell.  More research money needs to be spent.
