Are treatments used for decreasing blood clotting effective for MS?

Heparin, an anticoagulant that decreases blood clotting, was first tried in 1959 in the treatment of acute multiple sclerosis (MS) attacks and chronic stages. But neither disease progression nor the attacks were reduced. Clofibrate (Atromid-S), an agent that reduces fat and cholesterol in the blood, was tried in a twenty-month controlled study of MS patients.

Results from the experimental group were, for the most part, the same as from the control group.In 1947 a neurologist reported that another anticoagulant, dicumarol, helped reduce MS attacks. But another study five years later showed no benefits from the treatment. Today dicumarol is considered ineffective and dangerous, as it is known to have caused fatal hemorrhages.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
