Pfizers Viagra (Sildenafil citrate) Aids Victims of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis
Estimated to affect more than 85,000 people in the UK and about 500,000 in US. Estimates range from one to two-and-a-half million for people living with MS throughout the world. MS affects twice as many women as men.
MS is the most common disabling disease of the central nervous system in young adults.
An Auburn University report suggested that Viagra may protect against some degeneration: “It has been shown to protect multiple sclerosis patients from neurodegeneration through increased grey matter perfusion in the brain,” the researchers said.
I tried researching neurodegeneration and grey matter perfusion, but I’m not sure if I got it right. I think it means that Viagra (Sildenafil citrate), Pfizer’s miracle cure for Erectile Dysfunction (male impotence) can help the MS patient’s brain to receive nutritional benefits from their blood supply more readily.
It’s just fascinating all the uses for Pfizer’s Viagra.
If Viagra can help people with MS I suppose it is due the the fact that Viagra is slowing down the destruction of Nitric Oxide. Does that mean, that increasing the bodies natural production of Nitric Oxide will help patients with MS.
Pls mail any comment to me.
