Zombie science?

Do some debunked medical theories have a "life after death" when there is enough money around to keep them breathing?  This TiMS thread makes the case that this may be happening with the "MS is an autoimmune disease" theory, and also tells us a little bit about a "zombie-hunter" authour who is under contract to write a book about the whole MS CCSVI vs autoimmune controversy: http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-8768.html.
