This nice thing about this hypothesis is that he is simply saying "MS patient = blocked arteries from the brain. Normal person = no blockage of arteries. Blocked arteries increase iron around/in the brain. Iron is a problem for the brain. Iron may be one of the contributing factors of MS"

How to check for blocked arteries (see video) either an MRI or a "quick and dirty" ultrasound done in a doctor's office. If you have blocked arteries, you UNBLOCK them. What can be easier. Simple angioplasty (balloon procedure). Check every once and a while to see if they are still all open. Watch if MS symptoms improve.

Downside to opening up blocked arteries? None that I know of.

Looks to me that the starting point for any MS patient is to check if his/her arteries are blocked.
Any surgical procedure carries an element of risk. I am no medical expert, but I am sure that operating close to the brain must have some specific risks. Surgery has advanced so much in recent years that it is easy to overlook the possible downsides.
