Re: CCSVI and CCVBP

The thing that immediately caught my eye was the reference to the new microscopic technique, "floating focus microscopy." It's not new; check the date of the following article. Also, take special note of the last sentence. Why hasn't this become the gold standard? My son suspects Lyme, but...

Re: MS, ebv, hygiene increase together in Mexico City (study

The finding of "moderate support for a role of higher ‘hygiene’ being associated with susceptibility to MS," could signify decreased vitamin D levels in that oils washed from the skin contain the vitamin D (D being oil soluble) formed in the skin. Apparently, it takes as long as 48 hours f...

I researched the diet for my son and read the article in question before recommending he utilize it. The article in question seems, to me, ...

Re: Vit D3>125nmol/L min in blood. FIRST SMALL STEP for pwMS

Having heretofore not heard of "Dawson’s fingers," I naturally had to research it, and just as naturally went off on a tangent. The tangent took me to causes of demyelination lesions, and specifically to those caused by focal compression. In a study with sheep (I know, sheep aren’t people)...

Re: Just say no to steroids

Sc, thanks. My thinking on calitriol concerns the research being done on the genetic component regarding MS and vitamin D metabolism.
