This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Interesting angle Steve, You don't appear to be selling anything, you have a way out there theory and you claim near enough to 100% success rate. So if I work through the logic, spread the word through internet, well there are plenty of crackpots doing that already and the internet public is wary of...

With the Soceoeconomic bias in MS, There may also be additional factors at play in addition to the stress, * Sanitation may play a role in early childhood exposure to a greater range of antigens hence a more robust immune system, there seems to be a risk cut off rate at the around 15 yo, one assumes...

Is it a Hijack? I thought the discussion had moved to more general causalities anyway. Haven't looked at that gene pathway, but I get the same thing on the thyroid autoimmune disease pathways, and yes it's all good valid work and is helping clear up questions on the way, but they all end in the same...

The doc is acurrent (2012) outline for the test protocol for gluten sensitivity, but the preamble outlines the pathways that exist for the cascade from gluten sensitivity through tissue damage into organ specific autoimmunity with or without Coeliac Disease. Every year I see the Gluten/Wheat net gro...

I'm working on the theory that things don't have to be that complicated to be complicated. Do we really need to blame multiple causes if one irregularity can cause so much fallout? Just a theory. :). I'm interested in your thoughts on the stress-raas-klotho-everything else implications in MS. There...

Just stumbled across this, here in Oz we had the A2 milk come up on the shelves a few years back, I just ignored it thinking it was just another variant of fortified fat adjusted milk, but it turns out it is a distinction in the type of Caesin protein between A1 & A2. Now I may get some terms wr...

Read through the blog, started out ok with some info, then just became a tirade of "My way or the Highway" he would have done much better sticking to the facts as much as they can be called facts. He has not done any serious investigation into the Paleo diet concept and has made the assump...

Here's a couple of the studies I looked at, basically, they indicate, at least in rats, the composition of fatty acids in the diet does have a direct bearing on the composition of serum fatty acids, adipose tissue and cell membranes. To me that suggests that if the diet is sufficiently different the...

Animals don't have cell walls. Plants and bacteria do. If we had cell walls, we would be so stiff we couldn't move. Phospholipids are typically composed of one saturated fatty acid and one unsaturated fatty acid. Having mostly saturated fatty acids packed nice and tight would be counter to the flui...

Here's an interview transcript on the type of mechanism he is talking about, this time in the context of general autoimmune issues. http://www.meandmydiabetes.com/2011/11/30/loren-cordain-autoimmune-disease-and-food-triggers/ Basically it starts with WGA or other plant lectins, they have the ability...

The question here is how do you define "Healthy Fats"? Before you can approach this you first need to look at Ancel Keys, the father of the "Lipid Hypothesis" who brought us the association of heart disease and Saturated Fats, this is based on the 6 country study which showed a l...

I posted this link in the diet section too, but there may be some points in the second half of the video regarding etiology that others may find interesting. There is always more action here than in the diet section and I wouldn't mind a comment or two on his hypothesis' It is Loren Cordain on Paleo...

Agatha,
There is a Paleo Diet section here as well, I just posted a link to a discussion of Paleo diet & MS by Loren Cordain which you might find interesting.

Just stumbled on this Video on MS and Paleo Diet - Loren Cordain and sponsored by Direct MS. 1st half he outlines paleo diet story, but the second half is a bit more meaty and he goes into the etiology of MS and his Hypothesis for how diet contributes to the manifestation of MS http://video.google.c...
