They better think about the possibility of a virological dimension.
Then all the pieces of the puzzle, including the cytokines, will come together....
See also my thesis of 26 March 2015 on

quote from the thesis: After the autoreactive T cells have been reactivated by EBV-infected autoreactive B cells, they produce chemokines and cytokines such as interleukin-2 (IL2), interferon-γ (IFNγ) and tumour necrosis factor (TNFβ) and orchestrate an autoimmune attack on the CNS with resultant oligodendrocyte and myelin destruction (Step 6).
The same is true for so many other things that come together if the virological dimension is taken into account such as the oxLDL, the role of vitamin D etc etc etc.
