No correlation was observed between vitamin D levels and disability of patients with multiple sclerosis between latitudes 18° and 30° South.
Maybe you have a correlation between ozone and MS. But a correlation does not prove cause and effect. You need more than that.

Yes, maybe it's crap, maybe not.

MS/day
In the morning and at night I'm relatively ok. During the day ko. I'm not alone with this problem. For example: https://www.msconnection.org/Blog/Octob ... dic-Skiing
And rainy - I'm ko.
Data from our areas needs to be documented. It does not have to sit.

lots of varied associations between x and y in all kinds of multifactorial chronic illnesses.
sensitivity may in part be secondary to pre-existing insufficiencies and related dysfunction
Effects of cadmium (JL: aka anti-zinc) and zinc on ozone-induced phytotoxicity in cress and lettuce (1974) http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/abs ... kvb8lWnG70
"Cress plants that had received soil application of cadmium showed markedly increased ozone-induced phytotoxicity in terms of visible leaf damage and pigment degradation; in lettuce, only pigment degradation was evident based on chlorophyll analysis. Soil application of zinc showed less ozone-induced phytotoxicity on cress and no pigment degradation in lettuce."
not forgetting the rat lovers:
Zinc nutritional status and response to lethal level of ozone exposure in rats (1979) https://www.osti.gov/scitech/biblio/5175381
"...The present study, however, showed that zinc supplementation of animals cannot provide protection from ozone induced lung damage simply because zinc does not accumulate in the lung tissues, the primary target organ for ozone damage."
on to humans.
Nutrition and lung health (2005) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15830741
"Several lung diseases have been associated with oxidative stress and linked to oxidant insults such as cigarette smoke, air pollutants and infections. Consequently, dietary factors and nutrients with a potential protective role in the oxidative process and inflammatory response have been implicated in the genesis or evolution of these diseases. These nutrients include fruits and vegetables, antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin E, betacarotene and other carotenoids, vitamin A, fatty acids and some minerals such as sodium, magnesium and selenium. This article reviews the potential mechanisms by which dietary factors may affect respiratory health, and discusses epidemiological evidence for the link between diet and lung diseases. Most of the available evidence on the effect of dietary factors on the risk for obstructive lung diseases are derived from cross-sectional studies. These studies suggest that antioxidant vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and to a lesser extent other antioxidants, have a protective effect against lung diseases. However, the few intervention studies have not been conclusive. High intake of fresh fruit and some vegetables appears to have a beneficial effect on lung health and their consumption should be recommended on a daily basis. Supplementation of vitamin C and other antioxidants could be proposed in subjects with additional oxidative stress challenge, such as exposure to high levels of air pollution. Subjects with impaired immune response could also benefit from vitamin A and zinc supplementation. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of diet on the incidence and evolution of lung diseases."
Ozone tends to be connected to air pollution. When there's more smog, there's more ozone. Smog is a mixture of carbon, sulphur and nitrogen atoms. Ozone can be smelled in the air after a rain storm. Ozone is the twenty mile layer of the outer atmosphere. It deflects rays of light, protecting from radiation damage. Small amounts of ozone inhaled stimulates the antioxidants in the body.

how long can a man last without food and how long without breathing ?...

CONCLUSIONS:
The current results indicate that microglial activation may proceed in the entire brain of clinically stable MS patients even after receiving DMT.

..Together, these findings outline the lung-brain axis, where air pollutant exposures result in circulating, cytokine-independent signals present in serum that elevate the brain proinflammatory milieu, which is linked to the pulmonary response and is further augmented with age.

EHESP French School of Public Health, Sorbonne Paris Cité, Rennes, France Ozone, NO2 and PM10 are associated with the occurrence of multiple sclerosis relapses. Evidence from seasonal multi-pollutant analyses. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29426027
.. However, using multi-pollutant models, only O3 remained significantly associated with the odds of relapse triggering during "hot" season.
CONCLUSION:We observed significant single-pollution associations between the occurrence of MS relapses and exposures to NO2, O3 and PM10, only O3 remained significantly associated with occurrence of MS relapses in the multi-pollutant model.

I believe the stratosphere is 20-50 miles above the earth. It's protective, not injurious. Ozone medical therapy was common in the 20's, 30's and early 40's. Once penicillin was discovered ozone generators were consigned to the waste bins. But these days there are infections that are resistant to all antibiotics. But not resistant to ozone. I use ozone daily in my veterinary practice. It enhances oxygen dispersal from hemoglobin to tissues. It allows mitochondria to function more effectively. It destroys microbes on contact. Ozone in the air is linked to air pollution mainly because it's easily tested for. But not because the ozone has anything to do with smog. Perhaps it's the smog that's causing an increase in MS cases.
