I meant to say trigger not cause. It's still early.

Good article-thanks~ Another maybe cause now maybe a cure?

Interesting. I read an article about how MS was less prevalent in developing countries because they were exposed to some kind of natural parasite. They found it helps in preventing MS.

This article makes me wonder if the toxin is the key part of the cause. They say it is a bacteria but a bacteria toxin so I wonder if it is toxins that cause our MS. Along with our predisposition.

where does the bacteria come from, or did i miss that part? :)

Wouldnt it be cool if they found a cure because of this!

catsr, No, you didn't miss where the bacteria comes from. Hopefully as they do more research, we will find out more.

Gentle hugs, Linda

I found this which explained a little more on the subject...

Thank you

Very interesting, I actually forwarded it to my neuro.

Big HUGS

mommies4, I'll take that probiotic cocktail when they have it ready ! That sounds like a good approach to me :)

Gentle hugs, Linda

Interesting. . . it would be a good start at least if they can confirm that the bacteria is the trigger. . . I am very interested in the remyelination studies they have been doing recently, myself.

It intrigued me due to my Doctor finding the H pylori bacteria in me.I was treated with heavy doses of antibiotics for it and have yet to be re tested to see if it still there. Here is a link to H Pylori if you don't know what it is...

Just makes me wonder if this can live in me for gosh knows how long then is it possible ???? I did not however have bleeding ulcers due to H pylori thank goodness ....

Just Google H Pylori and tons of articles come up

@ dxat59 I agree if only we all could be so lucky if thats what you want to call it .... but for research to stumble on something so big yet as simple as a ( probiotic ) or a daily as a preventive or a door stop to something that has caused so many such heartache and pain ... if only ...

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

Great article.

Have you guys ever heard of MS being neurologic Lyme disease? I believe it is for some. Others, some other infection. Either way, (high does) Corticosteroids are sooo toxic. 2nd worst mistake of my life.

Probiotics are great. Everyone should eat them, healthy or sick.

Has everyone here been tested for Lyme?? JW
