Another study, bacteria causes MS

[Marco]

A rare, toxin-spewing bacterium might spur multiple sclerosis, new research suggests.

Scientists from Weill Cornell Medical College and the Rockefeller University have found for the first time a subtype of Clostridium Perfringens, a germ found in soil, in an MS patient. This subtype, found in some grazing animals, degrades cells integral to protecting the nervous system, which causes MS-like symptoms in them. Similar to MS, the cells targeted by this subtype form myelin – a fatty substance that insulates message-transmitting cells in the brain and spinal cord.

All this say's to me is that they still don't have a clue.

I agree Windwalker

Before this it was suspected that Chlamydia Pneumoniae was the reason.

Hmmm, just googled the bacteria, Clostridium Perfringens, and it is common in dogs. I was bitten in the face by a dog weeks before having my first neuro episode. Makes me wonder. All along, the timing of the bite and the MS has been way too coincidental to not be related.
