That is an unbelievable change. We already know that nerves don't magically remyelinate within 3 days, and dead nerve cells don't come back to life in any amount of time. So we know that the rapid improvement absolutely MUST have come from some mechanism other than an effect on the major mechanism that causes damage in MS. So the key is to find out what that mechanism is.
If the effects of the HIV drugs are that magical, then maybe medical science can begin to disregard demyelination as being as destructive as currently believed. Another thing clinical studies can account for is the the placebo effect, which can be miraculously fast. Studies have shown that the placebo effect alone is responsible for improvement a minimum of 30% of the time, and in some cases up to 90% of the time. It has to be accounted for as one of the factors when physical causes are known to be impossible for the improvements.
