I don’t see any articles or research on Tumerfactive MS that affects less than 1% of those diagnosed with MS, comes on sudden like a stroke. Any updates or research appreciated. Thanks…

Not sure why this has been mentioned in this article.

Fecal Matter Transplants (FMT) seems to be very important in the curing or halting of MS.

Multiple sclerosis

An infectious cause of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been speculated, though the potential for gastrointestinal pathogens to exert neurological effects remotely (as seen with many Clostridium species) has not been considered likely. In 2011, Borody et al.[38] reported three wheelchair-bound patients with MS treated with FMT for constipation. Bowel symptoms resolved following FMT; however, in all cases, there was also a progressive and dramatic improvement in neurological symptoms, with all three patients regaining the ability to walk unassisted. Two of the patients with prior indwelling urinary catheters experienced restoration of urinary function. In one patient of the three, follow-up MRI 15 years after FMT showed a halting of disease progression and ‘no evidence of active disease’.

This popular protein-myelin attack idea is not compelling enough for me since this process is a complex and seemingly unfortuitous and “happenstance” pathway. Rather, my personal understanding is that the cause it more simple, direct and logical. It is well known viruses like to hide in the nerve, where the T Cells, and other white blood cells will attack them by releasing their chemicals while “dissolving” the fatty myelinated sheath as “collateral” damage at the same time. In such case, a known herbal remedy can be used to protect somatic cells from further infection and viral load so the immune system can take control again. Re-myelination is possible according to Dr. Wallach who has written a text on epigenetics.

The philosophy of simplicity in complexity, complexity in simplicity helped me solve this idea with my personal art and zen of mechanics trouble shooting. Caution, things are often made more complex than they really are, on purpose. – Alan Maleh, Technical Writer

Wow, great work as always!! I wonder, am I missing part of the article? In the initial paragraph you mentioned that treatments will be summarized but I don’t see those details, just mechanisms and risk factors.

Thanks!

In reply to Jack Cowie. This post is reviewed by 3 medical/scientific professionals. The publications say that it is the most common autoimmune disease of the brain. Alzheimer's isn't widely accepted as an autoimmune disease.

Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common neurodegenerative autoimmune disease by a factor of 10 over MS. There are too many inaccuracies in this article to call out each one. Please have posts like this reviewed by a medical/scientific professional.
