Tongue If it were just this simply for PD

Sunshine 'protective' against MS
Guess spending time at Coquina Beach in Florida as a child...fourth generation native here...saved me from MS, but not from PD...LOL...not a laughing matter I know!

beach life

Some sun can be a good thing
People who spend more time in the sun as children subsequently have a lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS), a US study shows.

The University of Southern California team suggest UV rays offer protection by altering the cell immune responses or by boosting vitamin D levels.

An earlier study found women who took vitamin D supplements were 40% less likely to develop MS.

The latest research is published in the journal Neurology.

Default Vitamin D

Hi Carolyn,
It always comes back to the BBB. I found
"Vitamin D is vital for the maintenance of the blood/brain barrier"
in http://www.davidwheldon.co.uk/ms-cpn-qa.html

Very interesting, I found a forum discussing the influence of the BBB permeability on MS!

Someone even recommended curcumin as a supplement.!!
