After your post I did a quick search on myelin,, never really considered the properties of it, despite research on MS, but now I wonder why the neuro is so set on my quitting smoking when nicotine might actually assist myelin repair. Of course that's not considering the immunosuppressants and tar from cigarettes.

Conspiracy?

But also rather surprised that most doctors encourage a low cholesterol diet even if ones cholesterol is normal, but lipids (cholesterol) makes up a large portion of the components for myelin sheathes. And yet every MS diet also recommends reducing fats and cholesterol.....

I've always had low cholesterol, total doesn't even come to 100 regardless of diet... Could my body be stealing it from my brain??
