Saw the second study after posting my response and PLEASE!!! Please please, don't mess around with thyroid medications trying to cure MS. The thyroid is a very important organ in the body which regulates all manners of things from our body temperature, to weight, heart rate, digestion, immune system...etc... it's almost as important as our brains and controls almost as much too... it is not something to mess around with and is very prone to easy and irreversible damage that can be life threatening.

The EAE which they give to mice and rats in labs is NOT MS, it only mimics mylenin damage similar to the damage found in those with MS. There is a million and one different ways in which they manipulate the little mousies after giving them the disease and less than 1% of the different manipulations will end up being viable for human studies. Rodents have a very simplistic brain structure, and an incredibly high metabolism, in other words a little bit goes a long way, but to increase it expidentially for human trials the greater majority of these manipulations would be fatal.

A large portion of the studies which show "remylenation" aren't seeking a "cure" for MS, but are done looking for links that may explain exactly what is "causing" MS. Know the cause, hopefully find the cure. Why does one twin get it and another doesn't, despite a fairly clear genetic influence on the disease... what is happening in the body's immune system to make it attack the mylenin sheath and just the mylenin sheath. So scientists manipulate other things in mice to see what if any involvement there maybe. Is it surprising at all that by over stimulating the thyroid gland there's a change in immune response? No... the thyroid helps to control our immune systems it would be more shocking if there wasn't... do they still have to play around with the little mousies to see that? Yep... we've come worlds away from thinking bathing would make us sick and should only be done once a month or less as far as our knowledge of human diseases goes... but we haven't figured out a whole lot beyond soap being good (when not used to excess) in the grand scheme of things medically.
