Pharm companies are making billions off of us...do they really want to "cure" or prevent MS? By helping us, they would lose the billions they depend on. I'm all for it, but highly sceptical.

Gee James, I didn't mean to post this to cause such an angry response.

This is not a cure...just another tool in the choice tool box.
