They don't get destroyed because they are protected by an enzyme. The purpose of the DMD after this is to try to retrain your immune system not to develop MS again.

That is my understanding of it. Also I believe you have to "rest" for a month after you do the first part. Hope that helps.
Is that what you read from someone else or from the Revimmune site?
