When I went to the MS Expo, the doctor speaking talked about Vitamin D and it's effects on MS. I was born in Mass, so I definitely was in cold weather for most of my life. The theory this man explained was to have your residence closer to the equator BEFORE you're 13. Such as: if you lived in GA for 12 years of your life and then moved to the cold.. you would have the immunity of someone that's "protected" *lol* Unfortunately for me I had 27 yrs of cold Mass. weather and yes it has to do with being in the sun.

There are of course exceptions to this rule.. there was a woman there that moved to a warmer climate before she was 13, but of course she still got MS.

I was getting sick and tired of waiting for dr's to treat my lack of minerals/electrolytes so I started to take Vit. C& E, Magnesium/Zinc/Calcium, B12, Fish Oil, Potassium, etc. to bring all my levels up to normal levels.. I do feel better but taking all these pills - YUCK!
