I'm not sure I understand what you are meaning.

So in a population or 1050 patients, 3 developed MS, or 1 in 350.

Doesn't that seem far higher than the normal incidence of MS which is 1 in 700? This is double that incidence rate. Maybe populations of obese diabetics have a higher incidence of MS than the regular population, but I'm sure we would have seen some statistics saying that either being overweight or diabetic were risk factors. I don't know that I've read that.

I'm wondering if there's something in this pill that might be a clue to what triggers development of MS. One can hope, can't they?
