I remember reading this on another board, and i agree that it is worth the read.
Another point worth mentioning is that, at an NMSS Education Day this weekend, the speaker mentioned that this is somewhat an "old" way of thinking.
As he continued to explain, his point did not seem to be that it was determined not to be accurate, but, instead, that research indicates that the brain is actually very adept at making new pathways.
He was very hopeful in that, with MS, damaged myelin does not need to mean permanent damage, as pathways are known to re-route themselves. As we learn more about how to help the brain to activate this process, with specific activiites, we can be hopeful.
I did not word this exactly the way that he did, but I hope I managed to convey some accuracy in what he was trying to say.
