BTW - I am not one to try to figure out how I got MS. IMHO, there are far too many variables and unknowns. (Right down to my ancestors diet. Potato blight in the 1800's?? LOL) But I like to find things that can help those that already have it such as the nanotechnology article I posted. Now that is way cool and something I would do if proven to help reconnect the damaged nerves.

I have known about MS for many, many years and about some of the research that has been done on it through out the years. That was my brother's job for 20+ years so I always heard things about it when he would talk about his work. After I was diagnosed 3 years ago we have talked more about studies that were done and are being done and identifying the "snake oil" treatments by reviewing the studies and study procedures, data collection, etc. He was concerned about a treatment I was considering.

In this particular article that I posted here, the study that was done on it was way too preliminary and unscientific for me to even agree to it. Again, I do know that smoking effects the CNS and could see that it could effect how we progress and/or feel. Hence, the reason I posted this article.
