Stopping the disease would be great for all of us. But it is not a cure until we have our pre MS life back, in my opinion. That will require neuro generative repair.

I know that you spend a great deal of time on many MS forums, but you do not have the disease. If you had it for 3 or 4 decades, you would realize that the old timers who have severe, life changing conditions are not as eager to claim any "cure" that does not repair damage.

Your wife seems to have a relatively mild case of MS now. She would be a lot happier with something that stopped her progression than I would be without the added repair equation.

Come back in 20 years and let us know if your opinion as to what a cure is has changed.
