In that I don't believe that's gonna happen anytime in the near future, I'll settle for stopping - indefinitely - disease progression itself.

Thanks Becca. It really does look like a 2 part problem. I respect the desire for wanting to completely restored to a pre-MS state. I doubt we'll get one solution for the two part problem. But let me put the original question up again:
What would it take to say that someone is cured or being cured of MS?
Meaning, in an condition that presents so many variances which is compounded by a seemingly two-part (at least) process (myelin attacked and myelin's inability to regenerate) under what conditions would you personnally feel cured or more simply under what conditions would you personnally feel that you were in the process of being cured?
In some illnesses modern medicine goes about removing things, but not necessarily replacing them. Colon cancer comes to mind. Cutting out cancer might halt progression, but leave behind permanent damage. I don't know if cancer survivors consider themselves cured. Ken
