A step forward in understanding MS?
 

I thought this was interesting and potentially important.

That is definitely interesting, though I don’t think I’ll get too excited as it seems they’re still missing a piece to the puzzle, such as why our bodies treat the enzyme as a threat. I’m almost concerned that those undergoing the test phase of taking the enzyme might actually have a worsening affect on their MS rather than an improvement, assuming our bodies are basically treating it like a threat. It’s that comparison to allergy shots that has me the most concerned, I’m sure it works for some people or they wouldn’t still be doing it, but everyone I know has seen a worsening of symptoms and even gaining new allergies when they start they doing the shots. Granted I live in an area with poor air quality for pollen, but we’re not taking the incidental 3 or 4 people, but over 100.
