The huge news that MS is a metabolic disorder and not an autoimmune disease hit the web afresh this week.
On Thursday, Angelique Corthals, the author of “Multiple Sclerosis is Not a Disease of the Immune System,” was on Dr Kiki’s Science Hour, a marvellous weekly one-whole-hour video interview about a single chewy science topic:
I’ll be watching more of this show.
And then yesterday io9.com ran an article, “Have we been looking at Multiple Sclerosis all wrong?“
The MS ship turns slowly. But it is turning.
Absolutely brilliant. Will be sending this to two friends who have somebody close with MS. Had mentioned Angelique's paper to them but this will be easier (even if they're french …)
thanks Nicola.

Russian, everyone's MS is different. My guess is that one day there will be as many identified varieties of MS as there are, say, cancer or anemia, and treatments will be tailored accordingly. I'm glad you're doing well. I hope your wife improves.
