I am trying to find out more about the nervous system, you see my dad has multiple sclerosis and it is incurable but only treatable in the early onset of symptoms. I know for a fact it is without a doubt iron buildup that is killing off the nerves and damaging the sheath around the nerve itself. previously I heard that MS was activated by some kind of shock or accident which in turn makes the viruses start to multiply. Now MS differs from person to person, symptoms vary to and the progression of the disease. How could it be a virus? it cant be do to the fact that its progression should from person to person stay about the same with no difference in symptoms. Viruses i believe have no role in the progression of MS, but something much smaller than a virus. MS for anyone can basically be entirely avoided by eating properly, if you take to much iron over time it wont deposit evenly and start to build up over time then, well doing what you are right now is moving it around the iron will build up in deposits at nerve and start to destroy the sheath around it, this is because it is most likely blocking other materials from getting into the nerve to keep it alive and its now dieing, nerve cells DO NOT grow back very, vary rarely will they ever. lack of water, fluids and a sustaining diet can cause this because the cells cant cycle properly and die. MS has been known to be largely in part caused by large sums of electricity entering the body, such as being hit by lightning, outlet shocks, power lines, or any deadly amounts of it. these seem extreme but it happens to people.
