Sounds like a job for antibiotics and probiotics.

One would have thought this would have been found a long time ago correlating MS with antibiotic treatments.

There has to be more to this.

I am always amazed at the role of the gut in our health.

My BIL (about 70) has MS and is doing poorly. He’s had it since his 30s. Our next door neighbor’s daughter (now 39) has MS, but she has benefitted from new advanced treatments that my BIL didn’t have. It’s such a debilitating, horrid disease.

My dad died from Parkinsons which was as bad as MS.

This is excellent. I hope successes like this spark a whole new wave of research. I have long held belief that a similar causal relationship exists with Parkinson disease. It's my believe that it is bacteria or bacterial waste that dogs can smell when trained to point on Parkinson sufferers. I think we'll be shocked at how much good gut health fixes disease --- we just gotta get Big Pharma and Big Ag to quit destroying gut biomes with what passes for food these days.

What an amazing experimental method.
1. Find identical twins, one with MS and one without.
2. Isolate the gut bacteria in the twin without MS.
3. Inject that isolated bacteria into germ-free mice. There are 500 to 1,000 distinct bacterial species in the gut at any given time. The number varies based on diet, environment, and individual health.

The total number of bacterial types (including strains) is harder to pin down.

Studies indicate the gut microbiome contains TRILLIONS of individual bacteria, with the most dominant phyla being Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria.

Imagine proposing that a certain gut bacteria causes MS. How would you possibly isolate it? This research boggles me. It makes being a mechanical engineer look like child's play.

Too many in the “medical profession” know nothing about the importance of a healthy gut biome, and in their practice are unable to make any connections between it and symptoms their patients are having.

A.I. is needed in medicine, if only to quickly do research the medical practitioner has no time for.

This proves that the vagus nerve is a super highway for germs from the intestines to enter the brain.

MS ping

Why does this remind me of the once “Settled Science” of stomach ulcers?

[Ge0ffrey]

Good bowel habits and good dental care are very important.

[Buttons12]

A friend of mine has MS, blames it on a severe case of chicken pox. (So does the doctor.)

Not a problem if you drink plenty of bleach....LOL

Amazing if it stands up.

[Bayard]

An actual cure for MS would be a great service to mankind.

[NoLibZone]

As long as it’s not from pop tarts and beef jerky, I’m cool.

[KittyKares]

That’s quite a discovery. I hope it will help find a treatment which will cure all the people with MS out there.
