It is not a fad. I have been attending medical lectures for several years. (My wife has MS). The MS reseearch had pointed out that the risk of acquiring MS is halved if you take Vitamin D supplements.

Is your wife in menopause? Many docs believe MS and Lupus are caused by declining levels of progesterone.

No one factor is the cause. It is believed to be partly genetic, partly environmental, partly viral or bacterial.

And... pregnancy in women lead to the disappearance, usually, of symptoms. Progesterone or some hormone in women can greatly affect the symptoms.

Still, the cause or causes of MS remain elusive.

Dawn, check out my earlier post. Also the FOX news site has some more on MS. It is under the health section, then click on neurology on the sidebar.
