Sad, sad, sad to see this kind of misinformation.

They "therefore consider the neurodegenerative hypothesis [for MS] obsolete." (end quote)

Oh, my. Oh, my.

I seriously doubt the "MS" camp will ever look at chronic stealth infections such as lyme, Cpn, etc.

These infections can RESULT in all kinds and degrees of immune dysfunction - and demyelination

- and serious neurodegenerative effects.

Seems like they are cutting the "MS" patients loose and abandoning them.

So, their headline may be technically correct. Demyelination may not cause MS, but (whatever causes) MS can cause demyelination.

Borrelia is known to cause demyelination.

For anyone concerned about "MS" it is imperative to be assessed for lyme (by an ILADS-educated LLMD) and for Cpn.
