OK, DNA from what I have learned could be the predisposed MS trigger. Part of my family was High German, part was Low German, part was just listed as German. Other side was listed as German for all but one, which was Cherokee Indian. The full German shows history of MS. So family history may matter too.

@A MyMSTeam Member Right now that is about all I can do. I do research for computers and vehicles, etc. So research is not a challenge. Time doing this is not too bad since I babysit a lot now.

@A MyMSTeam Member what I have learned so far is that MS was not identified until around the 1950's. In several cases no one knew what was wrong, or if anything out of the norm was wrong. I have been compiling information and am adding more as time permits. Send me an email or anyone who wants a copy. My email is (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) if it blanks it out just take the spaces out of this: ag black 1970 @ g mail .com

I didn't get a chance to watch but 10 minutes of it, but I saw an interview with a doctor that said Gene knew something, and he got to see the start of it before he passed away. The stem cells used in the mouse with a damaged nerve was promising tho. As stated, if the MS stops, then the body will heal the Mylin. But stem cells could do it faster and better, and possibly fix the bad gene.

Another person has done a report on what they found for origin. What I have found now is that Anglo-Saxon's actually populated Europe, along with the Vikings and Germanic. A little FYI for when you use a search engine, DO NOT be spec, start off vague, then pick and choose the results to narrow your answer down to what you are looking for. It is a lot of reading, but you get the results you want. After getting people to say where their family came from, they all had European heritage. A result that matched a simple test that was done in the 70's. Once you ask the right questions, you find out that the pieces come together, and the ones without MS are either not predisposed to MS or have no European in them. A DNA test showed a bad chromosome that causes progressive MS. Which their report came back to European heritage also.
