I believe it is out there. I believe it lies in repairing our mitochondria. I do not believe the answer lies in the toxic drugs that do more harm than help. The reversal would definitely be at the cellular level. I think there is great promise in stem cell therapy done properly. I believe there are researchers out there whose ideas and answers go unpursued because they do not generate the profits that drugs do. Proper diet and gut repair from drugs is a necessity. Each one of us MSer's is different and doctors are not afforded the time to figure out what would work best for each individual one of us. Never Give Up. You must keep searching and learning and be your own advocate. Hope gets me up every morning.

This was very interesting to me and makes a lot of since to Me. I did suffer emotional Trauma at the age of 16. I had My first Date and I lied to My Parents as My Date was an older Man and He raped Me and I was a Virgin and after the rape this Man called Me daily to remind Me that if I told any one He would kill My Family. So this is very Interesting to Me.

Reversing nerve damage, whatever the cause, is extremely difficult but not impossible. Lots of people with spinal cord iinjuries hsve proven that. But the damage caused by MS seems to be of a different sort. But if a treatment could be found that replaces the cells that attack the myelin and if the lesions could also be reducec then that would be a cure. I hope and pray that these can be accomplished but the task seems to be huge and the number of researchers too few simply because MS is relatively rare and it is not a killer like cancer.

I agree with your statement reference nerve damage reversal. Even though I am able to walk again there are still various parts of my body that just don't feel right, if you know what I mean!
