Multiple Sclerosis is a degenerative nerve disease.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS/PORK
A Canadian study reveals a significant relationship between multiple sclerosis and fat and meat (particularly pork) intake. The researchers point out that multiple sclerosis is rare in countries whose religious customs forbid the use of pork. (Medical Hypothesis 20:283-285, 1986)

[/SPAN][/FONT][FONT color=#000099][SPAN]Multiple Sclerosis, more commonly referred to as MS, is a progressive disease of the nervous system. In a healthy person the nerve fibres are coated with a fatty substance, called the myelin sheath. In MS patients, this myelin coating is gradually broken down by inflamed nerve cells. As a result nerve signals to and from the brain are disrupted.[/SPAN][/FONT][SPAN]

[/SPAN][FONT color=#000099][SPAN]On November 24th 1997 there was a press release in which a Herpes Virus Strain, HHV-6, was identified as a "trigger" of MS. HHV-6 stands for Human Herpes Virus-6.
[/SPAN][/FONT][FONT color=#000099][SPAN]"Scientists believe that there may be a point in time during the progression of MS when the virus, which lies dormant in the body for years, reactivates ...(and) that the reactivation of HHV-6 virus may be associated with the breakdown of the protective covering of nerves, called myelin."[/SPAN][/FONT][FONT color=#000066][SPAN]
