Haven't heard any real new developments there, link?

I'll say: MS is one of those diseases where there is a magical cure-all blasted across the internet with little to no good evidence every couple of years, so I would be a bit skeptical by default.

I didn't say anything about a cure, just that we know the cause.

The cause is.... Well it's a cascading pile of shit but you have nerve damage which is the result of demyelination which happens because of antibodies that are antagonistic to the myelin sheath and those antibodies get produced because your B-cells are infected with EBV and the T-Cells for whatever reason can't identify and kill the infected B-cells.

There's still some people with MS that don't have EBV but it seems thoses cases are extremely rare so in their case it must be some other mechanism creating the hostile antibodies.

I'll get you a link in a moment but you can probably find it yourself just by searching multiple sclerosis and Epstein Barr virus.
