Multiple sclerosis: the missing link: Renaud du Pasquier at TEDxCHUV

I had Epstein Barr and now I have MS, this guy knows his stuff

[@peterweeds4682]

Yes, me too. But I was diagnosed with MS aged 57. I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr (Glandular fever) aged 42. MS might not ALWAYS follow EBV, but EBV does ALWAYS precede MS.

[@pusscat1147]

Yes me too. Why isn't there a vaccination for Epstein Barr?

[@pusscat1147]

I had Epstein Barr in 2010 and then I was diagnosed with MS in 2017

[@kellkerner]

Also, the disease does have an hereditary component. My family has at least 6 members who are known to have Multiple Sclerosis. There appear to be hereditary factors as well as environmental factors.

[@1Kittywicked24]

My family does too. I have RRMS and if they say it's not hereditary run away

[@ilyasali6229]

Please watch Dr Cicero Coimbra on KZbin. One of the main contributors to most autoimmune diseases including MS is Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D utilisation is impaired in MS patients and this impairment runs in families. This could be why Autoimmune disease runs in families. Please check your Vitamin D level and top your level up to safe levels with the help of your healthcare provider.

​@@journaloftraits5681 a one person case doesn't give any understanding to whether something is hereditary or not.

What seems to be missing is the microbiome and invasive overgrowth. The body is interconnected. ❤

[@numbr6]

I agree with the Epstein-Barr virus link. I contracted mono in 7th grade. I also developed symptoms I now know are associated with MS in that time frame, although I was not diagnosed until I was in my late 20's. The other nutritional / demographic you see correlated with MS is distance from the equator, implicating vitamin D3 deficiency. I sunburn very easily, and avoid sun exposure. No doubt I was D3 deficient growing up. I supplement with D3 now, but that is too late after you contract MS, but it can't hurt either. Of course none of this explains why some people have "benign" MS, RRMS, primary / secondary progressive MS. This is proving a tough nut to crack indeed.

[@serenaally]

Adam Bernstein Yeah.. i caught mono last november (about 3 months ago) and this month i have had signs of ms. Darn lol

[@marciak.6207]

A Brazilian doctor believes that MS and other autoimmune diseases are related to Vitamin D deficiency. He treats with very high doses of vitamin D and has trained some practitioners in the US. You may want to look at The Coimbra Protocol.

But how do u get this virus

[@mariofrank8086]

HI, I was diagnosed of MND/ALS last year and i suffered symptoms for 8 months. Never had any health issues before that, but it came all the sudden and it was HORRIBLE! I was left in severe pains I've been on the gaps intro diet for a week now. I've been trying to keep my spirits up but I just feel like I'll never feel normal again, because i have being to several hospital for solution but the doctors could not help me, i was discourage and helpless. not until this faithful day, I saw a testimony on how Dr James Ehimare have helped one lady in curing her Parkinson, quickly I copied his email jamesherbalformula@ gmail. com , read his herbal medicine is a good remedy for ALS, I contacted him and he guided me. I asked him for solutions and he parepared his herbal formula for ALS disease and send it to me after giving me some comforting words within 6 weeks of medication, i started to feel my normal body again Thank God now everything is fine, I'm cured by Dr James Herbal formula, I'm very grateful to Dr James, for curing my ALS, if you are having a similar problem, kindly contact him today and get your problem solved on his above email or via whatsapp [phone] don't hesitate to contact him

[@medicinekeysformrcps5025]

I believe smoking is another big risk factor

[@JanetWark]

WHY DOESN'T THE MS SOCIETY SUPPORT OUR ONLY OPTION FOR REMISSION??? DR.RICHARD BURT THE PIONEER OF HSCT, HIS FIRST BOOK "EVERYDAY MIRACLES" IS A MUST READ.

The role of the mammalogy Endo cannabinol system is the Key

[@TotalRookie_LV]

No idea if I contracted EBV from my first girlfriend, as I sure did hsve hrrpes before that, but it's interesting, how our very different health issues might be caused by the same virus interacting with almost opposite immune systems - her immunity proved too weak to fight cancer, while mine is hyper-aggressive and have caused MS.

[@aliwahide676]

Check out Dr. Terry Wahl’s book and KZbin lectures on MS

[@JaneDoe-le8tz]

I believe MS is hereditary. Two of my cousins have it as well as myself. Our father's are brothers.

[@careyrobinson6921]

Very interesting and truly pioneering. Before my first relapse i actually noted i had a severe flu for around a month during December 2015, by February i had relapased. I now wonder if this is when it all started, however i feel i had symptoms maybe 7 years prior such as bladder incontinece. There are many stories where people turn to herbs and antioxidants to fight their MS with great success. I wonder if this is the link behind the success of diet and its treatment of MS - fueling the microbiome and supercharging infection eradication. Thus curing ones self? Ive definetly seen benefits, i still feel as though i carry a lingering infection however.

[@emilienbialecki448]

There is in my opinion a strong link between gut microbiome and MS because a leaky gut=leaky brain. It seems like all neurological diseases involve the gut! Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Autism,... We live in exciting times regarding neurology because of the research on the gut, there will be tremendous discoveries in the next 10 years

[@deborahniehuus8253]

Ha!! I remember in about 1999, three years after I was diagnosed, asking either a neurologist or a family doc ,(I forget which), whether there might be some connection between the fact that I had Epstein-Barr virus which resulted in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome back in the mid 1980s, and my current dx of multiple sclerosis. "Oh no," he said quite confidently, shaking his head. But I persisted, telling him I felt in my *gut* there was a connection. "Well," he continued, "if there's any connection at all, at this point in time, it's totally anecdotal. There is absolutely nothing in the medical literature that confirms an actual connection." I remember feeling at that moment he was simply wrong, but I was helpless to convince him otherwise, because I had little else but a "knowing" based on my own health experiences. Fastforward to this research unveiled on TedTalk and it appears my GUT was right, after all!!! Interestingly, it is indeed my gut, both intuitively and organically, that may be very much involved with the interplay between the Epstein-Barr virus and later onset of multiple sclerosis. Morals of this story? Doctors need to listen intently to what their patients are saying. Take the information and run with it, instead of dismissing it. And patients can virtually bank on what their own minds figure out about the causes of their conditions. If that doctor had taken me seriously in 1999, and pursued what I told him, would we be further along with a cure for MS? We'll never know.

[@waisx4002]

Thank you very much, the information was beneficial =)

[@retkvi]

Its really sofisticated desease, therfore for now ist no cure for it, but I think that defenitely there is a link between beeing infected with EBV, having low exposure to the sunlight in the teen years, and after that having some serious infection viral or bacterial like boreliosis or unknown viral infection and you have low count of cytotoxic leukocytes like CD8+ CD3+ and so on, and than you can develop some autoimune disease.

[@andrewi5921]

I believe it has to do with vitamin d in teen years but what virus. I never was sick and still got ms?

[@teresalloyd4962]

I know that EBV was associated I am 56 dx at 18! But not given any dx until 36 yrs now in wheelchair with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis i had glandular fever as a teenager! 16yrs symptoms of ms by time 18yrs!

[@thndrdan]

He's half right.. It's when the virus' pair with a bacteria. Then the fungus also pairs with a virus..

[@kidcitylynnwood6324]

Is the vitamin D3 involved?

[@demoskunk]

None of things "pair" with each other. They're not even close to being the same scale with one another and they don't attack our bodies in the same way.

[@andrewi5921]

But how do u get this virus

[@thegoodoldways]

Could childhood vaccines and all other vaccines that cross the brain barrier as all do - could give us the missing ling for the missing link?

[@thegoodoldways]

Look at the data from the dates since vaccines were introduced and especially the huge schedule applied since 1989 and even more since then.

TedX photographers and film crew are very irritating. You love invading the privacy of women whilst they are watching a speaker. You should be sued for this behavior. Let the audience focus on the speaker, not audience members. Privacy invaded.
