I think a great deal of actual scientists, it's the system that rewards fraud and squelches dissenting opinion that sucks.

Funny you should mention medical snake oil. My wife has a lengthy history with the latest and greatest treatments for MS, in particular the products of Biogen. The approvals are all rooted in double blind statistical clinical studies. The rewards are enormous for the stockholders, the patients get 'odds'. The best part is that you never can know if the treatment helped, did nothing, or made things worse.

Snake oil or modern miracle? Seems roughly equivalent.


There is now quite a growing body of evidence out there that MS is related to nutritional pattern. Several neurological conditions, including MS, are due to the degradation of the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve endings, now being linked to an autoimmune reaction due to nutrition. This is being largely ignored because there is no profit in it, like there is in symptomatic drug therapies. Has your wife been given any nutritional recommendations?
