For example, for a while, we were wondering whether chlamydia might be, you know, and that didn't pan out.

In the COVID era, there's a lot of misinformation, as you're well aware, and

I don't think that we found great evidence that COVID can cause multiple sclerosis.

Although when you have an infection, what happens?

Your immune system revs up.

When you get a vaccine, what happens?

Your immune system revs up.

And so it stands to reason that you might manifest an attack in someone who is going to have MS.

But it's a very gray area, and there's a lot of debate amongst MS neurologists, and there's a lot of misinformation floating around.

It's a hot topic for sure.

More nightshades, more sugar, yeah.

So the first comment that I'll make is...

There's no diet which has been proven to slow multiple sclerosis.

So there's no diet that has been proven unequivocally to slow the disease.

There are many proposed diets, and I believe firmly that a lot of these diets can improve fatigue and they can improve some of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

So I am a big believer that nutrition can impact disease course and disease severity.

Mm-hmm.

But I want to be clear that I don't think by itself that can cure the condition.

When I look at the data, you're right that it's really confusing because someone will say, whatever you do, don't drink milk.

And someone else will be like, no, no, drink milk.
