Review Notes on the Epidemiology of Multiple Sclerosis, with Special Reference to Dietary Habits
Abstract: A hypothesis, based primarily on the occurrence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the Faroe Islands and supported by numerous analytical epidemiological studies, is described. It proposes that MS is caused by the interaction of a virus disease with intestinal pathology, e.g., infectious mononu...
