Interesting stuff - one must be open minded to it.

But, " the MS community has tried for decades to fit MS into the

experimental autoimmune encephalitis box and when all is said and

done, it just does not fit, " opines an editorial in the issue of

ls of Neurology that carried the 2004 Barnett and Prineas finding

that oligodendrocyte death precedes inflammation in quite possibly all

lesions.

Its encouraging that a statement like that can be published in what

looks like(?) " the " MS journal. It doesnt seem the surprising 2004

finding is being ignored or marginalized, and hopefully followup is on

the way.
