Research goes on all over the world. So it's not for lack of trying that scientists and doctors haven't found one yet. Several have been found to be closely linked to MS. Here are a few of them.

Researchers have found that the Varicella zoster is at high levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of people with MS. Human herpes viruses are also linked to multiple sclerosis. And the one called Epstein-Barr was thought to be one of the leading causes because of the absence of MS in people who were never infected with it.

Viral infections are thought to be a reason for eventually developing MS in susceptible people. Cir has had numerous sinus infections as a child and young adult. And occasionally, he still gets them.

Many of his friends who are MSers have also related that they had many infections, as well. The relationship between multiple sclerosis and viral infections is very strong.

If you are susceptible to getting infections, take steps to keep from getting them. Eat healthy, exercise (moderate or light, depending on your particular limits).

So get to work, scientists and researchers! A cure is surely in your view! Click the link to read more about the causes of MS.
