Harold foster died a couple years ago. I have read this book and while it was

interesting, none of his recommendations on iodine seem to help me. I found this

interesting because Peat has maintained for years to lack of

pregnenolone is the underlying cause of MS...

THYROID AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Generally, MS can be traced to environmental poisoning, such as radiation or

heavy metal exposure, such as lead or mercury. Here is how one expert describes

the process: " Cells called " oligodendrocytes " are responsible for myelinating

nerve fibers and are steroid-forming cells. Specifically, they produce

pregnenolone. In MS, these oligodendrocytes appear to stop functioning. The

clustering of oligodendrocytes around deteriorating nerve cells may be an

attempt to provide pregnenolone to the injured cells. " - Ray Peat, Ph. D.

Sometimes MS patients suffer from undiagnosed hypothyroidism, especially if they

aren't overweight or seriously disabled. MS symptoms sometimes disappear under

proper thyroid therapy.
