faroe islands

[Guest guest]

One of the great epidemiological mysteries about MS is the wave

of incidence where it was previously little known, in the Faroe

Islands after the soldiers visited in WWII. *What* did they bring

with them? The Faroes have a very high lattitude, so the variation

in day length is already great. Maybe all they brought with them

were *bad* *habits*, and a little DNA to go with them. Since the

circadian rhythm is passed on by the mothers, who stayed on and had

kids, maybe the sins of the fathers and all that. Maybe the armies or

navies had very bizarre GMT schedules which the soldiers and their

lovers had to work around, which caused some disruption of the daily

endorphin cycles of the mothers, which got passed on in their blood to

the babies, some of whom never got any good at entraining to the

large variation in day length up there. It seems to make sense that

the day length variation accelerates as you go north, making it that

much harder to know what time it is, let alone to tell your unborn

fetus.

A lot of maybes I know. But if I am right it becomes extremely

important, critical, to take LDN at *the* *same* *time* every day.

You need that pulse to set your endorphin pendulum swinging.

And it I am wrong, hey, it did no harm...
