The cause of multiple sclerosis has puzzled the medical profession since it was first identified as a specific disease in the early nineteenth century. This monogram presents a reasoned explanation of the cause of multiple sclerosis. It begins with a discussion of some of the unique qualities of modern homo sapiens and how they relate directly to MS. They include differences from all of the other apes, such as the relatively huge human brain, spinal cord, and their attachments. Thus man has a nervous system, which includes nine thousand million neurons, almost all of which are insulated by the myelin sheath, the tissue destroyed by MS.
