Very interesting, thank you. I had a close friend who I met at university who was a very fit and active man in his 20s and a talented mountaineer / rock climber. We did climbs together through our 20s up to the point where he was diagnosed with MS which affected his legs. His upper body strength was unaffected. He ‘coped’ with this disability up until the end of his life while having a successful career as a radiologist. He also managed to keep adventuring on the sea but the symptoms were progressive and finally he sadly succumbed to a brain tumour in 2018. Together we made a short film with the idea to show MS sufferers that it’s possible to live with these symptoms and still enjoy active outdoor pursuits. Hopefully, awareness will grow about what is the real source of these symptoms. We must stop thinking about everything using the word disease. Today I would make this film differently. https://youtu.be/Ahg9uqwQqGg
It's frankly astonishing how many doctors are convinced that illness always implies decline .. I've pointed out for decades that things can mend and heal but it seems to make them angry . They seem committed to entropy. Its our competitive exclusive society I guess.
I took had a mountaineer friend like that .. I did try to advise him but he was so caught up in the medical paradigm I'm not sure if he heeded me. The sad thing is most people cant afford to change their lifestyles for one reason or another .
Yes, many people simply accept what the doctors say, not realising that they are only saying things which they have been taught at medical school and what they accepted as truth without ever questioning it in any way.
As a medical student my partner used to be quite enthusiastic about my idea that conditions could heal naturally. As he got older those ideas seemed to make him more and more angry. He became entrenched in the idea that everything simply would get worse as a matter of course. Maybe their work is so bleak that they lose hope .. or the brainwashing just takes hold. It is ironic.
Oh heavens.. you will recognise my cover pic then. I managed to 'cause' supposed MS by sailing and climbing here. The cure was to stop pushing myself so hard tbh .. and quit the plant based diet. Had I never gone vegan I very much doubt I'd have gotten ill. Sadly the diets in this region are far worse now than they were 100 years ago and it looks like it's going to get much much worse.
Oh, that's very interesting. I have abseiled off the Bhasteir Tooth which appears in your photo. Not sure if I would like to do it now though! Do you live up there? Nice part of the world. I kept the small sailing boat in the film near Oban for ten years before selling her in 2023 - but happily as it turned out I can still get to sail on her.
I can see the tooth is cloaked in cloud this very moment. We kept ours at Cairnbarn or Crinan but I must say it is a very taxing pastime. It's wonderful for exploring remote places but I doubt I shall be doing more. I'm amazed how skilled the elder sailors are who grew up doing this in childhood. It seems to be a talent they never lose. Just dont overdo it !
Just out of interest if you dont mind saying (you can delete after) .. which west coast island is your favourite. Do you have one ?? I'm interested in how people respond to this part of the world .
I never take any pharma, but I was definitely in ED territory .. collagen wasnt doing it's thing at all. My suspicion is this is all a result of celtic type folks not eating their native diet (meat and fish) .. the problem is we cant afford to feed everyone their native diets so pharma seems to be making up the shortfall. Have you tried a carnivore/keto/paleo type diet ?
Actually am on Keto. But my EDS isn’t correctible in the least. Although avoiding certain foods is wise for anyone concerned about improving their health.
EDS is considered one of the top three most painful and progressive disorders known to man or animal, I once read somewhere. There are many different types. I have one copy of the gene of the highly uncommon kyphoscoliotic version. I look pretty good at 62. But with this disorder how you look means little. It’s also said we’re twenty years older body wise than our chronological age.
I hope you can find some relief. Did yiou try that DMSO stuff ?? I havnt but I do hear good reviews . These various disorders are all so interconnected , I hope we can navigate through.
Andy Cutler said that he had never seen a case of MS where mercury was not involved. One of the other mods in our support group lost her MS diagnosis from working with him and chelating. (She reports that her doctor's reaction was to get mad at her.) There is an animation on Youtube that shows a small exposure to mercury knocking off the microtubules that protect neurons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzrjGk9M0mQ. Dr. Boyd Hayley talks about this in reference to AZ disease.
Another interesting item: I met a retired military person at a Weston A. Price do. He told me that the service people who worked on radar installations all had to have their teeth redone as the radiation dissolved their amalgam fillings.
I have a lot of MS symptoms after i made the mistake of getting some injections. I wonder if getting my amalgams removed would help or if it's too late. I also have babesiosis, bartonella and parasites after those injections. All that "safe and effective" stuff they put in there, right?
Yes, you should get your amalgams removed. And you should chelate for mercury. But you need to know quite a lot before you undertake anything like that.
My sister developed MS about 10 years ago when she began a job as a lecturer at a college. I have always suspected the flu vaccine pushed widely especially in NHS and Scottish Education to be crucial. Thoughts?
Yes. Well the flu vaccine often had a lot of mercury in it. A flu vaccine could have put her body over the top as far as being able to cope with toxicity, especially if she had amalgam fillings or some other kind of exposure.
Every day I read something that makes me wish we could turn back time. I watched my uncle slowly waste away from MS throughout my childhood. Thinking that it was genetic and that I could be next became one of my biggest fears.
Great article. I hadn't heard of the B12 link before. My mom had an MS diagnosis in 1977, a relapsing-remitting type which became a primary progressive later in life (and after relocating). She had a dentist's vacation-home level of amalgam in her mouth from an early age. Also interestingly her skin would burn almost instantaneously in the sun, which could have contributed to a vitamin D shortage. Also once I made the mistake of donating a small amount to the MS Society. I then got letter packages filled with greeting cards to use and personalized address labels for years to come. I think I received more mail from that one donation to cover 10x the amount.
Thank you for keeping Arthur's work alive, and for the mention. Here's some more research from a light/ magnetic angle, that is based on the work of Dr. Jack Kruse, along with some of my observations: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/msemf
and most likely a complete sham (akin to germ theory) and a multi-billion industry at the same time - highly useful for creating FEAR as an ideal tool to manipulate whole populations. Yes virusses (viri?) exist but they aren't what they are marketed to be. Dedicated websites on the subject such as Mike Stone's https://viroliegynewsletter.substack.com/ and of course the formidable Sam & Mark Bailey couple from NZ
A GP I knew considered her MS to have been caused by 'parasites' . She treated herself accordingly and went into 'remission' . In my case the symptoms seemed to have been caused by a dearth of animal foods in my diet . Astonishing how rapidly things mended when I rectified that .
I dont subscribe to the idea that *all commensals/parasites are entirely helpful or benign. It seems likely they have their own life purposes and place in the ecology. They would die out if they didnt game the situation a bit... but I do think their harms are largely overstated . Our bodies wouldn't have tolerated them for so long if they were entirely harmful.
I wholeheartedly agree with the heavy metals link, although I must disagree about the electric field principle. We in western cities are totally surrounded by electric fields particularly with the take up of LED lighting in homes and street lighting, why aren’t there higher percentages of MS?
I previously wrote a long comment about toxins maybe coming from treatment of syphilis. I now saw something specifically about the fishermen.
"3. Connection to Fishermen
Faroese fishermen were in a unique position during the war; they continued to export fish to the UK, braving German U-boats and mines. This frequent travel to British ports (like Aberdeen) provided a clear path for the introduction of diseases back to the islands, independent of the troops stationed locally. This high level of "contact" with the British mainland is why many researchers look at fishermen as the initial "bridge" for the infections—or potentially the toxins—that arrived in 1943"
About electric effects on nerves I like to raise attention around the alternative theory by Thomas Heimburg about nerves where the signals are actually mechanical solitons while the electric aspect is a side effect.
.
The nerve pulse itself corresponds to a reversible phase transition between liquid and gel state. It matters because that soliton consumes hardly any energy while the old electric theory would dissipate much more heat than scientists have measured. Actually measurements were already performed by Helmholtz in the 19th century and they have only been improved since then proving the low power consumption of whatever drives nerve signals. Electromagnetic fields may still have an effect on the brain but the science is still not completely understood. There is even a theory about the Brain itself being disturbed without it reaching the subjects consciousness. That would mean not even double blind tests would be decisive. There is something called Brain Recurrence using nonlinear math to prove an objective response from the brain without the person being aware of it.
.
But I think the explanation with toxines suffices for the MS case.
.
And what more than electricity did the British bring to those Northern Islands?
.
The Soldiers brought diseases, syphilis for example.
In the early period of the occupation (1941-1942), there were elevated numbers of cases for other notifiable diseases, including gonorrhea, syphilis, mumps, scarlet fever, and rubella. (But researchers are cited to believe it concerned locals traveling to other countries rather than from the troops)
But lets see what they may have used against syphilis.
"Arsenic and Bismuth: During the early 1940s, the standard "intensive" treatment for syphilis in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) involved compounds of arsenic (such as Salvarsan or Mapharsen) and bismuth. This regimen was effective but toxic and required a grueling six-month course.
The Arrival of Penicillin: 1943 was the pivotal year when penicillin was first proven effective against syphilis. While it began to replace toxic metal-based therapies that year, it was initially in very short supply and reserved for service personnel to maintain military efficiency.
Mercury's Role: While mercury-based ointments (like calomel) were still occasionally used in "prophylactic packets" for immediate post-exposure disinfection, mercury as an internal "cure" had been superseded by the more effective arsenicals decades earlier. "
.
And concerning Penicillin
"There is no evidence that the British military provided these advanced medicines to the Faroese civilian population in 1943. Historical records of the occupation (Operation Valentine) generally show that British medical resources were prioritized for the efficiency of their own troops. Civilians typically relied on their own local healthcare systems, which lacked the military's access to newly developed "miracle drugs" like penicillin at that time."
.
And what was local helthcare using?
"In the 1940s, local healthcare systems, including that in the Faroe Islands which was an integral part of the Danish health system, primarily used
arsenic and bismuth compounds as the standard treatment for syphilis. "
Short circuiting of nerve transmission occurs in the brain when the myelin membrane protecting nerve transmission disappears. Root cause many factors including those listed in the article. Aspartame certainly causes inflammatory conditions to develop in the brain. When the bodies repair function is overwhelmed, the MS appears. Repairing the damage can not be attained if Omega 3 and nutrients such as Vitamin D are not present in sufficient amounts. Our neighbor Jackie survived with MS for 25 years because she was given vitamins and sat in the sun on the patio. A women was diagnosed with MS and left her office job under fluorescent lights and went to fulfilling her dream of breaking horses. Major life style change and out door living with sunshine.
MS disappeared. A mother's daughter was diagnosed with MS, and the mother changed the daughters lifestyle and provided vitamins in including Vitamin D and her daughter's MS disappeared. The basic issue is we are bombard with trace toxins from our food supply and beverages that impact brain health. Combine that with the lack of the nutrients for building and maintaining myelin health and MS becomes a health issue.
The disease/bacteriological/virus/germ/pathogen model of defining and assessing the human condition has many benefits for those who designed and sponsored these tragically erroneous assumptions and definitions.
One of the primary and often overlooked benefits for the ruling class of this paradigm is that it covers up the numerous colossal social crimes of the barbaric system that they created.
All of the ills of slave labor, ecological imperialism, industrial blight, etc. can be laid at the hands of virtually invisible (and usually non-existent) sub-microscopic particles with a wave of the hand.
It's no accident that the germ theory model and scientific medicine ran parallel during the entrenchment of the industrial era. It's no accident that its proliferation was sponsored by robber barons and shoved down the throats of the public through devious machinations when not outright force.
And it appears they got the idea when Germany and Russia became too strong competitors. The UK/US found a way. War, revolution, the Federal Reserve and mass vaccination and fake School medicine to go with it. The US was not in the lead. The Angloamerican Establishment was under Britains control. So the US members were following Britains instructions.

Interesting article. There’s also a strong association between Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (which I have) and Multiple Sclerosis.
My EDS means my connective tissue (collagen) is flawed and weak. With this disorder, we’re imploding like Building 7.
There are prescription drugs that negatively impact the bodies ability to maintain connective tissue vibrancy.
Interested to know which ones, thanks.
I never take any pharma, but I was definitely in ED territory .. collagen wasnt doing it's thing at all.

I know many hospital workers afflicted by MS, and always wondered if it could be environmental.
MS is viral:
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj8222
Virology is an unproven "science" with no proof of viral existence, no proof of contagion.

You are simply providing a link to what the author clearly calls into question, i.e. that EBV is not the cause of MS.
Every ms person has had mono.
So have lots of people who don’t have MS.
Yes, but to get MS you must have been infected with EBV. To then have MS may involve some environmental trigger.
