Can a person be cured of Multiple Sclerosis – What causes Multiple Sclerosis?

What causes Multiple Sclerosis(MS): The cause of many a auto immune disease is a mystery in modern times and even studies comes up with various variations to the causes even after decades of studies but we can confidently say that MS is not due to one cause due to multiple causes that come together and cause Multiple Sclerosis.  Studies have also found that some people get MS after they have had a viral infection like the Epstein-Barr virus or human herpes virus which makes their immune system stop work normally.  The infection may trigger the disease or cause relapses.  Though scientists have been studying what causes MS, they do not have a clear answer but one thing is clear that one of the causes of MS is due to inflammation, but what causes inflammation is still unknown and this is the case with all the auto immune diseases.  Like said when the immune system goes rogue, they start attacking the body parts unknowingly or unable to make out whether that is foreign parts or own body parts and when it starts then there is no stopping until it gets cleared to immune system that it is a body part. 

Medical science has even come to the conclusion that one of the cause MS could be due to low level of Vitamin D and low level of Vitamin D have been found to be more common in countries further away from the equator where sunlight is less but that might be one of the cause because there will be less Vitamin D produced by the body due to not having sufficient sunlight but like said there will be combination of causes for MS.  Studies have also found out that MS is not directly inherited from parent to child, there is no single gene that causes it.  Over 100 genes might affect your chances of getting MS.  Studies have also come to a conclusion that one of the cause of MS could be your lifestyle and that one factor should not be ignored and the main ingredients that make up MS could be in your day to day food or environment, the daily environment that you assume could do you no harm like the harmless air freshener in office, house, or car.
