The critical point — the word “virus.” COVID is Caused by the coronavirus. Multiple Sclerosis and Paget’s Bone Disease are caused by the Morbillivirus.
Brain Plaques Implications and Clues
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis patients ALL develop the same hard, insoluble plaques in the brain, a result of Amyloid protein. Since MS is caused by a Virus, maybe Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are also caused by a Virus.
Discovery of the Cause of MS — 1974
The Morbillivirus (Canine Distemper Virus), was identified as the cause of MS in 1974 by Neurologists Dr. Stuart Cook, MD and Dr. Peter Dowling, MD, of Rutgers University. The ubiquitous Morbillivirus causes Canine Distemper in dogs, cats, bats, primates and other mammals and causes measles, mumps, Paget’s Bone Disease, MS and other diseases in humans.
German researchers have known for decades that if the measles vaccine is administered to dog, the dog will be protected against the Canine Distemper Virus. CDV is a result of revers-zoonosis. (Elizabeth W. Uhl, et al; “New world origin of canine distemper: Interdisciplinary insights” International Journal of Paleopathology, Volume 24, March 2019, Pages 266-278)
MS Treatment
Because MS is caused by a virus, lessons learned in developing HIV medication and a ‘vaccine’ for COVID are now being used to develop new treatment for MS.
Scientific discoveries build on discoveries. The concept of messengerRNA was proposed in 1956. The scientific dots had to be connected. The science of messengerRNA is complex and beyond my high school biology knowledge.
However, I was tipped off to the new research by a 2017 paper I reviewed during my six years of MS research. The paper, by S. Charalampos, et al, was titled, “Multiple Sclerosis and Subsequent Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Case with the Rare Comorbidity…”. It was about a HIV positive man, who had MS, and was accidentally included in a study to test a new HIV drug — a drug that used the mRNA technology.
The study results for HIV were promising and the man’s MS Progression was altered. The MS results were unexpected because folks doing the drug trials didn’t know the dude had MS.
Why Now?
Companies have been working on this new technology for some time. The ‘violent’ injection of huge amounts of money to find a ‘vaccine’ for COVID accelerated research. MessengerRNA meant companies could find a COVID ‘vaccine’ relatively quickly.
The Old Way of Vaccine Development
In very simplistic terms, Dr. Edward Jenner, known for developing the Smallpox Vaccine, found a survivor of smallpox who donated antigen rich blood (serum) that was diluted, purified and injected into another person giving that person antibodies, making them immune to smallpox. Of course it is more complex than that — but you get the idea.
The COVID Vaccine is a ‘Revolutionary Use of Messenger RNA’ — Totally Different.
Moderna Therapeutics write:
“Messenger RNA, or mRNA, plays a fundamental role in human biology, transferring the instructions stored in DNA to make the proteins required in every living cell. Our approach is to use mRNA medicines to instruct a patient’s own cells to produce proteins that could prevent, treat, or cure disease.” For more SEE: https://www.modernatx.com/
The positive side-benefit of mRNA is the development of ‘vaccines’ for other diseases caused by viruses; especially Multiple Sclerosis.
Alzheimer’s Disease
Is Alzheimer’s disease caused by a Virus or is it genetic in origin? It is often assumed to be genetic because several family members can develop the disease. But multi-family members with Alzheimer may also suggest they were all exposed to the same pathogen? Further study is needed.
Summary
Wonderful that Science has finally accepted and confirmed the 1974 research of Dr. Cook and Dr. Dowling identifying the Morbillivirus (Canine Distemper Virus) as the cause of MS. Improved Treatment is now a reality.
Can improved treatment for Alzheimer’s be far behind?
