Things That Cause MS

By rwboughton Wednesday, September 10, 2008

 

No joke.  Each of the items in the following list has been seriously posited and studied.

 

  1. Epstein-Barr virus.
  2. Lack of Vitamin D.
  3. Milk from cows.
  4. Lack of milk from cows.
  5. Asperteme.
  6. Cigarette smoking.
  7. Military service in Iraq.
  8. Northern European ancestry.
  9. Herpes Simplex virus.
  10. Childhood vaccinations.
  11. Emotional trauma.
  12. Air pollution.
  13. Employment in the healthcare field.

 

 

 

Things that pretty surely do not cause MS (my own presumptions):

 

  1. Masturbation.
  2. Fruit.
  3. Methamphetamine.
  4. Transcendental meditation.
  5. Kafka novels.

More fruit please!

 

I would like to see those studies.  My personal gut feeling about it all is that perhaps MS is much like autism in that there probably isn't one cause for everyone.  There are probably multiple factors and also different forms of MS.  This is just my personal speculation and I have no proof. 

 

Who knows what research will show in years to come.

lol  My mother fried everything or it came out of a can.  I gew up thinking marachino cherries was a fruit because it was in fruit cocktail.

 Funny post.  Is it possible to masturbate while meditating on fruit flavored meth?

only while reading kafka with your left hand.

ha...I laughed out loud on that one.  Since i've never read Kafka, I had to Wikipedia him to see how stimulating of a read he just may be.  I found that he suffered from migraines, insomnia, consitpation, boils and other ailments brought on by excessive stress.  Maybe he smoked and drank milk too.
