    Scientists discovered the source of multiple sclerosis to be the mononucleosis family of viruses.

      Do you have a source for that? As I have close friends affected by MS I’d be really interested in reading a paper about it and sharing it with them.

      From my initial searches I can’t seem to find anything else than this being a proposed theory among others.

      Edit: I’ve found this article https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/study-suggests-epstein-barr-virus-may-cause-multiple-sclerosis suggesting it’s at least one of the factor but not the source of it.

        I found this one but it’s locked behind a Paywall so I can’t tell you the full story. I did however find that it’s linked to or referenced by 35 other sites, most of which are reputable science sites

        https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-023-00775-5

        Edit: another that is talking about the next stages of research now they discovered this

        https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/cti2.1451

          Thanks, that’s really interesting. I’ll try to find the opened paper somewhere else, but the abstract already gives a lot of interesting informations :)

              Yep that’s what I was alluding to :). Unfortunately the first DOI did not return a result. I’ll probably email the contact author. They usually are quite willing to send the PDF.

          Is there a non youtube source? It’s not in the description.

      This seems so out of left field that I wouldn’t have believed it save for me actually looking it up myself

        I mean that does prove it fits the OP well, doesn’t it?

      This is not new. My mother was diagnosed with MS over a decade ago and this was a theory then. I also have an auto immune disease and it has been linked to mine and pretty much every one of them including long COVID. As far as I know I’ve never had it.
