About this title

Synopsis

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, progressive disease of the central nervous system that cripples young adults. MS has mystified and puzzled researchers, since the time of Charcot in the 1800's. It has never been proven MS is caused by a virus. This book reveals a hypothesis, based strictly on reams of scientific material, that air quality, and air pollution, are linked to the disease process. The air environment appears to potentially perpetuate the symptoms of the disease after puberty, and throughout life. The triggers act like poisons to bring about an altered biochemistry and immune system, which creates an insidious condition, challenging the Central Nervous System.

About the Author

The author was diagnosed with the condition of Multiple Sclerosis in 1992, after 6, or more, years of subtle symptoms. The disease was disabling from the beginning, and thus a catalyst for her search into what causes the disease. The idea of spending a lifetime in a wheelchair, losing her mind with cognitive deficits, and more, was disturbing enough to make her proactive to manage, and conquer the disease. The author went on to study human nutrition at the master's level, and received her degree in summer of 2003. She became a proponent of vitamin D3 immediately upon reading a book on its steroid properties in 1998. She attended workshops at the NIH about vitamin D3 in fall 2003, and was invited by Harvard Medical School to do a poster presentation on her master's thesis at Harvard's graduate symposium in Boston, 2004. The topic of her thesis was an epidemiological review of the cluster of MS in the area she grew up in, and the impact of childhood diet, and the environment. The author had faith in her statistical results from her small study, and in the thesis she wrote, which she copyrighted. For the next 9 years the author continued to read and research every piece of MS science that she came across. She continued to attend patient programs, and listen to many neurologists, hoping for new ideas of causation. In the fall of 2011, the author had an epiphany, which brought the ideas of her thesis to be expanded upon in this book, because the triggers became specifically obvious to her attention. The entire reason for her quest to find out the real cause of MS, was the progression of the disease and loss of friends too soon because of Multiple Sclerosis. Also, the preservation, hopefully, of her children's lives from its often devastating consequences. Robin had wanted to be a pediatrician from a young age, and hopes now, that she can serve today's children, and their futures. As a child, she had a concern that pollution would impact the world negatively, and perhaps her child genius understood. The author lays out a foundation of association to what triggers MS, so the world of MS can move forward towards a better hope for the afflicted.
