Yes I can ascribe it to genetics firstly, my brother and sister both poor detoxifiers and both with MS, they have no grasp of detoxification and if anything are anti - they both believe the NHS who tell them there is nothing that can be done, I think I would have gone the same way had I not trained in nutrition. I don't believe MS is a disease, I think it is mercury overload which I have had all the symptoms of, thankfully decreasing now, and then there was my lifestyle choices, years of heavy drinking and drugs which made me low in magnesium zinc and B vitamins, not to mention loads of mercury fillings. the warning signs started appearing just after the menopause which figures because a route of elimination was lost - I started to get colder and even more constipated, so for me the genetics I could not help, but the drink/drugs/amalgams all self inflicted through ignorance and also feeling quite well for most of my life.
