Various studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that at least partial MS reversal is possible. Multiple sclerosis reversal seems to occur when nerve cells, previously demyelinated by autoimmune processes, undergo remyelination. Remyelination helps to repair the lesions associated with MS. When this process occurs extensively enough, it can result in the reversal of MS-associated disability.

During MS, the myelin sheaths and the cells which manufacture them (known as oligodendrocytes) are damaged. Demyelination is the immediate result. Typically, when demyelination results, spontaneous processes of repair are triggered. Remyelination occurs: New myelin sheaths are created, making it possible for the nerve cells to conduct impulses efficiently once more.

Remyelination occurs naturally in MS patients, especially in the earliest stages of the disease. The more extensive and complete remyelinization is, the greater the patient’s recovery, and the more likely it is that the reversal of certain symptoms will occur. In patients whose MS worsens …
