Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis

When you consider how few people actually get MS, compared to other diseases, it's just amazing, how many resources are avaiable and how many clinical trials there are and how many people are searching. I was on the clinical trials database and saw that for the US, we're between diabetes and depression - in a sense, that's very good. This shows only the number of searches - which means we're an active and vocal bunch, but if you look at the number of trials, it's huge. The professor makes this point in the book and it's nice to think about. It does also stress how much money there must be in the disease.
