    The infectious and viral theory of multiple sclerosis (MS) is not supported. Instead, a new theory suggests genetically determined neurohormonal imbalances play a key etiological role in MS.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimmunology
    • Endocrinology
    • Genetics

    Context:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system.
    • Current research has explored infectious and autoimmune etiologies for MS.
    • The precise cause of MS remains incompletely understood, necessitating further investigation into alternative pathogenic mechanisms.

    Purpose:

    • To critically evaluate the existing literature on the infectious and viral nature of multiple sclerosis (MS).
    • To investigate the role of autoimmune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of MS.
    • To propose and explore a novel theory implicating neurohormones and primary hormonal disorders in the etiology of MS.

    Summary:

    • Analysis of literature and original findings challenges the prevailing infectious/viral theory of MS.

  • Autoimmune factors are identified as significant but not sole contributors to MS pathogenesis.
  • A new theory posits that genetically determined neurohormonal imbalances are the primary etiological factor in MS, based on examination of 92 patients.

    • Impact:

    • This research reframes the understanding of multiple sclerosis etiology, moving beyond infectious and solely autoimmune models.
    • It opens new avenues for research into neuroendocrine-immune interactions in MS.
    • The proposed theory may lead to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting hormonal pathways in MS patients.
