Customer Reviews
Biased information- AUTOIMMUNE Theory ERRONIOUSLY BEINGtouted as fact
I found this information being taught as fact, not proven.
NEVER has Multiple Sclerosis been proven to be an AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE . THIS IS PURE THEORY!
This writing is very slanted towards autoimmune theory as it is sponsored by Pharmaceutical companies that sell drugs designed with this theory in mind. These physicians are all paid by these drug companies.
There are other THEORIES (CCSVI/ Zamboni/ vascular) being actively ignored by the neurology community which questions their objectivity. These should be included when teaching about MS. Even if there is no conclusion, to omit it is irresponsible.
Would be a great APP IF IT WERE NOT SO BIASED.
