As long as you treat just the disease, which, I believe is just the symptom(s) of some other, underlying imbalance, you will never get at the root cause. And as much as we all would like to find some bio-chemical cause, you cannot dismiss emotional/mental, energetic and spiritual aspects of a person in the disease process. Like you said Cheri...the imbalance shows up where there's a weakness that's either inherited or acquired. We are all born with an innate constitution...some strong who can withstand a lot and other not so strong. So the same trigger for you shows up in your BM, for someone else, it's MS.
We are a pretty amazing organism. You wonder how we live as long as we do with all those hazards lurking out there  .
