More on Wellington "Cluster"

The Morning Journal has more information about the research to be done on the Wellington 'Cluster'. I love the bit from Dr. Patel saying "he believes enough is now known about the disease to rule out environmental causes" - quite amazing in light of all the evidence that the disease isn't strictly genetic. Perhaps he just means that the single, primary cause isn't environmental.

I am so glad that Art is keeping us abreast of this issue. I do not agree with Dr. Patel. It is no coincidence that this prevalence of MS has occurred around obvious industry with environmental violations. I hope a truthful report and honest investigation is made by the health departments involved. Ironically, my sister with fibromyalgia lives only 30 miles from Wellington.
