Recent research has been conducted by Dr. Philip De Jager of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and Dr. Barbara Stranger of the University of Chicago, mentioned in the American Journal of Human Genetics that points toward
the over-active immune system of auto-immune conditions like MS being the next
step in evolution.
In a world where our immune systems were having to fight stuff off left right and centre we would have been the next step in creating better evolved, infection fighting beings as our immune systems fought off everything but, then we went and discovered cleanliness and antibiotics.
It seems our immune systems were kicking their heels, bored with nothing to do and started chewing themselves (much like an under stimulated pet?)
