I do know one success story, so I should share it. A programmer and chemist who moved to my warm, sunny coastal city to die with a severe case of progressive, not RR MS. That was more than twenty years ago. He had been told he probably only had months to live. His disease has been halted for more than two decades, but much vision and some movement hasn't returned since nerve damage tends to be permanent.
I've known him for maybe fifteen years, and he's in better shape now than ever.
He swears antifungal treatments are the reason, but he also gets several hours of direct sun every day. His fungal beliefs have altered his diet some, but I don't think he's doing anything very unusual there.
Re sun: melanin is known to be good at killing viruses (etc, etc) so the Epstein-Barr connection might be relevant here. We've learned revolutionary things about melanin in the last two decades, which hasn't reached clinical practice at all. Such a delay is par for the course.
This is speculation of course (and his speculation varies from mine) but since it's the one case of definite results that have held for decades, I thought I should report it.
