Received from one of our brothers that has been battling multiple diseases one of which being MS. The articles are old but there has been a new push for more money for the study of the problem.
The first link is from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and yes, it is from September 28, 2005.

and the third link is to the website of National Multiple Sclerosis Society and it is a two page PDF document.
