World MS Day 2020: Gut Health and Multiple Sclerosis

The World MS Day theme for 2020 is Connection to Self, and nothing is more central than our Gut Health. Dr Wolfgang Marx is a researcher based at Deakin University, Victoria. Wolf will update us on the progress of his research into the effect of gut bacteria on symptoms and progression of MS building on his previous presentation in 2019. Of particular interest to Wolf is the role of polyphenols – compounds found abundantly in spices, fruits, and vegetables – in multiple sclerosis and the gut microbiome.

I was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting MS back in 2006. I am so fortunate that I live in this age where we have the research teams worldwide studying all these different areas.
