Good Morning ! Thanks for this information, very interesting. I know about octacosanol and the germ oil, I have beeen able to find some scientific evidence and research about this nutrient and Parkinson disease treatment on rats , but I could not find nothing related to Multiple Sclerosis. Would you be so gentle to point me some links on Pubmed or similar about treatments for MS ?

Sorry for my delayed response, unfortunately I do not have a specific paper to point you to, but I found this information mentioned by Dr. Atkins in his study where he administered 15-30 mg a day for his MS patients. I did find a book mentioned on pubmed though, here is the link
