Adjuvant Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

Motivation: This survey is the result of a large study upon related subjects to adjuvant therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS). It exposes no miracle cures and the word "adjuvant" should be noted, implying the need for other therapy (e.g., high dose interferon-beta) as the primary, more important treatment. In the following pages, various items are exposed for your survey. The main motivation for publishing this review in the Internet is to save you from spending the time I utilized myself: why should other people start from the beginning again?

Language: It is the English I write without any editing. For the purpose of being understood, I hope my writing suffices. The level should be academically and it should not be considered popular literature. Besides, literature abstracts can speak for themselves.
