Exposure to a younger sibling's  infections during the first six years of life helps the elder  child's immune system develop and cuts the risk of multiple  sclerosis later on, Australian researchers said on Tuesday.

NEW YORK  - The abnormal immune response that leads to multiple sclerosis, or MS, is stronger in African Americans than in whites with the disease, new research indicates. This may partly explain why blacks often experience greater disability.

An abundance of vitamin D seems to help prevent multiple sclerosis, according to a study in more than 7 million people that offers some of the strongest evidence yet of the power of the "sunshine vitamin" against MS.
