Missing from this list is the very interesting finding that of the 6 or so ubiquitous viruses that we generally all have, apparently having one or more of them is a requirement for MS and some Parkinson's. For example, see https://www.nia.nih.gov/news/links-found-between-viruses-and-neurodegenerative-diseases, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36669485/, and https://www.newscientist.com/article/2304340-strongest-evidence-yet-that-ms-is-caused-by-epstein-barr-virus/. From that last ref: "Now, a study of 10 million military personnel in the US has shown that virtually every case of MS is preceded by infection with the [the common Epstein-Barr] virus. The finding suggests a vaccine against the Epstein-Barr virus could greatly reduce the incidence of MS."
