If you're more than 15 years old, the answer is no, there really is no way to prevent MS that we know of today. Vitamin D has been shown to have preventative effects, but what quantity and at what age are as of yet unknown, and Vitamin D can be dangerous at high levels, so I don't advocate taking excessive Vitamin D.

There are a lot of factors that go into determining your susceptibility to MS, including where you live, your ethnicity, your sex, your family history of MS, and finally exposure to some infectious trigger while you're younger. Even these are still poorly understood.

Suffice it to say that the average person in society has about a 1 in 750 chance of developing MS.
