Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also called motor neuron disease and Lou Gehrigs Disease, affects about two out of every 100, 000 people worldwide. When a person has ALS, their motor neurons - the cells responsible for all voluntary muscle control in the body - lose function and die. Fernando G. Vieira shares what we know (and don't know) about ALS. Lesson by Fernando G. Vieira

I dont know why, but I somehow have the feeling that teeth whitening stuff and toothpaste are a big contributor to neurological diseases like ALS. I feel like toothpastes and teeth whitening stuff are a big contributor to neurological disease that forms later in life, maybe because when I used this stuff, for even a short period of time, I felt severely neurologically impacted, and I never used them for long, not even a year, maybe 2 months. I dont know what exactly is in teeth whitening stuff but I have the feeling that whatever it is (I mean bleaching your teeth does something else to your body) is a contributor to severe neurological disease. Whatever is in it is probably in other stuff as well, Im not saying that even one of the ALS patients has to have ever belachend their their teeth once in their lifes, maybe the reason is fluoride? This always sounds like flat earth stuff (no hate) because everyone is bashing fluoride these days, but realistically fluoride is one of the biggest and most used toxins in history and also the most ignored one still. They used it in World War I to make people neurologically unwilling, maybe the long term effects of severe fluoride exposure is ALS, most of the times you wont even know that youre exposed to fluoride since it is in water and stuff

I'm not gonna assume that I have hypochondria since I'm never diagnosed with one but I've always feared suffering from chronic illnesses, but out of all illnesses out there in this world, I've always feared ALS the most, I just find it scary because of how ALS can just come suddenly and can get worse as time goes on, I've always feared death as well, and the fact that ALS makes most people suffering from it to only have 2 - 4 years left to live just scares the heck out of me. I know there are still a lot of deadly diseases such as cancer for example (Whatever type of cancer it is) but I'm not scared of cancer as much as I'm scared of ALS, because cancer is quite treatable if you get an early diagnosis, that's why I'm not entirely anxious about it.
Edit: I do realize however, that as time goes on, there's always an advancements in a lot of fields, from technology, medicine, economy, politics, etc. And with that in mind, I hope someday there's a cure for ALS, after all, I also feel bad for people suffering from this disease, it's just depressing.

Saying ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease people may not visualize. perhaps best to say Stephen Hawking's disease?
Any thoughts on Dr. Dale Bredesen's work that suggests ALS is caused when the glutamate around your synapses accumulate? In many cases, brain disorders are a result of a bad organisms (bacteria, fungi) in the brain!
Dr. Dale also suggests Alzheimer may be caused when glucose utlization is low in the temporal and parietal cortices. He recommends a ketone diet (ex. ketoflex 12/3) to get BHB levels to 1-4 mmol/L. Also, measuring mean SpO2 while you sleep, it should be close to 100%.
Chris Masterjohn says you need about 500mg of choline a day. most people don't get it, and therefore recommends supplementing with Alpha GPC. Other nutrients that people are often deficient in: Potassium, Vitamin-D, Magnesium, Iodine, Zinc.

Good day my friends. I was diagnosed of ALS/MND disease in 2016. Despite how long ALS/MND has existed and how many fine human beings are lost due to ALS/MND, it is embarrassing to know that our doctors still tells us there is still no effective treatment. My life was gradually coming to an end, until I saw World Herbs Clinic webpage(ww w. worldherbsclinic. c om) on google during my research for alternative help for ALS/MND. I knew health is wealth thus I decided to give it a try, thank God I did. I got the ALS/MND HERBS FORMULA four working days after placing an order. OMG I started noticing change all over my body after one month of taking the herbs formula, My ALS/MND was completely reversed after 3 months of usage. Now i'm happy and free from this deadly disease.

It is really very simple. The 'establishment' (big pharma, gov. doctors, etc) is only willing to look at space alien molecules (patent medicines) for a cure. Obviously NO problem is truly 'cured' by such a thing, but most problems CAN be cured by natural means if the appropriate support can be found. Consider the 'patient' in Fl. who has had als for 31 years, and can still talk, and control an electric wheelchair. She supports her health with cannabis. It would seem that some other support is ALSO needed, and has yet to be found.

As long as greedsters and big pharma continue to run the show, this disease like many others will never be cured only treatable if one has enough money. Creating a big business out of the medical industry, defeats the entire purpose of its own existence. We cannot keep labeling life with price tags and dollar signs.
Mankind is empowering and allowing its own devolution.

Hawking lost the ability to walk, to talk, to move his arms and hands to feel his wife and children, but he never lost his mind and was able to learn how to soar above his situation.
We lost a good man when Hawking died and I think we should realize how many people like hawking arent born and never will be born and how lucky we got to have a man like him.

Maybe if people if uncurable diseases (if they know they have one like ALS before their 40s) stop giving birth to children then your child wont have to suffer because u were so egoistic to become mother or father. just adopt. i know it might wont be the same but don't just put your child to a fate he might wish he wouldn't have born.

Lies: we are working hard to cure ALS.
Truth: we don't care about treating ALS because it won't make enough money.
At least tell people about the truths, not lies. Ice bucket challenge didn't happen from nowhere. And even with the funds that came from this challenge, new medicine has arrived; after 22 years.
