Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also know as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. There are two different types of ALS: sporadic and familial.
To help you understand more about this disease, we’ve put together a list with some facts about ALS you should know about: (source: ALS Association website)
1. Most people who develop ALS are between 40 and 70 years old and are usually diagnosed around the age of 55. More than 50 percent of all ALS patients live more than three years after being diagnosed, even though the average life expectancy of a person with ALS is between two and five years.
The ALS News Today forums are a place to connect with other patients, share tips and talk about the latest research. Check them out today!
2. The most common form of ALS is called “Sporadic ALS”. In the United States, this form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis represents up to 90 to 95 percent of all cases.
Did you know that diet may influence the progression of Sporadic ALS?
Made device for reading human thoughts / human mind reading machine / Brain computer interface. In particular, I have created a perfect Speech Generating Device for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis / ALS. Assistive technology or Augmentative and alternative communication. About the problem look : Jack Gallant, Tom Mitchell and Marcel Just; John – Dylan Haynes, human mind reading machine. The discovery has not been published.
That’s really quite interesting Syren. Thank you for sharing. What are you plans for further development or testing?

Dear Tim Bossie! I made revolutionary (! ) discovery – first practical device for reading human thoughts or Brain Computer interface.
I live in Russia and I can’t to publish my discovery!
Thank you for sharing. I have a family member with ALS. It’s.a
very bad illness. Sadly it’s all down to money in the end.
If you can afford stem cell therapy it may buy you a few more years. Then the inevitable Death .
Think about NAD+. It has been shown to stimulate neuronal stem cell proliferation and reverse effects seen in a mouse model for MS.
About $1/day if you include a sirtuin activator as a cocktail.
Jagjit my name is jasdeep from Sydney Australia. I too have family member with this disease
It sounds sick but since im just a high school student i didnt understand half of the words but ill take your word

My husband was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) when he was 61 years old 4 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. His arms weakened first, then his hands and legs. Last year, a family friend told us about Rich Herbs Foundation (RHF) and their successful ALS TREATMENT, we visited their website www. richherbsfoundation. com and ordered their ALS/MND Formula, i am happy to report the treatment effectively treated and reversed his Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), most of the symptoms stopped, he is able to walk and able to ride his treadmill again, he is pretty active now.
I am so excited to check that out. How is your husband doing now?
I was diagnosed about 1.5 years ago. Thank you. Shirley S.
There is no cure for ALS/MND, Stop giving people false hope!!
