Hard to say, but I will which makes your point 100% valid.... my twin did not even seek medical treatment til the last 3 months of her life! She died June 18th of ALS. She was convinced it was mold and candida...would not listen to any of us to see a Dr. She was being ripped off by a homeopathic quack! She got a hyperbaric chamber and infra red sauna, oxygen machine, and took 90 herbal pills a day. Her first signs were 1.5 years ago. She died in only 1.5 years! Herbs will not help you win this fight! That was my twin and while I am mourning I read that crap. He should be reported.

    Thank you, I have watched some of your videos and appreciate your positivity and searching for answers mind. You mentioned once about toxins in the environment that may be a factor. I agree, I was poisoned 5 years ago by breathing a leaking chemical vapor for 3 months that gave me bad headaches. I only was exposed to it and mistook it for something else. I was removed from that exposure but soon found my strength disappeared and my arms and legs were very weak. Falling over a few times a day and could hardly lift anything and dropping things. Twitching random muscles and saliva turned to jelly and strong metal taste for months. Could hardly chew food as jaws too weak and food just fell out of mouth. Now 5 years later still fall over but only a few days apart or some days a few times but still weakness in arms and legs. I drive trucks and look ok but when I crash to the floor it’s embarrassing when the boss sees me. I had a tradesmen do some tiling work at the house and I helped him carry a water heater but had to let it down on ground as too weak. He gave a chuckle like he couldn’t believe I couldn’t carry that box. He wanted me to hold a small cabinet against wall as he screwed it in place but I had to call my wife to come to my rescue as my arms were too weak. He just took it off me and held it himself and screwed It in. I told him why I was like this after I fell over in the hardware store when walking with him and he realized then my problem. My lungs have a jelly coating on them which makes my breathing a struggle sometimes. This all from a chemical poisoning so could something like that cause ALS is my question.

    • @adanoid
      @adanoid ปีที่แล้ว

      @Ansh Bawa The chemical vapours I believe was diesel and Adblue mixture. Adblue is used in trucks to clean the carbon from the exhausts. The label used to say “Don’t touch or breath this chemical as known to cause neurological damage…” in invertebrates I think it said. I believe it caused me a neurological issue which I still have. Fell over twice today at work. Chemicals are very hazardous to our bodies and that’s why I think ALS could be triggered like this. Not diagnosed with anything as most doctors are not interested in investigating things unless your carried in on a stretcher. Hope you find this helpful.

    ALS has nothing new as far as treatment. They are not under funded. Think of the people who give their life savings, they do fundraisers constantly and they have nothing to show for it. We are no closer than when Lou Gehrig was diagnosed. It's shameful and they don't do anything for free for the patients. Patients have to pay for the trials. Too many people who are on the payroll and not enough research. They are all over the world and are not for profit so they pay no taxes. All the money raised and donated should all go on research. They are always building new facilities and hiring more workers. Someone should look into how they spend their money and show them how to budget and be more frugal. With ALS there's no time, it progresses fast and from diagnosis to death is not long. The new drug isn't new, it's from Japan for post stroke patients. Don't take the riluzol because it speeds up the progression. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen, no progress in helping patients who are being diagnosed. It's not a rare disease anymore either.

      I fully understand your angry but don't take your anger on those who have ALS and those who are trying to find a cure.
      I myself was diagnosed in 2012 at age 56 with Primary Lateral Sclerosis-PLS which is the Variant of ALS(Lou Gehrig disease). At every clinic visit I'm nervous that my diagnosis is going to change. Thankfully, 7 yrs later I'm still stable with just a few minor symptoms such as . . . Dsytharia(swallowing), slowed speech- I sometimes use a text to speech app on phone and tablets. I try to exercise every day to keep my muscles strong and healthy so they don't begin to atrophy. Also, the other newest drug along with Riluzole is Radicava. Telling people not to take what's available to them isn't right especially if they think it might help them.

      El 90% de los casos de ELA no se deben a genes, sino a factores ambientales como diversas toxinas nerviosas o lesiones en la cabeza. Si no tiene ELA genética, no puede transmitirla a sus hijos. 1 de cada 400 desarrolla ELA en algún momento de sus vidas y el 90% de los casos no se deben a los genes. Por eso es una enfermedad tan desagradable. Cualquiera puede enfermarse

      Ruth B, su comentario es absolutamente miserable y demuestra que no se ha enterado de nada.
