In this video, we're going to talk about ALS and how it can negatively affect the body. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells. This leads to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually death.
According to "The ALS Puzzle Solved?!", there is evidence that ALS may be related to hormonal shifts and aging. As we age, there is a decrease in protective hormones such as progesterone and melatonin, which can lead to nerve damage and muscle weakness. It has also been suggested that mutations in certain individuals may play a role in the development of ALS.
While the exact cause of ALS is still unknown, this information provides a potential pathway for treatment and management of the disease. It is recommended to supplement with melatonin and vitamin K2, as well as take natural B vitamins and hormones such as pregnenolone to support the body's production of progesterone.
Additionally, infrared therapy has been shown to potentially increase melatonin levels, while resveratrol can help decrease toxicity in the body.

Thanks for watching! Finding the right treatment plan for ALS can be challenging, but I hope this information provides insight and potential avenues to explore. I'll see you in the next video!
My dear husband had been diagnosed with ALS at age 43. He was a healthy man, the doctors always said, his symptoms are "bizarr", took all the possible tests on him, and everything came back "negative". They couldn't find any trigger, anything that could've caused this horrible disease. He lived with it for 9 and a half year, I was together with him 24/7, since he lost all the mobility of his body, totally. But he never lost his ability to speak, and the hope for living with his beloved family for a long long time... 😥Unfortunately he passed away at age 53. It happened 15 years ago, but I still feel the pain of loosing him so young. We miss him every day with my sons and grandsons. He was the love of my life, my best friend, the best father and a great friend for so many good people. I love him forever. ❤

I'm very sorry for your loss. May I ask what was your husband's profession?
They couldn't have done all the possible tests. This is what they told you. But I don't believe it's true.
My condolences
It absolutely does happen to younger people. My husband died at 44 and my cousin died at 38 from ALS. I've met several people diagnosed with ALS that were younger than 50 years old.
its common among caucasian people i never seen someone with also neither in my fathers side nor mothers side
It’s possible they were misdiagnosed and actually had Lyme disease. It’s more common than people think.
my partner was diagnosed with ALS, and died 5 yrs. later at 46. sometimes i wonder if taking a lot of antibiotics as a young person might be one cause. my partner was given lots of them when he was young. and also wonder about diet when a person is young, a crappy diet growing up, junk food....leads to a weak foundation of the body....then things like ALS could move in easier. It's so much about the nerves....
@@zippers2If the antibiotics damaged the liver- it is possible that it is connected.
You're right! My 30-something year old neighbor developed it completely out of NOWHERE a few years ago. He was a heavy smoker of exotic weed and many people around him thought that may have been a contributing factor. But the condition doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason.
My aunt just died last year from ALS. I don't understand because nobody in our family has ever had anything remotely like it. She was a sweet lady that cooked for the church, bible school and our family. She didn't deserve to die that way. I am upset yet curious as to what causes it. I personally feel it is something that is triggered by environment and and all the poisons in todays world. I hope we figure what causes it. R.I.P. Auntie Ann we all love U ❤😢

The vax
ALS gets the best people. My uncle died from it. He loved to play Santa Claus. Had the perfect white beard and gentle spirit. It also got my mom's old boss, the cheeriest guy who went out of his way to help our family during a health crisis.
Same thing in our family, she was tested and did not have the gene
RIP to your Aunt Ann ❤🙏🏽🛐
This comment isn't about this video, but my 10 year old son has been suffering from really bad restless leg syndrome for several years. The internet said a magnesium or iron deficiency which I tried but it didn't help and the pediatrician just said it was growing pains. Thank God I found one of your videos saying it was a vit b1 deficiency. It cured him overnight.
And then my other son 8 years old has had horrible eczema since he was born and I believe it was one of your videos suggesting black current seed oil rubbed on the skin. And that cured his eczema. But even more surprising he has had just horrible night terrors almost every night since he was born, but when I started using black current seed oil on him and his skin cleared up, he stopped having night terrors. I couldn't believe it. I'm very grateful.
Great to hear!
Get a homeopath.
Wow! 🐱👍
@@Ane127where?

My dearest sister just passed away from ALS. It was so sad to see her deteriorate in such an aggressive manner. She went from being a healthy lady to being 99.9 paralyzed. We lost her on February 17, 2024. I hope that a cure is near, as I don't want to see anyone to go through this one. She tried a lot of alternative medicines, but nothing helped. I miss her dearly. ❤

So very sorry for your loss.
Lost my 54YO stepfather to ALS in 1994. Started with a limp in his leg. He died at the stage when they were attempting to put a feeding tube in 3 years into his disease. It was completely devastating. Still painful to think about his suffering all these years later. Bob was an amazing musician, conductor, and professor… and a wonderful father figure to me.
20 y ago my uncle died at the same age, also had a feeding tube, came on holiday here and one night just peacefully passed away. His family in the NL was heartbroken.
So many comments here that bring all the nightmare of my husband's death due to ALS a couple years ago. I can never forget witnessing his weight loss,inability to speak,weakness,muscle twitching nonstop...he opted out of a stomach tube for feeding as he didn't want to lay there... heartbreaking. I miss him terribly
My father died of this about 6 months after symptoms developed. It was deemed service related by VA. He served in the CBs during WW2 in the Pacific. There was a lot of defoliants used for building and restoring air straps. My brother found out about this after my father died. My mother was awarded spouse benefits monthly as well as retroactive benefits
For everyone dealing with this disease, I send my prayers to them. Remember every struggle you go through in this life, there is a reward in thereafter. Stay strong and God will help you through this. Amen
Lost my 45 year old brother to ALS in 2009. 😢 It was awful watching him deteriorate. 😭
I'm so sorry. ❤
So sorry for your loss 😢 that is young 😔
Rip. Too young
I'm sorry
That's horrendous, Janie!
I have researched ALS for over 20 years. The best way to determine if you're a candidate for taking Zinc Gluconate is to have your serum copper and ceruloplasmim checked to see if you have elevated free copper. If so, which proved to be the case in a small 10 person trial, Zinc Gluconate extended life by an average of 3 years and greatly decreased breathing decline by years. FYI.
I'll try it...thank you...where do you buy that ?? Farmacy ?
Zinc picolunate as well ??
@@RobdeKlerk-qg6lc - Hey there. Do you have ALS? I have many tips to improve quality and quantity of life that no other doctor will tell you about. Just Zinc Gluconate (medical or high grade) worked in our small trial. We had an incredible response rate in terms of a marked improvement/slowing of the diaphragm muscle decline as well as much improved longevity (as a result of being able to breathe for years longer than normal). Other areas were helped some but not as much as the diaphragm. We have four of ten patients now who have lived for almost ten years from ALS onset. They all were in the trial and have been on Zinc Gluconate from the start many years ago.
My dad died of ALS….he lasted for two years when he knew something was wrong. He was still working at 74, dropped a big metal box on his foot because he lost feeling in his arm and dropped it. Of course he had to stop when the doctors told him they thought he had ALS (there’s no real test to say he had it.) We actually did what we could naturally. One big thing was he was taking baby aspirin for many years and got him off of that. He had heart surgery when he was 55 so that’s why he took it plus he took meds that he later found out was causing the toxicity in his blood… long story short, we went a more natural route for the two years we knew he had ALS and he actually was taking melatonin for maybe a year or two before he got his diagnosis. My brother looked up all kinds of stuff and gave him coconut oil and carob powder to help with his lungs and to lower his triglycerides. He choked a lot so we didn’t want him to have the effects from aspiration. We tried feeding him less carbs. All in all, it is one of the worst things you can watch a person die from. Started in his one arm and when that went paralyzed, the other arm was started to lose feeling. Imagine not being able to use both of your arms… we tried to keep him somewhat active like exercising his legs, stretching, walking with him. Plus he had sundowners so he was 24/7 care for pretty much the entire two years. I wish a cure could be found.
What about the toxicity? Wouldn’t that be the key in fighting ALS? What I don’t understand is what stops the muscles from becoming atrophied Dr Berg? You’re saying melatonin and B vitamins would do it? I don’t get that. It is interesting what you’re saying Dr Berg and I applaud the effort in understanding this disease/disorder.
I suffer from migraine head aches at least for 25 years. A few years back I developed another problem which was involuntary muscle twitching in my lower legs. I went to a neurologist and he checked me for ALS. The diagnosis was inconclusive and he explained that if it were ALS, there would not be any cure or treatment for it anyway. Then I went to several other doctors and one after the other did their tests excluding the obvious like Magnesium deficiency, low electrolyte, dehydration, even nerve damage caused by type 2 diabetes. All these test were negative yet I indeed had an A1C of 6.7.
No doctor was ever able to diagnose my illness, yet Gabapentin seem to reduce the symptoms somewhat.
This was 10 years ago and I have given up searching for a diagnosis let alone a cure. You just suck it up.
Today I am reasonable confident, it is not the onset of ALS... I am still here.
@@kurtbecker3827 I wish you well…. I truly do. Do what you can and I do think there is something to deficiency in magnesium and a dehydration. One thing my dad developed before he was “diagnosed” was he would eat to the point of he was stuffing his face and we didn’t know why. Then he’d start choking and we were telling him to slow down when he ate. That was probably 8 years before he was “diagnosed.”
You have to lift weights of unused muscles get smaller. Yes, we all need Magnesium. NAC is good too. I also take D3, K2 and Cod Liver Oil daily. Sublingual B (MTHR) and liquid B as well.
@@UTAH100 it’s not as simple with ALS and once it kicks in…. I understand you’re trying to help and give your opinion which is awesome that you take all these supplements. ALS is also neurological and there isn’t any control of over your muscles. It’s a very serious disease that makes things completely frustrating.
@@Spicy_Pita I know- I know someone who had it. I was just answered the question you asked literally. If you lose the ability to lift weights, they will atrophy. I know that it often cannot be stopped but maybe slowed. People try taking all kinds of things but it really never works. Maybe buys a few extra weeks. It is very sad- I feel for you and anyone who has had to deal with this. My friends brother got it from a lyme vaccine years ago. He was young and very strong before that shot. He could lilft 300lbs. over his head. Then he could not lift his fork within about a years time. He died after that.
My aunt died of this in her 70’s. It built up over a 5 year timeframe and the last 3 years of her life left her profoundly disabled and bedridden. Her brain was sharp as a tack up until the day she died but she could no longer talk, eat or drink properly. She weighed about 75 pounds at her death. 😢😢 I miss her.
Samething happened to my mom 18 years ago. She suffered about the same symptoms as your aunt. Terrible disease!
@@nathaliecanada4009 I am so sorry.😢
Parasites and bacteria/fungi have been linked to ALS.
Parasites have also been found in spinal cords of MS patients.
Cancer studies are focusing on antiparasitics as a potential cure.
Fenbendizol…
Just looked it up, you're right, there is a bunch of studied about parasites and fungi potentially being the culprit.
My uncle was diagnosed with ALS in December of 2022... he passed in March 2023... he didn't make it 3 months from first noticeable symptoms, head drop to death.
He also had 4 doses of the experimental injection.
No one will convince me the doses and als diagnosis are not related.
I fully agree with you regarding the shots. 😞
I know another lovely lady - a physician- who took the jabs and she now has aggressive ALS
@@nancybaumgartner6774 I personally had neurological damage from just ONE J&J to keep my job (and other damage).
@@Atheria444 get a homeopath
If you're in a position to do so, would try to get all his medical records from just before the 1st jab (for baseline) and all since. Possibly helpful for researchers to study at some point and possibly even for his closest family to get compensation someday. Longshot but may mean something to you all to eventually have more certainty as to what happened to him. Don't doubt the jabs triggered something ugly especially with his decline so rapid. Condolences to all.
An ALS diagnosis is a process of ruling out other diseases and always requires a second opinion. A severe magnesium deficiency can look a lot like ALS, and untreated, can have progressively worsening symptoms like ALS. I was misdiagnosed with ALS or "some other neurodegenerative disorder". Both neurologists missed, or failed to test for, the magnesium deficiency that was the root cause of my symptoms that went untreated for two years. I dodged a bullet. I feel for those with ALS, an awful way to go.
Look into intracellular glutathione. This has worked better than any medication. There are good published papers on this. I would also get Montmorency tart cherry juice. Don't even consider a glutathione product. There is no good science supporting it, rather, precursors are better since your body produces and regulate glutathione production.
My friend has ALS. How- why did you reach such a level of magnesium deficiency?
It's amazing how many diagnoses can be correct with minerals, and mitochondria support.
Magnesium helped? Thanks for sharing
@@schmuelschperling1459 no idea. I burn thru a lot of magnesium. Seven years later and I still take about 2x normal amount of magnesium to control symptoms.
My husband was diagnosed with ALS st 42, and passed away at 46. It's the worst disease, takes everything from you. Your ability to walk, talk, move, eat, breathe. It's awful.
🤲🏻
My brother in his early 40s as well.
Was he military at any time?
@@i-said-that8539 Yes, he was in the army for 5 years

Please do an MS video too
Vitamin D3 , Fish (Salmon), Vitamin K2 , Lions Mane, Avocado smoothies, Green Veggies, no grains. Get plenty of sleep , do not get stressed. Get lots of sun finally make water your best friend.

Yes! Please!
I was going to post exactly the same response!
i have a video for auto immune and cause and you can read comments to learn more
It is crucial to note that “darkness” stimulates the pineal gland to secrete melatonin whereas exposure to light inhibits this mechanism. There is a range of foods that have high levels of melatonin naturally. These include: cherries, goji berries, eggs, milk, fish and nuts - in particular almonds and pistachios.
Wow! That's good to know...and now I know why I've been craving these so much!
Also IR from the sun also increases subcellular melatonin - which is interesting
@@Drberg I'm trying every day to to do sunning and earthing.... Laying on the ground letting the electromagnetic pulses go through my body and trying to stay out for about 30 minutes to an hour since I'm in Florida... What to be said for sunshine..
@@flamingpieherman9822I would recommend getting your genes tested. I did this and found my body does not convert sun into Vitamin D so I have to take it daily. Anyway there’s a lot of info available to you with gene testing so you are taking the correct supplements and doing the things that help your unique body. ❤
You can also incorporate montmorency tart cherry to stimulate pituitary response yielding glutathione.
Certainly, like Dr. Berg said, b-complex should be incorporated as this also supports endogenous glutathione production.
Dr B I love your channel. Thanks to your tips I have extended my life expectancy from 26 to 34 (present)
I was diagnosed with primary scerlotic cholengitis (PSC) at 26 and was given 2 years given my elevated ALT/AST levels. 8 years later I’m still alive thanks in part to you. You are appreciated 🫡
What are alt or Ast levels ?
You’re a good human for making this video. It’s such a horrible disease and I hope this helps some people prolong their lives if they watch this!
What he states as facts about the disease are contrary to the data even as attested by people here in the comments.
@@marlak1104 that’s fine. Typically insurance companies etc lie and the medical community knows nothing about als. Dr berg has helped thousands with his knowledge not motivated by big pharma and insurance. If what he says helps someone that is a miracle. I know his educational videos have helped me more than any doctor has.
In Britain, we refer to it as Motor Neurone Disease and that's how astrophysicist Stephen Hawking died when he was diagnosed with MND in the 1960s. But the strange thing was he had 2 years to live when he found out about MND, however with some rare luck he had 55 more years to live. MND or ALS is so scary and it's hard to know the actual causes or treatments for that.
I am a fellow CZcamsr and I thank you for this video as this situation hangs over my head everyday since ALS runs in my family (5 people including my father have passed away from it in their 40’s (2) and 50’s (3 people). I struggle with if I should find out if I have the gene or not or just wing it and live my life because we all just never know what will happen in the end. It’s a tough situation to deal with sometimes but I try to not give it too much power over my life and just live each day with hope that I won’t have to deal with it. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
I'm sorry to hear this
Wow, so sorry to hear this Angela, never heard of it running in families. I would not want to know if I have the gene. One of your subscribers, Keep being your positive self.
Dr. Terry Wahls has a talk on the Everything ALS CZcams channel “Wahls Protocol, Using Nutrition for Cellular Health”. Her protocol was designed for MS but I believe it could be preventative for ALS. I’d also check out Dale Bredesen’s protocol for preventing / reversing Alzheimer’s. There’s a lot you can address in your environment to change your expression of genes. There’s a lot of interesting discoveries in epigenetics. ❤
Getting some morning sunshine as well as limiting the use of screen devices at least a couple of hours before bedtime is advised at naturally increasing melatonin. Other tips include keeping your room dark, a morning workout or a walk outdoors, and eating healthy foods like eggs, mushrooms, and cherries while limiting coffee intake during the day as well. My heart goes out to all people suffering from this horrible illness and their loved ones seeing them succumb at it mercilessly. There's so much toxicity going on in this world which is causing many health problems. Keep strong and safe 🙏🏻🌞💜
My sister was diagnosed with it, and it’s progressed quickly… she’s 29.
😢 I'm so sorry
This said the onset is between ages 60 & 70. I've personally known 3 different people with ALS, and all of them were far younger than that. One was in his 20s and the other two were in their 40s.
Lou Gehrig died at 37, never even coming close to his 60th birthday. I had a friend who died of ALS over a decade ago. She was stricken at age 55. Neither of these fit into the parameters mentioned in the vid.
He may have been misdiagnosed with Lyme disease. Being a professional baseball player playing on the grassy fields he likely was bit by a tick or many ticks during his career. We’ll never know but research is out there showing that ALS is often misdiagnosed for Lyme disease. It can be treated with antibiotics with great success depending on how soon treatment begins.
@@GaryBarrett-vm2ix Lyme disease that lasted for 4 years? Are you fcking dumb?
@@GaryBarrett-vm2ix It can also be treated naturally with great success. Teasel drops work.
He is providing data of the "average" ages that people are diagnosed ALS. There will be those above and those below that average age range. You are referring to 2 people out of millions of people who have had the disease since it was furst studied.
So Dr. Berg is not wrong. Only your understanding of data is incorrect.
@@solagratia8573 As I read through the comment section, I see that many, many people of various ages have been stricken with ALS. One was even diagnosed as a teenager. I don't know where Dr. Berg got his data, but I think he should revisit this subject.
My grandmother died from it, and she suffered tremendously. 😢 RIP to her. 💙
The onset of ALS certainly happens when you are younger than 60. 1:15 to 1:23. Dr. Berg should go back and edit this episode. Every other famous case of ALS that I have ever heard of were men who came down with symptoms and were diagnosed in their 20's through their 50's. Louis Gehrig was diagnosed at 35 and was dead at 37.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I wish I had this information a few years ago for my sister. Sadly, she passed away two years after being diagnosed with this horrible illness. She was always incredibly active and full of energy, ALS took everything away from her. She handled it with grace and never complained. God bless her!
I lost my beloved Aunt to this. It was so painful to watch this loving, giving, hilarious and vibrant angel completely deteriorate over the course of a couple years. She was indeed in her 60s and post menopausal. The months leading up to her diagnosis she was experiencing debilitating fatigue. Grateful to have more insight on potential causes.
I'm going to beg to differ on the age part...my best friend was diagnosed at 48 and just died at 52 from ALS. It can and does affect younger people, and he is proof of that.
Audio level is so great now! Thanks for the continuous improvement in production value.
Fascinating information. As we are all getting older, this is something good to know. It can happen to anyone. I pray for those struggling with this disease 💙
I don't have this but I'm so glad you are putting this out there...because knowledge is power!
My aunt passed away from ALS at the age of 50. The disease developed over four years, and the last three years of her life were marked by severe disability, confining her to bed. Those images are painful to recollect. I hope that no one in this world has to endure this disease and the associated suffering. May God bless us all.
Excellent, fascinating and positive description, without falling into the trap of raising false hope regarding what is such a cruel disease.
My friend was just diagnosing with this…I am so glad to watch this video and am sending it to her right now! Thank you for this!
Tell you friend to consider INTRACELLULAR glutathione therapy. That works better than medication.
Please tell him to get a HOMEOPATH.
I have a friend (33 yrs old) who is in near total remission from using bee venom therapy...it's most typically an improperly diagnosed stealth pathogenic infection and has little to do with the factors mentioned above, despite the good intentions. Age is not a factor. It's a wretched disease and deeply sadden for those who suffer it...
The musician Jason Becker has lived with this. His family and friends are amazing caregivers. His father even came up with a special way of communicating that has served him well. His album, Triumphant Hearts was great! He has managed to keep his mind and heart free despite his body... The music transcends the affliction.
University of Michigan is studying why Michigan has the highest incidence of ALS in the country. Praying for the many people struggling with this.❤
I had a family member who suffered with this!
Thank you Dr Berg ❤
Wonderful information, Dr Berg. Love the way you look at things and how you explain them. Thank you so much for your continuous support 🙏🏻
One of the best informative videos you have presented. Thank you.
I saw a few weeks back someone state that they did a parasite cleanse and got rid of their ALS.
I don't know if they really had it after all but, if someone is in this position, try looking into that and see.
Thank you for sharing this information. My maternal grandmother died of that and at least one to two people in each generation in that line gets it. I shared that video with my aunt so she can get it out to the family.
We lost a friend to ALS recently. Its onset was so severe he lasted about 2 years… RIP, my friend.
It DOES happen when your younger. My best friend was 33 when he contracted ALS (MND - Motor Neuron Disease in Australia), so I'm not sure why the author stated it doesn't happen when you're younger.
My brother's friend has it, and she is younger, too. Seems like she has had it for more than 5 years.
@@natashamudford4011 I'm sorry to hear that. It's a hideous disease. My friend passed away in 4 months from when he found out he had it.
of course it does, but most of the people affected are older
(He should have said "mainly" rather than "only".)
You do not contract ALS
This is great relevant information Dr Berg. Love the way you explain everything making it easy to understand. Thanks for your helpful advice 👍🏻🌞
I think you should do a continuous series of videos on your YT channel, Dr Berg, each focussing on an illness and what to take to prevent it as well as what to take/do if you already have it: a sort of ‘dictionary’ of illnesses. And also could you do a general video of what to take in order to stay healthy: we all know about the need not to drink/smoke/eat crappy foods and to exercise but as a yardstick what vitamins/supplements do we need to keep brain and body fired up and powerful? Thank you.
I just added melatonin to my list! I knew a lovely woman who unfortunately died from ALS. She started out thinking she just had some kind of nerve damage in her hands and then regressed rapidly. She passed away only about a year after diagnosis. I believe she was around 60 at the time. 😢
Hi, there are many videos where Dr Berg does NOT recommend taking a melatonin supplement but instead recommends making sure your body can produce it naturally. In this video he makes an exception because you have to treat a very very serious disease and then it is worth taking melatonin as a supplement.
It 100% does happen in younger people. I, personally, had two acquaintances, under 40, who died of ALS.
It's called "Lou Gehrig Disease", and he got it in his 30s.
Dr., i really love the way you speak! It's so calming 😊❤
ASMR for my ears!
Thank you for another wonderful video!
You are incredible ! You're presentation and advice is the best !! Thanking you is just not enough . You're work is VERY much appreciated . I am truly grateful for you .

This sounds like a great series! It would be nice to have more " What I would do if i had....."
Can you do one for eczema? It would be interesting to hear what you would do as a doctor!
I am seeing younger people die of this more recently. My father passed away with ALS it took 2.5 years once diagnosed. He was 62. In looking at the conversation on this, there are more and more people being struck down with this horrible disease. When my muscles twitch, I always think I hope it's not ALS. It can be familial too. My prayers to anyone that gets this :(
I know people who are in their 30's and 40's that are living with ALS
Thank you, Dear Dr. Berg for your kindness by sharing your valuable knowledge. Wish you the best.
Thanks again Dr Berg. Dr Gabor also talks a lot about how emotions play a massive part in not just this condition but many others in the book ‘when the body says no’, it’s a good read and I highly recommend.
My dad just passed away from this. It took a long time to get diagnosis and he deteriorated quickly after diagnosed.
Yes! This is so hard to get diagnosed. It is shocking.

This man is a God sent! Love everyone of his videos! Thank you for what you do.
It’s Godsend not sent
RIP to my brother in law Phil who has just passed away from this terrible and cruel disease, 4 months after his formal diagnosis. It is MND in the UK. Anything we can do to mitigate the effects of this condition is desperately needed, as the impact on the person and their family is terrifying. Thanks.
Excellent video.
Our friend was diagnosed with ALS in his mid-20’s and passed at 56. He couldn’t walk and could barely talk for 30 years. He was always smiling and rarely complained.
So sorry to hear about your friend.
How did he manage to live 20 years
@@mriyke4719 God's will. He just kept hanging on year after year.
Does have breathing problems
I lost my late Mother to ALS back in 2001 💐
Thank you for such videos.. 🙏🏻
My friend, started with foot pain. Took over a year of tests/specialists, to finally diagnose her 5 months ago. Her speech , ability to stand, swallow, are going fast. She’s about 51.
In the 80's in my state, in eastern WA there appeared to be a larger concentration in people who lived and worked in agriguure. they found that in some other agricultural areas compared to urban.
Ive heard of it been triggered by Vax/Poison, someone I know has this (Ex Male Soldier), and its because they had Vax's. I believe this is the trigger, maybe women feel it worse because of hormonal changes. It def plays on your immune system.
In the past 10 years I had two female friends diagnosed with ALS. My first friend who was diagnosed at 36 yrs old and passed away at the age of 39 yrs old (family history). My other friend was diagnosed at age 57-58 and is still currently battling it at age 61.
Thank you so much Doctor Berg. ❤
Thank you so much for this helpful information Dr.Berg, God bless you.
Love the channel. Great Video as always . I had a childhood friend who died 10 years ago, he had ALS and he was in his mid 40s. Extremely rare i guess...because you mention 60 to 70
Lost a cousin to ALS. He was only 29 years old. Lived for a year and a half after diagnosis.
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for all information you share on your videos.
Could you share your thoughts about Urotherapy?
Thanks 🙏🏻
I've got my ALS in 2017, I was 27 and they gave me two to five to live. I'm still alive but not really living. I'm a bit afraid of taking such big doses of melatonin but people trust you and I'll give it a try. Got nothing to loose. Thank you for information.
I have als symptoms since 2019 but I have not been diagnosed yet sometimes I loose so much balance I can’t a walk well or long I have mild muscle weakness but right now my respiratory problems is really depressing me I can life 15 to 25kg I can walk for a few mile I am afraid to run so I won’t have respiratory issue I’m so confused I will 30 this year the symptoms started march 2019
I hope anyone who has Als in your area will go to you and test out these possibilities. My cousin was young when he died from ALS
Thank you this just came up today with a friend
Thank you Dr.BERG
Hi Dr Berg. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this do you think patients with Fibromyalgia are at risk for ALS since it is a neurological disease? I really enjoy your videos. You genuinely care about people's health and suffering. Thank you.
Thank you Doctor. I will try your advise for my father who is diagnosed last month with this dreaded disease.
Thank you Dr.Berg, you are a big help, you helped me and my family , thank you thank you thank you 🙏🙏🙏
My neighbor from diagnosis to his passing was less than 1 1/2 years…tragic disease. I was in disbelief at how his body deteriorated so quickly.
It's getting more and more common
Interesting video! Would be interesting if you did one on Visual Snow syndrome.
My uncle, who is 77, has ALS. He can no longer talk, but he still gets around and tries to live each day to the fullest.
I had a Great Aunt that had ALS. I was a kid when she passed away, but I remember it vividly. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, it’s awful.
ALS has increased significantly in the last 3 years. Why?🤔
MY NEIBROUGH HAD ALS , DRANK COKE AND ATE CHIPS ALL DAY, I REALLY BELIEVE YOUR DIET PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN YOUR HEALTH, EXCELLENT INFO.
Coke and the chips have trans fats them so it was a combination of both
I just commented on the video and then continued to read the comments below. Here is my post "My friend's dad would drink a two L bottle of coke every day and I always wondered how it would affect him later in life. At 72 he developed ALS and died 2 years later. I always wondered if drinking that much coke consistently had something to do with it." So I completely agree that diet has a big role and I think there is something up with coke!
Thank you, Dr Berg 👍🏻💖
Anytime!
Relative passed last year that I share many body similarities with and already have my own Neuro issues. THANK YOU
Not to be insensitive to the subject matter but your new ‘lighting’ is fantastic. I’m a cinematographer(my Aunt also died of ALS)…and the wall lights, your hair light, and your key light are near perfection. Easier to listen and watch this serious topic.
My husband's cousin (she was in her early 60's) just passed away recently with ALS, she lived in Seattle. Her dad passed from it, then about 5 years ago she took care of her brother who passed from it. Terribly sad.
Love this , would be a great series 🎉🎉🎉🎉. WHAT WOULD THIS DOCTOR DO 💯💯💯🥳🥳🥳🥳
My cousin’s husband has had ALS since his early 30s and has been living with it for almost 20 years thus far. So the idea that it only happens to older people is completely wrong.
Tell him to get a homeopath.
I think he should have used "mainly" instead of "only"...perhaps didn't keep proper notes 👨🏻⚕️📝
Does he have breathing problems
Thank you so very much.
