Inside ALS: The neurons behind the disease

  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that mainly affects the nerve cells (neurons), which control muscle movement. As the motor neurons degenerate, they stop sending signals to the muscles, causing progressive muscle weakness and - ultimately - death. This animation focuses on the mechanisms within the motor neurons that cause them to degenerate. By understanding these mechanisms, researchers hope to one day find a cure for ALS.

    Proteins that build up are what's causing the traffic jam into the nuclear port. Maybe start by finding which protein and use an antibody to remove them, also maybe find a way to sneak past the nuclear port thus minimizing congestion. Wish I was a scientist, instead I'm a hairstylist.

    A rare gene produces the Valosin Protein Disease which can be responsible for Paget's disease ( the bone disease) ALS (MND) Parkinson's and certain types of dementia which is why a variety of these diseases can be found in families where the rare gene is inherited. It might be possible to slow down this degeneration of cells by certain supplements which boost glutathione which is necessary for regeneration of cells involved in tissue building and repair, hopefully scientists will do more research in this area.

Natural herbs can cure all kinds of diseases, including, prostatitis, herpes, als diabetics, asthma, cancer, hepatitis, etc. I have seen it with my own eyes. I was cured of irritable bowel syndrome and my sister and her husband were cured of herpes by Hopkins who uses natural herbs to cure different types of illnesses.

    I did some research and ALS is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction that is caused by exposure to certain pesticides in gardening and agriculture, formaldehyde in diesel/jet fumes, formaldehyde in corpse preservation, pathegons in algal blooms in dirty water. As a result the following professions are higher risk for developping ALS: Professional outdoor sport players, professional gardners, professional pilots and truck drivers professional water skiers, militairy personal; and funeral directors
