This extensively revised and rewritten new edition is specifically addressed to the needs of patients and families living with the reality of ALS. Since publication of the first edition of this book, the understanding and treatment of ALS have changed dramatically. One cause of familial ALS has been identified, and the mechanisms of motor neuron cell death are much better understood. The FDA had approved riluzole, the first drug available for the treatment of ALS. Additional drugs are being tested and others are on the horizon.

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis By Michael Curiel, MD Images (click to view larger image) Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS, is a progressive disease of the nervous system. Nerve cells, called neurons, are located in the spinal cord and brain and normally give signals to muscles. ALS causes these neurons to degenerate, or break down. So, when neurons stop sending signals to muscles, the muscles atrophy, which means they weaken and shrink. This may progress to paralysis. Spasticity is increased muscle tone that can make it hard to coordinate movement, and it may also develop as a result of ALS. What is going on in the body? The muscle weakness in ALS can affect the muscles of the limbs or of the tongue, mouth, and throat. The nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord, called motor neurons, can also degenerate. What are the signs and symptoms of the disease? Weakness often starts in one arm or leg and progresses to the other limbs. Muscles may atrophy or have cramps or twitches. Hands, arms, and legs can become clumsy and stiff. The person may have trouble swallowing, and speech may be slurred. ALS does not usually affect bowel and bladder control until late in the course of the disease. What are the causes and risks of the disease?

Weight loss INFO News About us Product Usage Serving the Internet since Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis / Lou Gehrig's Disease ALS means Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is also known as "Lou Gehrig's disease". It is a rapidly progressive, invariably fatal neurological disease that attacks the neuron nerve cells which are responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. Motor neurons are nerve cells located in the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord that serve as controlling units and vital communication links between the nervous system and the voluntary muscles of the body. Messages from motor neurons in the brain are transmitted to motor neurons in the spinal cord which are known as lower motor neurons, and from them to particular muscles. In the disease ALS, both the upper motor neurons and the lower motor neurons degenerate or die, and stop sending messages to muscles. Not able to function, the muscles gradually weaken, waste away, and twitch. Over time the ability of the brain to start and control voluntary movement is lost. ... more Nutrient / Supplement Importance Helpful notes Mineral supplement a natural good multi-vitamin and mineral supplement will contain these and other items listed: Zinc, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. A daily supplement provides nutrients required for good general health and well being. Deficiencies of vitamins affect all people and especially those with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease.

For Patients and Families Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) What is ALS? Genetics and ALS Center for Human Genetics ALS Research ALS Support Organizations What is ALS? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is also called Lou Gehrig's disease. It is a fatal disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of the motor cells in the spinal cord and brain (central nervous system), which inhibits nerve impulses from being sent to the muscles. Eventually, a person who has ALS experiences muscle weakness and wasting, particularly of the muscles used to move the arms and legs and muscles involved in speech, swallowing, and breathing. The cause is unknown and there currently is no cure for ALS. Genetics and ALS The sporadic form of ALS is the most common form in the United States. People with the sporadic form of ALS do not have any relatives with ALS. There is also an i nherited form of ALS (where multiple members of a family may have ALS) which occurs less frequently. There appear to be both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of familial ALS. However, it appears that ALS may be caused by
