what causes the als sickness
Some of the most common causes of ALS may include: 1  Heavy metal toxicity. 2  Head and neck trauma. 3  Genetic predisposition.  Low levels of magnesium and 1  calcium. Anti-oxidant deficiency including SOD and glutathione.  Depletion of essential fatty 1  acids. Low levels of vitamin E and vitamin  B12. Exposure to toxins including pesticides.
ALS is almost always caused by Lyme Disease (aka Lymes Disease). The bacteria/spirochete: borrelia burgdorferi is almost always the culprit. It is very difficult to cure due to this parasite, but it can be cured. In fact, Lou Gehrig himself, the baseball player, lived near Lyme, Connecticut.
Currently, there is no cure for ALS and no effective treatment to halt, or reverse, the progression of the disease. ALS belongs to a wider group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases, which are caused by gradual deterioration (degeneration) and death of motor neurons. Motor neurons are nerve cells that extend from the brain to the spinal cord and to muscles throughout the body.
