ALS AND OTHER MOTOR NEURON DISEASES WITH DR. MARTIN BROWN

Dr. Martin Brown presents ALS and other motor neuron diseases by first reviewing their history and clinical course. He then discusses the diagnostic workup and efforts to find anything instead of ALS and finally ends his presentation with a discussion on the standard of care and the multidisciplinary ALS clinic.

    Hello Dr. Brown, i have had most of the ALS symptoms you mentioned. I have had many blood test and lumbar MRI. EMG was done on right hand and lower right leg. Neurologist said i do not have ALS. Would you ever give a definite negative? Thanks

    hi, Dr Brown, not sure if you are still answering questions. Fasciculations 24/7 with mild cramps at times *the area of say a 50 cent piece in both calf muscles* but mostly just twitching (for 2 weeks now) is less likely als? thank you, mark (my neurologist says twitching is benign but wants to do an ecg?? probes inserted into the muscle next week. I know you can't make a diagnose, just asking about the fasciculations section of your slide. thank you

    I think the SMA treatment is Spinraza but it's like 125,000 dollars per injection. Insane amount of money.

    1 year ago I was diagnosed of MND and I have tried all I can to get cured but all to no avail, until i saw a post in a health forum about a herbalist man who prepare herbal medication to cure all kind of diseases including MND , at first i doubted if it was real but decided to give it a try, when i contact this herbalist via his email and he prepared an MND herbal cure and sent it to me via UPS delivery company service,when i received this herbal cure, he gave me step by directions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was totally cured of this deadly disease within 5 months of usage, I am now free from MND ,all thanks to Dr Joshua Ighalo. you can also reach this great herbal doctor for help . He can help get rid of yours permanently.. Also specialize in treating all kinds of illness, HERPES VIRUS, HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES AND MORE. ....

    I think the answer is Freshwater Australia Mint soap, as little as few applications. Hope this helps. #Open Veins#$

    No mention of lyme disease, weird. Lyme disease can look very similar to ALS.

    10min in. Haven’t learned a thing that actually matters. I anticipate to learn nothing. That is, that matters. 11:48 “spreads” what does this tell you?

    I had a stroke and had Botox injections in my arm for spasticity, 10 years later. Then I developed PLS. It started in the arm where I had injections. Then I lost my speech. My swallowing hasn't been affected much, but I do drool sometimes. Botox is a neurotoxin. I would never recommend Botox to someone with MND.

    This was very educational until the part where you talk about pleasure feeding. The term diet doesn't just refer to weight loss, you know that. But surely you cannot expect them to put more toxins into their body like sugars, carbohydrate. Earlier you recognize that the incorrect break up of proteins could be a huge cause of ALS. Don't you think that part of treatment should be nutrition? This is literally the body attacking itself because it's confused about the nutrients it's receiving and going into overdrive survival mode which it cannot sustain, causing the breakdown. Why aggrivate the patient's situation by not addressing nutrition? And furthermore encouraging them to put junk into their system by saying it's ok. It just doesn't make sense at all and I'm sure it confusing the hell out of the body as well.
