Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also called motor neuron disease and Lou Gehrig’s Disease, affects about two out of every 100,000 people worldwide. When a person has ALS, their motor neurons - the cells responsible for all voluntary muscle control in the body - lose function and die. Fernando G. Vieira shares what we know (and don't know) about ALS.

    My father died of ALS in 2005 after 3 years in hospital on a respirator. It's truly one of the worst diseases I can imagine... being trapped in your own body, unable to move or communicate, feeling pain or a simple itch and unable to do anything about it. In the end, he couldn't even move his eyes, which was something the Neurologists said would never happen because eye neurons are connected directly to your brain, not through the spine. Eye movement was the only communication method we had, so losing that made things tough. I was 26 when I told the Dr to pull the plug on my own dad. I hope we cure this horrible disease one day, but it's so mysterious, and so different between patients, it may take a very long time. Thank you for this video, TED-Ed!

Everyday my dad's health depreciate keep losing weight and strength a friend advised me to try DR OKOLO ALS herbal formula that she use to cure her dad's heart disease and I was reluctant about it until after a second thought I decided to give a try because no harm in trying immediately I contacted him he assure me my dad will be cured within few weeks of medication and he sent me the medicine and I applied it on my dad as advised by DR OKOLO within 6weeks of using the herbal formula my dad was cured and my dad is free from ALS I went to the hospital that said there is no cure to ALS and informed them about my dad's healing and they were surprised you can contact DR OKOLO via email drokolosolutioncenter@gmail.com via WhatsApp+23407031895935 he also cured diseases like HIV/AIDS HERPES CANCER DIABETES

    Tragically, the Ice Bucket challenge that raised millions of dollars for ALS charity... the charity was fraudulent. It says on its website that only a small fraction of the proceeds go towards ALS research and helping ALS sufferers.That says a lot for society, people's concern for charity is it making them look good, not in being good.

    Almost three years ago, when I was 13, I lost my dad to ALS. He was diagnosed when I was 7, so I grew up around the disease which in my state is rare. I feel that after the ice bucket challenge lost its popularity, most people forgot about ALS or just stopped caring and spreading awareness. Seeing channels as large as this one sharing videos about it makes me so incredibly happy because it's so easy to feel alone in this situation. Thank you for creating this & spreading awareness❤️

    My Great Grandmother passed away from ALS a month ago, she was suffering from it for months and it put a strain on my dad’s side of the family. She had to be moved to another nursing home to get better care and her health only deteriorated from there. She could barely move or communicate, starting hallucinating (or something like that), and needed people to take care of her constantly, it was heartbreaking and as if she was trapped in her own body. We were all very sad to see her go, but relieved that she isn’t suffering from ALS anymore. We love you and miss you Great Grandma… Rest In Peace.

    Pantoja Family Sorry for your loss. ADS is equally a death sentence along with many other diseases. If you get AIDS, you become isolated from the society and you can die anytime after HIV develop into AIDS. ALS is a very painful, taking the fact that you can't even move your muscles and nobody even knows how it occurs, just worsening the condition. I hate why humans can get so many types of diseases. It's like nature is making more different types of guns and war machines to kill humans with.

    Thank you. Lily you are very kind. It is sad, not so much for the dying part because we all know that it will happen someday. The problem with ALS is that it takes you away slowly and for those of us who stay behind and are fortunate enough to take care of our love ones, the everyday changes of the person...seeing the slow wasting away of their bodies and movement and voice until they become a skeleton also ages you slowly and kills you slowly without you ever noticing because your entire day and night is about making them comfortable, and figuring out how to make their last days the best ones possible.

    Pantoja Family ALS reminds me of the popular anime ' Your Lie in April' **sniff sniff** . Anyway, if I ever got ALS, I will try to make my last days memorable and then instruct someone to let me die instead of taking me to a hospital bed which will basically be a torture prison. I keep wondering how 7.6 billion people are still alive with these diseases, syndromes, viruses and whatever other war machines nature has in it's arsenal. Is it just me or sometimes I feel like doing hard work and studying is going to useless because in the end, you're probably going to get hit by one of a trillion of nature's human killing disease and what not, before being able to fulfil a dream you worked for since childhood. Kind of depressing thought.

    I see your point Lily, but see for us life itself took a whole new meaning after facing ALS. You know people would ask us how could we do it everyday, but in it wasn't about us. You see she became paralyzed, she lost her voice, and yet her eyes were so alive. She had the most beautiful and gentle smile. She projected such peace. We learned so much from her. Lily work hard, study lots, travel, love deeply and make lots of memories. Live the best possible life you can, because if by chance something like this disease happens you might not be able to move but your mind will never be still. The people that loves you will come to your aid and motivate you to fight to the very end. Never forget that. Keep living and never fear. Have no regrets. Have peace and be in peace always.

    My uncle (grandmother’s brother) was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease ~5 years ago when his tongue started spasming- he lost the ability to talk and eventually swallow and had to have a tube into his abdomen. He volunteered himself for clinical trials at UCL and after he died some researchers invited us to look at what they were doing- one was looking at gut flora (bacteria in the bowels) and another looking into the transport proteins in cells that move organelles.

    Stephen Hawking had a very rare form of ALS, that is why he lived for so long. With ordinary form as was mentioned in the video, he would die within five years as usual.

    My dad had this for 2 years before he passed. Absolutely dreadful disease. The sooner we find a cure, the better.
