My Grandmother had ALS. Before diagnosis she had 4 children. 3 of the 4 children, including my Dad who just got diagnosed, have ALS.

My husband had Lou Gehrig's disease. It ended up where he couldn't swallow or eat. When we move from Florida to Tennessee a nurse said to me have him take Benadryl for allergy medicine we have seen that that changed people with Lou Garrett's if they lost their ability to swallow or eat it brought it back in a matter of about three weeks of taking that medicine. In 3 weeks after giving him the medicine he could talk and eat. He got better I continued him on that Benadryl allergy medicine. He did not die from it but had an abscess that he got and the nurse and doctor didn't take care of it and it killed his pacemaker and his heart.

It's a great privilege coming across your RU-vid channel Dr ubarlo. You have always been there for me health wise. I can vividly remember how you turned up for me when I was down with ALS. Your contribution and care was highly appreciated. You are the best doctor I have ever come across. Thank you so much for the difference you make in the lives of your patients ! Your kindness, sincere caring, and concern make everything better and are a great encouragement Dr ubarlo.

Usually upper and lower body muscular weakness is a sign of ALS

How is there no test…?! That’s shocking.

@michaelschoel8852 7 месяцев назад

There is a conduction test

There are lots of diseases that there is no “test” because there is no specific “cause”. Every disease has symptoms and not all have a specific known cause that can be looked for (the test). It’s not shocking if you realize how little the scientific community actually understands the material world. We know a lot but that is still almost nothing. They don’t want you to know that because then you wouldn’t give them your unconditional trust…
