ALS Causes
A.L.S. resembles two other diseases that cause the exact same symptoms.
Multiple Sclerosis and Guilliam Barre.
All three diseases are caused by lymphocytes attacking myeline sheaths. ALS is progressive and generally does not go through the dormancy cycles as M.S.
Guilliam Barre is a virus that typically does not go through dormancy cycles and once you body fights off this virus, it maintains enough immunity to prevent reoccurence.
Recent data suggests that many autoimmune disorders are in fact caused by a virus. Surely, if demyelenation occurrs in known viral infections why can't we suspect viral infections when demyelenation occurrs by way of lympocytes in other diseases. The obvious need not be ignored and everyone reading this posting knows that it is basic knowledge that t-lymphocytes are anti viral cells.
Other recent studies indicate that cytokines, (immune chemicals,) as well as antibodies are identicle in autoimmune and severe viral infections. Why?
In fact, many M.S. sufferers are taking interferon injections. Why? In other autoimmune diseases pharmaceutical companies are going to try to block the production of interferon. Yet, in M.S. several practitioners prescribe an interferon type that is constituted just for M.S. patients.
Viruses are known to attack every tissue in human beings. There are viruses that attack bacteria, parasites, fungus, and there are viruses that can attack a single blood cell, (remember HIV.) Viruses attack collagen, retinas, cardiac muscle, body organs.
So, treatment of ALS, should have several anti-viral elements to these protocols.
There has been much written about toxins causing autoimmune and I am here to say that there is no empiracle, scientific, or collaborated clinical data to support the notion that a toxin causes our white cells to attack myeline. Many of us are exposed to the same toxins as ALS patients yet we do not have ALS>
In fact, most data implicates viral origins. Viruses are known to love nerve tissue.
Viruses are known to hide and live in nerve tissues. Herpes, shingles, Guilliam Barre, swine flue, cytomegalo, etc.
Once again, how to treat ALS is always open for spirited debate. My personal
opinion is that any alternative treatment used against Hep C and HIV and Cancer is fine.
Viruses and cancer hate oxygen, so any therapy that raises cellular oxygen would theoretically fight off cancer, viruses, and autoimmune.
Fatty acids, herbs, and many foods also contain oxygen donors and are wonderful for fighting of viruses.
