Why is it that 1 Australian is dying everyday from ALS? Did you know that? What's going on over there? Whether ALS is gene related or not, I believe that there are answers and possibilities out there -- the key is digging deeper AND if someone is really willing to work with you that has an open mind.

Project Title: Brain mutations in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Supervisors: Associate Professor Roger Pamphlett and Dr Julia Morahan (Pathology)
Contact Details: Room 502A, Level 5 Blackburn Building (D06); email: rogerp@pathology.usyd.edu.au; morahanj@med.usyd.edu.au phone: 9351 3381 or 9036 7233

Project Description:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) causes a progressive loss of motor neurons in adults, and leads to death in about 3 years. One Australian dies of this disease every day. Most cases affect only a single member of a family. The cause is unknown, but one possibility is that ALS is due to a gene defect that is found only in cells of the central nervous system. To look for these gene defects, you have to examine the brain cells themselves. Cells can be individually sampled from the brain using laser microdissection. You will be laser-dissecting brain neurons and astrocytes, two cell types that are implicated in ALS. The DNA from these cells will be put on 1,000,000 SNP gene chips, and you will then compare genetic differences in these cells across the whole genome. We hope if a genetic cause for ALS can be found that these patients will be able to receive gene therapy in the future.

There are parasites that invade the system and have been misdiagnosed as ALS -- Lyme is one of them. There are other parasites too. Below are a few excerpts.

What Causes Neurone Death In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS?

One of the most insidious mimics for Lyme disease is ALS. The neurotoxins released by the Bb organism are capable of causing neurologic dysfunction in the central nervous system that produces symptoms typical of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The pathological hallmark of ALS is motor neurone degeneration and death.

Mycoplasma are parasites!

Recently, Dr. Nicolson has focused on various autoimmune neurological diseases such as ALS, MS, Lyme disease and others. For example, approximately 85% of patients with ALS (“Lou Gehrig’s disease”) tested positive for systemic mycoplasma infections, and most of those infections involve M. fermentans and/or M. hominis.

Dr. Nicolson is working closely with Drs. See and Akbarpour on ALS, a condition in which patients lose control of their motor and skeletal muscles over a period of two to five years. Their research revealed that almost all ALS patients have co-infections with a virus from the enterovirus family (a virus related to the polio virus that replicated mostly in the gastrointestinal tract) – and mycoplasmas. The three doctors have been conducting a clinical treatment study of ALS utilizing antibiotics, antivirals and nerve growth factors. They are seeing positive results so far, as measured by increases in muscle strength.

Have you looked into this?

If you go to the scientific publications there is plenty of supporting material on mercury and ALS link.
