Motor neurone disease (MND) as it is know in the UK, New Zealand and Europe or ALS, in the states is the name given to a group of
diseases in which the nerve cells - neurones - controlling the muscles that
enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow undergo degeneration( the protein they need malfunctions) and then they die.
With no nerves to activate them, muscles gradually weaken and waste away,
causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech,
swallowing and breathing. The patterns of weakness vary from person to person.”
Think of it like the brain and your muscles a cell phones
and they are trying to text each other and the neurons are like cell sites, the
cell site stops sending out a signal which then causes one of the phone to stop
work and so the text you send doesn’t get to the other phone
It can be passed through families but that is very very very
rare! And is also less common in women and those under 50.
It has a life expectancy from time of diagnosis or 2 to 5 years but people can live up to 20+ years, it all depends on where the illness showed up first and how long it takes to progress

I was diagnosed of ALS/MND in 2020. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then i decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Dr James Ehimare herbal centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me contact him via email (jamesherbalformula@gmail.com ). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others. Don't hesitate to reach him call/whatsapp +2349057856543
