Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
is commonly called Lou Gehrig’s Disease after the Yankee Baseball player
that died from the disease. ALS
is estimated to afflict 30,000 Americans with most patients dieing with 2-5
years of diagnosis. Typically
the illness presents itself after age 50 but can strike both men and women
at any age. The disease only affects the muscles of the patient progressing
to total paralysis. It does not
affect the mind or the senses. The
cause is unknown and there is no cure.
