  • During #HuntingtonsDisease Awareness Month, Yousef Gamal El-Din speaks about the devastating illness in detail for the first time. It’s the untold story of the pain, the struggle and the green shoots of hope.
    Yousef’s mother was diagnosed with the disease in 2007. Over the years, HD took its toll on the entire family. And now Yousef is at a 50% risk of inheriting Huntington’s disease and seeing the same fate as his mother.

    I am from a family with huntingtons. I have researched everything I can find on it. After taking care of my brother I know that making a decision to end one life should be an option . This is one of the most cruel diseases that could ever happen to anyone. I'm 73 thankfully I'm ok so far but I still have that chance but I may be to old to recognize the sytoms

    My granny had this horrific disease. It eventually took her life. She was 62. My dad has it though he is not symptomatic yet, he just turned 54. It spared my aunt. I've known that myself and two siblings each have a 50% chance of inheriting this disease since I was 13 but it did not stop me from having children, in fact I became a young mom. My dad became a grampa. All I remember of my granny was the chorea and being uncomfortable around her. I have three young children and it is simply unfathomable to me to even consider what their risk is, though it is with me every moment of every day. This disease is ruthless. In an instant, everyone you love either had it, has it or might have it. I pray peace to everyone in the hd community that our time will come where there is a cure.

They also spend billions giving military aid to foreign countries while the people here in the USA are suffering. We need money for research & possibles cures or even help with Brian Deceases, food security, homelessness, and so much more. It's insane to me where they spend our tax dollars.

    I found a treatment as I have a young man who I visit because he has been like a brother to my sons since his mother was diagnosed with HD 30 years ago and now he is quite bad himself and in care. The trouble is that although I got a copy of a mouse's brain free almost except one black spot of the tangles of protein, they have taken it off the net. Does anyone want to try cat's claw a rain forest bark as it seemed to help but they just suggested it might help with Alzheimer's and of course the drug companies want to make it into a drug to justify the high charges. God always provides a solution in the flowers of the field as it says in the bible. The patient has rejected it perhaps because his mind is already affected according to the medical people and I can't force him to try it.
