Guest voiceover: Dr. Larry Goldstein
ALS is caused by the destruction of motor neurons. Find out how scientists are attempting to use stem cells as trojan horses to repair the injured motor neurons and produce new healthy motor neurons!

My mum is 83 and had great difficulty speaking and swallowing much of anything. Food was getting trapped in her throat and blocking her air way was happening more often. she battled for each breath. The riluzole did very little to help her. The medical team did even less. Her decline was rapid and devastating. The psychological support from the medical centre was non-existent and if it were not for the sensitive care and attention of our primary physician, there she would have died. There has been little if any progress in finding a cure or reliable treatment. Acupuncture eased her anxiety a bit. this year our primary physician started her on Healthherbsclinic MND natural treatment, 6 months into treatment she improved dramatically. It has been a complete turnaround with her speech, she no longer needs the feeding tube to feed, the treatment is a miracle. She recovered significantly!

My wife passed away from ALS, and I mentioned that to the neurologist about stem cells, but she said the cost outweighs the means

​@@michaelschoel8852i would have done anything to save my wife. I cant believe that our nation, the "most powerful" int he world and doesnt care about the sick unless they can get money out of them
