This CDC iPad application, brought to you by the National Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Registry, has been designed as a way for users to easily access the closest ALS service providers nearest the user’s ZIP code. The application allows a user to pick a particular type of ALS facility (Clinics, ALS Association (ALSA) Chapters or Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Offices), enter a valid ZIP code and perform...........................
In January 2010, a person diagnosed with ALS had contacted Stowe about his treatment protocol. Stowe informed this person he would benefit from the treatment protocol and falsely stated it had been reviewed by all levels of the FDA. As a result, Stowe was paid $47,000 for drug products not approved for the treatment of any human disease.
On September 5, 2012, Morales was also convicted in this case. He admitted he sold an unapproved drug product to Stowe called SF 1019 knowing Stowe would sell this product to patients. Morales falsely represented to the public that he had extensive training and experience regarding stem cells and stem cell therapy, when his exposure was actually limited to attending seminars and reading materials published by researchers........................
Researchers looked specifically at Alzheimer's disease, ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), and Parkinson's disease -- all of which involve damaged brain cells. They found no relationship with Parkinson's, but the former speed position players died of a disease that resembled Alzheimer's and ALS at three times the rate of the general population.
Scientists studying brain injuries are bringing together findings from two different settings -- the football field and the battlefield -- to develop new ways to protect football players, and to identify new insights into preventing what was once...
The National ALS Registry is a program to collect, manage, and analyze data about people with ALS. This information can help doctors and scientists learn more as they work toward a cure.

"What is Love? Love is when you are diagnosed with ALS and you Don't Give Up cause you want to be there with your family. My dad has shown me that and I am going to carry that on and show my son the same thing." [Dante-Steve Smith's son]
We all know how devastating Parkinson’s disease can be, negatively affecting quality of life for the patient, as well as the family. At this time, there is no cure for Parkinson’s. Symptoms are standardly treated with medication to provide relief. But current research is showing that medication PLUS exercise is better than medicine alone!
A few days ago, local Fox TV stations aired a story about a medical trial by Neuralstem (CUR), which they described as “one of the most powerful stories we’ve ever reported.” Ted Harada is the eighteenth and final patient to receive human stem cell transplant treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients as part of a clinical phase 1 trial being conducted at Emory. He is also one of the first patients to ever experience a partial recovery from the dreaded disease. It is also called Lou Gehrig’s disease (the famous sporting star Lou Gehrig died of the disease), and sometimes motor neuron disease, because it is a gradual degeneration of the nerves that control motor functions. It progressively incapacitates the body’s motor functions to the point
Thank You to EVERYONE that helped make our 6th Annual TEAM Cure ALS Foundation Golf Tournament a AWESOME SUCCESS!!
Each year our Annual TEAM Cure ALS Foundation Golf Tournament hosted by former Oregon State Football player Mike Lopez Jr. brings together past and present Oregon State Beavers and University of Oregon Ducks. They may be rivals on the playing field but when it comes time to help Mike "Stay Committed to a CURE" for ALS they rally and MAKE IT HAPPEN!
We are truly blessed to be surrounded by so many Friends,Family,Fans and total strangers that have become a part of our TEAM & Family in this FIGHT to find a CURE for ALS.
Your Hardwork, Donations, Love & Support helped us once again Accomplish our Mission which is: To Help ALS Patients & their families by offering hope through raising funds for research, patient services and educational ALS Awareness.
We could not do this without ALL of YOU! "ME Becomes WE"
~T.E.A.M.-Together Everyone Accomplishes More!~ We are Eternally Grateful
Patients with terminal illnesses are refusing to wait for physicians, drug companies and the FDA to find cures for their diseases.
Jason Harris's Biography...................
I am a video editor working in Westchester, NY for a publishing company. I have always wanted to make documentary films but have always been held back by my own fears.
In January of 2011, my brother Ben Harris was diagnosed with ALS better known as Lou Gehrig's disease. After hearing this news from my sister, I immediately educated myself about the disease. That night, I watched youtube videos about ALS until the sun came up. After that night, I realized what my brother's fate would be. I still have not recovered form the news and I never will. I felt a sense of hopelessness - that there was absolutely nothing I could do.
So two months after this news, our family had a family reunion in Arizona. I remember walking up to my brother that first morning expecting to see him declining. But, that was not the case that day. He told me that he had just entered a drug trail that was making improvements in his condition. Improvements in ALS just don't happen. I knew then I would have to tell his story.
Thank You to the Following for their DEDICATED Funding for a CURE:
The recent research was funded by CVS/pharmacy, ALS Therapy Alliance, Project ALS, P2ALS in New York, the Angel Fund in Boston, the ALS Association, and the National Institutes of Health.
Medical maestros trying to unravel the mystery of Lou Gehrig’s disease have made a breakthrough that may someday put the brakes on the rapidly paralyzing illness — a huge leap forward that the state’s top docs say could add years to patients’ lives.
People with ALS who have a specific genetic signature within a region on chromosome 1 have an age of onset that is approximately two-and-a-half years earlier than those without it.

The NFL announced the largest donation in its history on Wednesday -- $30 million to the National Institutes to Health. The funding is to be used at the discretion of NIH, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
This act of generosity was not generated in a vacuum. Last week, the league announced a partnership with the U.S. Army in pursuit of a similar core goal -- gaining a greater knowledge of the brain injuries that affect players and soldiers. Around the same time, the league filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit seeking damages for 3,400 ex-players and family members who assert the league has been negligent in dealing with concussions..........................
New research shows that professional football players may be at a higher risk of death from diseases that damage the cells in the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease and ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), compared to the general U.S.

Four indicators, or "biomarkers," found in cerebrospinal fluid can help differentiate patients with Alzheimer's disease from those with other forms of dementia, and a different biomarker can distinguish patients with Parkinson's disease from those with parkinsonian disorders, researchers say.........
