This video explores a highly compelling cause of ALS, how it may have given Lou Gehrig himself ALS, and how the ALS Association is ignoring it all.

    I was debating to myself whether I should watch this video or not. My father passed away from ALS in 2012. Ironically we are from Two Rivers, Wi where that study took place (this is the first I have even heard of it). He was born and raised there. It breaks my heart thinking if we had known this, how that information could have varied his treatment plan and potentially saved or extended his life. Thank you for making incredibly science based and informative videos. I have recently begun a vegan lifestyle and videos like yours help me educate my friends and family better than any I have seen on YouTube.

    My dad died from ALS three years ago. I wish we could have known about this before, maybe he could have been saved. He fished all the time. :(
  • @tomstoughton
    yeah, they cant make money off telling people to stop eating fish
  • @JoshuaOtusanya
    So much value in this video!! Fantastic channel man. I'll be binge watching your videos. Life changing
  • @ImHavinaHoot
    What the what??? My Grandfather had ALS and passed away from complications after living several years paralyzed and on a ventilator. I've never heard of this correlation, thank you for the information!
  • This is a cruel and devastating disease. My heart and soul breaks for anyone suffering from ALS. I'm so skeptical about this. It just seems too good to be true.
  • @TommyHoare
    Very well researched video as always. Love this channel.
  • @727MEOW
    Wow, great video! NutritionFacts brought me here. Your video came up after Dr. Gregor's on this issue. Subscribed to your channel :)
  • thanks so much for taking the time to make this video it helps a lot
  • I have a friend who quit smoking pot and was diagnosed with ALS.. I thought that he should go back to smoking weed but he wanted to die sober. So he did. This was a Very sad loss of a great human being, a courageous Dad and good friend and artist.
  • @lisanloves
    Thank you so much for this informative video. I will share it.

    I complement you on your great work for the betterment of society. Thumbs up and subscribed. Impressed with the amount of source material you provide.
  • ALS is a symptom diagnosed illness, not a caused based diagnosis. It has enough differences between people where there is not likely any one cause. I personally hate seafood. I always have. Rarely I will eat tuna, but usually no. My symptoms started in my hands and feet, and then moved up then now it is going for my throat. My type of ALS appears to be related to toxins, not to what you are talking about. I lived next to a cotton farm for many years. If you look into it, there is also a connection between toxins like agent Orange, and many diseases. ALS is supposedly not one according to the VA website, but there is enough people exposed to Agent Orange and other toxins that get ALS that it is hard not too see some relationship there. Getting back to me, in my case the M.D. that I am seeing linked mine most probably to toxins. Luckily we caught it early. I cut out all artificial colors, preservatives, and am trying to reduce the amount of food with Glyphosate. Oats have tons in them, as does wheat. I am not allowed oats anymore, even organic. I get heritage grain organic wheat from a local farm. It is very hard to do on my budget, but I am way obsessed with cutting out all chemicals I can. Yes, this has not included cutting out fish, but I never eat fish much anyways. Organic as much as possible, and beware of all cheaper meats. In my life, this is certainly not a cure. The disease is still progressing, but far slower than it had been. My symptoms are 100% better. I cheated once with a few brownies and I was stiff and sore for days afterwards. If anyone is getting ALS that reads this, I would also immediately cut out ALL food that has high levels of Glyphosate or that has artificial colors or preservatives. Yes I personally know that is very hard, but I do that myself because it makes a night and day difference for me. Again, everyone may have different triggers, but there is NO good reason to eat artificial chemicals. Distilled water helps for me as well. It has no added fluoride, as many brands of water can (Even though it is not labelled). Fluoride is a neurotoxin, and not a nutrient. Much of the fluoride you get is not medical grade, but rather industrial waste grade anyways. Do what you will, but this works for me. Cut out artificial chemicals as immediately and drastically as you can. Also, check your environment. Do you live near a farm or some business that uses a lot of chemicals? Do you use a lot of weed killer or other chemicals yourself? These are important questions. Doctors will not admit the cause for the most part. It is up to us to be extra careful.
  • @nitsan
    How the hell can something be called a non-profit if they are pocketing millions?
  • This is absolutely fascinating. I feel like it's not discussed nearly enough.
  • @DrJanTaplin
    Wow, thank you so much for your research and for putting this info out for the world!!
  • My father has ALS. He has been a committed vegan yogi for over 30 years. He has spent a large part of his life following the healthiest approaches and still got the disease. I wish I could help but he already does not eat or follow any animal products and has even grow his own organic food. It’s taking over very fast.
