What I Would Do If I Had ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis): Lou Gehrig’s Disease – Dr. Berg

My dear husband had been diagnosed with ALS at age 43. He was a healthy man, the doctors always said, his symptoms are "bizarr", took all the possible tests on him, and everything came back "negative". They couldn't find any trigger, anything that could've caused this horrible disease. He lived with it for 9 and a half year, I was together with him 24/7, since he lost all the mobility of his body, totally. But he never lost his ability to speak, and the hope for living with his beloved family for a long long time... 😥Unfortunately he passed away at age 53. It happened 15 years ago, but I still feel the pain of loosing him so young. We miss him every day with my sons and grandsons. He was the love of my life, my best friend, the best father and a great friend for so many good people. I love him forever. ❤

This comment isn't about this video, but my 10 year old son has been suffering from really bad restless leg syndrome for several years. The internet said a magnesium or iron deficiency which I tried but it didn't help and the pediatrician just said it was growing pains. Thank God I found one of your videos saying it was a vit b1 deficiency. It cured him overnight. And then my other son 8 years old has had horrible eczema since he was born and I believe it was one of your videos suggesting black current seed oil rubbed on the skin. And that cured his eczema. But even more surprising he has had just horrible night terrors almost every night since he was born, but when I started using black current seed oil on him and his skin cleared up, he stopped having night terrors. I couldn't believe it. I'm very grateful.

It absolutely does happen to younger people. My husband died at 44 and my cousin died at 38 from ALS. I've met several people diagnosed with ALS that were younger than 50 years old.

My aunt just died last year from ALS. I don't understand because nobody in our family has ever had anything remotely like it. She was a sweet lady that cooked for the church, bible school and our family. She didn't deserve to die that way. I am upset yet curious as to what causes it. I personally feel it is something that is triggered by environment and and all the poisons in todays world. I hope we figure what causes it. R.I.P. Auntie Ann we all love U ❤😢

My father died of this about 6 months after symptoms developed. It was deemed service related by VA. He served in the CBs during WW2 in the Pacific. There was a lot of defoliants used for building and restoring air straps. My brother found out about this after my father died. My mother was awarded spouse benefits monthly as well as retroactive benefits

My dad died of ALS….he lasted for two years when he knew something was wrong. He was still working at 74, dropped a big metal box on his foot because he lost feeling in his arm and dropped it. Of course he had to stop when the doctors told him they thought he had ALS (there’s no real test to say he had it.) We actually did what we could naturally. One big thing was he was taking baby aspirin for many years and got him off of that. He had heart surgery when he was 55 so that’s why he took it plus he took meds that he later found out was causing the toxicity in his blood… long story short, we went a more natural route for the two years we knew he had ALS and he actually was taking melatonin for maybe a year or two before he got his diagnosis. My brother looked up all kinds of stuff and gave him coconut oil and carob powder to help with his lungs and to lower his triglycerides. He choked a lot so we didn’t want him to have the effects from aspiration. We tried feeding him less carbs. All in all, it is one of the worst things you can watch a person die from. Started in his one arm and when that went paralyzed, the other arm was started to lose feeling. Imagine not being able to use both of your arms… we tried to keep him somewhat active like exercising his legs, stretching, walking with him. Plus he had sundowners so he was 24/7 care for pretty much the entire two years. I wish a cure could be found. What about the toxicity? Wouldn’t that be the key in fighting ALS? What I don’t understand is what stops the muscles from becoming atrophied Dr Berg? You’re saying melatonin and B vitamins would do it? I don’t get that. It is interesting what you’re saying Dr Berg and I applaud the effort in understanding this disease/disorder.

My aunt died of this in her 70’s. It built up over a 5 year timeframe and the last 3 years of her life left her profoundly disabled and bedridden. Her brain was sharp as a tack up until the day she died but she could no longer talk, eat or drink properly. She weighed about 75 pounds at her death. 😢😢 I miss her.

Lost my 54YO stepfather to ALS in 1994. Started with a limp in his leg. He died at the stage when they were attempting to put a feeding tube in 3 years into his disease. It was completely devastating. Still painful to think about his suffering all these years later. Bob was an amazing musician, conductor, and professor… and a wonderful father figure to me.

So many comments here that bring all the nightmare of my husband's death due to ALS a couple years ago. I can never forget witnessing his weight loss,inability to speak,weakness,muscle twitching nonstop...he opted out of a stomach tube for feeding as he didn't want to lay there... heartbreaking. I miss him terribly

Lost my 45 year old brother to ALS in 2009. 😢 It was awful watching him deteriorate. 😭

For everyone dealing with this disease, I send my prayers to them. Remember every struggle you go through in this life, there is a reward in thereafter. Stay strong and God will help you through this. Amen

My husband was diagnosed with ALS st 42, and passed away at 46. It's the worst disease, takes everything from you. Your ability to walk, talk, move, eat, breathe. It's awful.

An ALS diagnosis is a process of ruling out other diseases and always requires a second opinion. A severe magnesium deficiency can look a lot like ALS, and untreated, can have progressively worsening symptoms like ALS. I was misdiagnosed with ALS or "some other neurodegenerative disorder". Both neurologists missed, or failed to test for, the magnesium deficiency that was the root cause of my symptoms that went untreated for two years. I dodged a bullet. I feel for those with ALS, an awful way to go.

You’re a good human for making this video. It’s such a horrible disease and I hope this helps some people prolong their lives if they watch this!

My dearest sister just passed away from ALS. It was so sad to see her deteriorate in such an aggressive manner. She went from being a healthy lady to being 99.9 paralyzed. We lost her on February 17, 2024. I hope that a cure is near, as I don't want to see anyone to go through this one. She tried a lot of alternative medicines, but nothing helped. I miss her dearly. ❤

It is crucial to note that “darkness” stimulates the pineal gland to secrete melatonin whereas exposure to light inhibits this mechanism. There is a range of foods that have high levels of melatonin naturally. These include: cherries, goji berries, eggs, milk, fish and nuts – in particular almonds and pistachios.

Parasites and bacteria/fungi have been linked to ALS. Parasites have also been found in spinal cords of MS patients. Cancer studies are focusing on antiparasitics as a potential cure.

I have researched ALS for over 20 years. The best way to determine if you're a candidate for taking Zinc Gluconate is to have your serum copper and ceruloplasmim checked to see if you have elevated free copper. If so, which proved to be the case in a small 10 person trial, Zinc Gluconate extended life by an average of 3 years and greatly decreased breathing decline by years. FYI.

Dr B I love your channel. Thanks to your tips I have extended my life expectancy from 26 to 34 (present) I was diagnosed with primary scerlotic cholengitis (PSC) at 26 and was given 2 years given my elevated ALT/AST levels. 8 years later I’m still alive thanks in part to you. You are appreciated 🫡
