People, look up Low Dose Naltrexone on the Internet. It has been helping people with any number of autoimmune and neurological conditions. It's supposedly good for Motor Neuron Disease too.
This is a truly shocking view on MND but spot on I'd say. My nanna had MND and it is a horrific thing to see someone you love go through. I am a photography student and did a documentary project on her, rephotographing old photographs and made it into a video which can be viewed on my channel if anyone would like to see please feel free and any feedback would be appreciated. thankyou.
Good Grief! What a harrowing truthful advert, Very Well Done. My Grandad has M.N.D. and has only been given a couple of months to live. I had never heard of the diease before adverts like this should definatly be shown to make people aware of what its like. xx

This ad needs to be shown, people need to understand what it is like to suffer from this disease!
Someone very close to me, in my immediate family, was diagnosed two years ago and unfortunately very few people know of the disease itself, of how it can effect families and individuals.
I personally found this very hard to watch, but the MNDA need help in spreading the message
Why was this ad banned from the TV? When we are surrounded every day with visions of war (real and imaginary) and the violence done by man to man, why would this offend? We need more real life images like this not less - maybe then less people will live in isolation and ignorance. Sarah, well done girl.
I've never experienced loosing someone to MND but this ad explains to me what it is... I came across it because my friends dads friend died of the disease... I really want to raise some money for them but I don't know how.. If anyone has any suggestions please leave a comment on my page because I would love some of your ideas.. thanks x x
just came to watch the advert after hearing it being discussed on radio 4. It is very powerful and moving, and though I knew a little about what I was going to see I'm sitting here crying feeling compelled to type. This is powerful and tragic and I think that it should be seen.
I also heard it on R4 and agree every effort should be made to help those suffering with MND, also that more research is needed. I agree it should be seen, but also agree with the 15 rating it has been given. This could be very disturbing for young children if it was not carefully explained by an adult.
Cruel illness, took my dad very quickly 18 months from start to finish, no one make you ready to watch the dad you loved fade away. I think the film will make people more aware of the illness, which good thing.

My 31 year old sister has ALS. I have never seen a more poignant depiction of the pain, anguish, terror and ultimate surrender to a disease because there is no cure. . . no treatment. ALS is a severely underfunded and "orphaned" disease that leaves a person. . .a family. . . helpless. Thank you for capturing the essence of this terrible disease in an attempt to raise awareness.
I lost my dad on 11th June 2008 from MND. It was bloody heartbreaking .I had to keep explaining what he had as no-one had even heard of it. I see the expression on his face from the morning he died every night before I go to sleep.

@StTudno I lost my grandad to MND in 2006, it was horrible as no one had heard of it and i couldnt explain it because i got upset. People need to be made more aware of this horrible disease.
This is amazing - it really captures the pain and feeling isolated and trapped. Not a lot of people know about MND, and im so glad people are raising awareness. My Dad died of MND, and I miss him everyday, but the work that this association is doing is phenominal. Everyone involved should be so proud of themselves.
My amazing Grandfather died of MND just month and half ago. Such an inspirational man, after years of caring for others as a doctor and he had to sit there for 6 months suffering without words. I miss you Grandpa xxx
watta a scary film, but so so true, im 23 and have mnd, one day i was out having fun, next day im home relying on people and equipment, you couldnt uderstand what ts like but atleast this video can show u apart of our pain...
Sarah...you are a courageous woman. My husband was recently diagnosed with PLS, he is 50 years old. Only 6 months ago he was an avid snow skier & basketball player. Now he can do neither.
I am going to search you out on Facebook, you are an inspiration. God Bless You....
I'm Sarah, diagnosed in 2000. Can't speak well or use my arms but still here. I'm on Facebook if anyone wants to know more.... and that's my wasted body in the film!
im in tears watching this, my dad died from ALS i have been told there are different types of m.n.d???? als is the quicker form, which my dad only survived 2 years although he suffered so so badly i know hes in a better place, why cant more be done to help people, does anyone know how sarA is now as she was diagnoised in 2000???
she was only 34, life is so cruel, i miss my dad every day, wish he could see his 2 grandsons, mY 3 month old baby im sure sees him cos he looks at things and laughs!?
I know people on various social networking sites and MND forums and they keep dying. I've survived nine years now and MND really is a living hell. More awareness has to lead to an effective treatment or cure. We need to get Sarah's Story on TV....
My gran has this bastard of a disease, it really is terrible, losing your body but not your mind. I'm planning to do the Trek Sierra in June for the charity so if you want to join me message me.
wow... My gran was diagnosed several months ago.although we can still make out what she is saying, her speech is nearly completely gone. She once removed her med patch from behind her ear for a few hours longer than she should have (she hates being reliant on medication) and quickly learnt her lesson when she choked on her own saliva and turned blue.
difficult that few understand it, most think there's something mentally wrong with her when she's just stuck in a body that doesnt obey anymore!
Mum mum died from MND aged 48, no-one can possilby understand the impact uness you've been there. It not only broke my Mum but our whole family - well done ot the MND association for being brave enough to show this.
Having had my wife die of this terrible disease 18 months ago and not knowing how she felt, this brought tears to my eyes, very moving and very understanding.
Very Powerful!!! We need to find a cure for this awful disease!!!! I hope this does good and gets the word out on this disease. Share this with everyone you know. I just lost my dad to this disease in August of last year so i know first hand what this disease will do to ones body. Let's find acure for ALS!!!!!
I have recently stared experiencing MND symptoms, and this ad scares the shit out of me!!!!! it's hard to watch!!!
