  • studies have proven a sure fire link to ALS being triggered by chemicals, please help spread the word and have these products banned

  • realy informative

  • My daughter died at 29, after the 1 year diagnosis. Before she got pregnant, she limped for 6 months, with foot drop. It all started with a pain in her hip, much like sciatica; traveling down her leg to her foot, leaving the foot paralyzed. I WILL NEVER BELIEVE she had ALS, it turned INTO ALS.!! HOW can we find a cure, when we dont' know the cause!! NOT ONE Nuerologist, Neurosurgeon, has ever asked her history to find the co-relations between what Keri had in common with other PALS. WHY?

  • my father died 6 years ago from als, he worked at the bayside saw mills chemical room. this place is located in gibsons british columbia

  • Good video on an important topic! Let's also remember that there are many other illnesses linked to formaldehyde exposure inlcuding short term impacts--burning eyes, sore throat, congestion, frequent respiratory infections, headaches, rashes, memory problems and extreme fatigue--and long term impacts including cancer.
