Probiotics: New Naturally Occurring Inhibitor Of ALS Progression
Bacterial imbalance in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract was found to contribute to the rapid progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The research team comprised of scientists from Kansas City University

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients usually exhibit symptoms of brain damage related to their disease sub-type. Researchers have evidence that patients with bulbar-onset ALS have more extensive
Continue readingDestruction of Brain Regions Linked to Thinking Abilities Cause of ALS Cognitive Problems
Studies have shown that patients of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with cognitive difficulties exhibit brain damage in the brain regions that are necessary for thinking. This aspect has been attributed
