WHAT IS "ALS"? If you've been diagnosed with "ALS", you have amyotrophy, but nobody knows whether or not you have lateral sclerosis. And you do have upper motor neuron disease even though the phrase "ALS" doesn't indicate that. When you read or hear "ALS", it's best to mentally substitute the international phrase "Motor Neuron Disease" which is more scientific, and which also tacitly admits that we're referring to a syndrome. We're not making assumptions regarding the cause of the observed disease condition or the biological processes which underlie it. As it turns out, MND is marked by diversity of clinical signs and symptoms, diversity of causes, diversity of biological processes, and diversity of outcomes. What's not diverse is the neurologist's proposed therapeutic regime: "Sorry chap, the Merck salesman was just here an hour ago and they still ain't got anything. Could I interest you in a clinical trial?"
