Default Lou Gehrig didn't have Lou Gehrig's disease

head trauma used to be discounted as causing pd. i'm not sure but i don't think it's been previously considered as a cause of most motor neuron illnesses has it? i admit i haven't read all of this yet. I don't understand why they didn't think head injury caused pd but it was finally modified to something different with Ali looming tall and obviously brain damaged.

It sheds a whole new light on what can go wrong. i suppose there is much money to be made and noticed the tv commentator made sure he said, "don't stop loving football."Someone might shoot him for messing with that kind of money.

cynicallly yours, but not holding my breath for anything being done about it but money making by those who don't have it for years to come. is it fatal? if not then hope would be created for those who have ALS dx but actually do not have it.
