	AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS) - EDGAR CAYCE Health Database
		Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is defined as a degenerative disease of the pyramidal tract and lower motor neurons, characterized by motor weakness and the spastic condition of the limbs associated with muscular atrophy, fibrillary twitching, and final involvement of nuclei in the medulla.
		In the readings, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is treated much in the same manner as multiple sclerosis, and the readings give a similar cause in both conditions.
		This is on multiple sclerosis specifically but, as already mentioned, probably has a strong bearing on the etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

	Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease, Maladie de Charcot or motor neurone disease) is a progressive, almost invariably fatal neurological disease.
		In ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or (Lou Gehrig's disease), both the upper motor neurons and the lower motor neurons degenerate or die, ceasing to send messages to muscles.
		Neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, post-polio syndrome, multifocal motor neuropathy, and spinal muscular atrophy also can mimic certain facets of the disease and should be considered by physicians attempting to make a diagnosis.

	Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Genetics Home Reference
		Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive disease that affects motor neurons, which are specialized nerve cells in the spinal cord and the part of the brain that is connected to the spinal cord (the brainstem).
		Mutations in the ALS2, SETX, SOD1, and VAPB genes cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
