✦ Synopsis

Lou Gehrig's Disease, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord. Patients in the later stages of the disease become totally paralyzed, yet in most cases, their minds are still alert and sharp. Readers are provided with essential information on ALS. This book also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes. Compelling first-person narratives by people coping with ALS give readers a first-hand experience. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience, including famed scientist Stephen Hawking. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
