I'm telling ya, they are related not separate. Neurodegenerative disorders are a spectrum.
The day will come when ALS is managed as a chronic illness and not a fatal one. But first the government needs to come clean about causation.
Please take the time to watch this video with Dr. Ray Dorsy.
"But first the government needs to come clean about causation." Sounds like you're saying the gov't knows the cause and are concealing it?
ALS is a symptom of poisoning. So is parkinsonism.
PD may also be a result of head trauma, bacterial or viral infection, prolonged stress, pharmaceuticals, microbiome imbalance, heredity, other progressive brain conditions such as progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, cerebrovascular disease, and/or etc., etc.
I'm of the opinion the gov't doesn't really know.
Hard not to be somewhat cynical with articles like this though.

I agree toxins are definitely a cause. I am only making the point they are not the only cause.
I agree with you. Perhaps it's the cumulative effects of various things. I had bad swine flu when it was doing the rounds but also have been exposed to various chemicals albeit for short periods of time. I even had a short stint preparing amalgam fillings and no doubt breathing the mercury fumes in.My point is that it's hard not to believe that people will hide inconvenient and terrible truths to keep themselves rich or in power.
amen to that
Well I was feeling quite a bit skeptical with the tiny sample and other preliminary circumstances, but I must admit it's quite intriguing. Your comment about the government is not exactly realistic or very helpful, also there is no sand in your comment about neurological disorders being on some form of continuum or group relationship. But you are on very target with the possibility of ropinerole even though it's a really tiny study using people that have not been affected long enough by the disease, and the study was really too tiny and didn't go nearly long enough. And with all the dropouts statistics are not going to help. But with all that the results do look pretty impressive, no doubt, surprisingly so. It deserves a really good big push from a government willing to make it a project. Good get!
I tried ropinirole. It makes me too drowsy to function. Has anyone found a solution to that side effect?
I have Multple System Atrophy Was on Ropinerol for awhile but it made me too drowsy so now I only take it at night

Excerpt:
During the double-blind period, muscle strength and daily activity were maintained, but a decline in the ALSFRS-R, which assesses the functional status of ALS patients, was not different from that in the placebo group. However, in the open-label extension period, the ropinirole group showed significant suppression of ALSFRS-R decline and an additional 27.9 weeks of disease-progression-free survival
