I am wondering, my father n law died of lou Gehrigs disease in 2002, I noticed some of the same symptoms in my husband. Is this something that could be passed on through genes? I am very worried. Please respond.

ALS is not hereditary. If you really think your husband has it, maybe they both had exposure to the same toxin, if
ALS is caused by environmental toxins. No one knows what causes ALS, but it might help researchers if you could think of something they both were in contact with. My mother had ALS and had taken mega doses of calcium while I was growing up, maybe 30 years. She got ALS at age 70. I read that in ALS, the body has difficulty passing calcium across cell membranes. I emailed a professor studying ALS and told him about my mother, and he wrote back and said that he didn't believe the calcium could have caused her ALS.
