ALS Natural History: How to Turn Real-World Experience into Real Progress in ALS Research!
🎙️ Featuring Dr. Alberto Ascherio, MD, DrPH, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and a Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School.
In this insightful #ExpertTalk, Dr. Ascherio spoke about:
-- Longitudinal epidemiological studies unravel the causes of chronic diseases
-- Could infections play a role in causing ALS
-- Dietary factors may contribute to prevention and treatment
And, during the Q&A portion of talk, here are some of the questions asked:
-- Is there an epidemiological component of the Million Veterans Program that can capture insights into the prevalence and potential causes of ALS?
-- Is there a suggested dosage for vitamin E to see a benefit/reduce ALS risk?
-- What are the plans to validate these potential influences on ALS risk? Are there plausible hypotheses behind these connections with vitamin E and beta carotene?
-- What is the recommended methylcobalamin vitamin B dosage to be injected?
-- What type of flaxseed oil should we buy, and where would we find it? How was the proposed dose of 8g/day chosen?
-- Have you looked at the Omega 3 and 6 in hemp hearts or hemp protein?
-- If it is the case that some supplements could reduce the risk of ALS onset, why is it that there are so few reversals?
-- In neurodegenerative diseases, there have been historically high barriers to finding ALS patients to follow over a longitudinal period. What has changed in the field of epidemiology to evolve the understanding of prevalence?
