Motor Neuron disease

A 45 year old friend of mine has developed the above disease in the last three years.
He has been progressively losing the use of his limbs.
Doctors in India have given up hope.
I would like to know if there are specific medications or specific doctors who could help?
I could send a detailed case paper of his in case anyone is interested.

regards

Venkatesh

Your friend has Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - ALS - which is a terminal illness and at the moment, there are no treatments known anywhere in the world. I had an uncle with this illness. Physical therapy and tools can help make things easier but the disease has a progression that is sad and difficult. You are a good friend to try to help him.

Has he been tested for ALS, Guillienne Bar, or scanned for back tumors that could be causing this?
