Motor Neuron Disease - Possible treatment

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing for help.  My uncle at the age of 52 has been diagnosed with having the Motor Neurone Disease about 1 1/2 year ago.  He has been treated in New Zealand but was told that there is nothing else that can be done.  He had tried other alternative methods such as accupuncture and herbal medicine.  

The problem has been getting worse and now he cannot even eat and has to lie in bed all the time.  He cannot talk or do anything. I am trying to see if there is any possibility or history that this can be cured by any treatment or surgery. It will be extremely helpful if you could provide me with some direction as to where I can seek help. Thank you very very much.

Connie

What kind of Motor neuron disease did they diagnose? There are many.  Some have specific names like ALS and some are called Upper Motor Neuron or Lower Motor Neuron Disease.  Can you give us more informations?
