Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) is Caused by Electric Currents Applied to or Induced in the Body: It is an Iatrogenic Disease of Athletes Caused by Use of Electrotherapy Devices
I hypothesize that sporadic ALS is caused by exogenous electrical currents induced in or applied to the body. Since most cases of
ALS have no obvious connection to electrical shock or electrical
therapy, most non-familial cases must have had currents induced
in their bodies by working or living in environments with strong
EMFs.
