About Helen My mother committed suicide in 2009, while dying a terrible death from Lou Gehrig's ALS otherwise known as motor neurone disease (MND). I am keen to spread the word that since then Australian researchers have discovered that up to 90% of #MND #ALS is potentially being caused by the toxic blue green algae neurotoxin BMAA bioaccumulating in our food, water and also in some people. The cyanotoxin #BMAA has also been directly linked to #Alzheimer's and #Parkinson's diseases and can be invisibly present in our water supply, where it cannot be destroyed by boiling or disinfectants but may be removed by using an activated carbon filter. A possible treatment called L-Serine is currently being trialed and tested on MND ALS sufferers. It is hoped that L-Serine will flush bioaccumulated toxic BMAA from the body and/or prevent further absorption.

Watch our 2015 Neurofilm entry 'Hidden Dangers for ALS' at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uspyWbBAY3k in which Dr Rachie Dunlop explains why we need more environmental research into the causes of ALS & MND, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and #dementia.

I have 2 science degrees & currently work as a suicide crisis worker but before retraining as a counsellor & supervisor I worked for many years as an Information Technology professional, contracting, project managing, designing, programming and debugging computer systems in a variety of industries in Europe and Australasia.

My forum articles describing how Australian researchers discovered this potential toxic blue green algae cause & L-Serine medical treatment for MND, Lou Gehrig's, ALS, Parkinsons, Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative diseases and describing the causes, effects and management of harmful blue-green algae blooms in Australian recreational and drinking water can also be found at http://www.science20.com/forums/medicine
