Non-profit conducts study to diagnose ALS quicker
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — In the 150 years since ALS was discovered there is still no cure or single test to diagnose the disease.
The demand for more answers is what drove one woman to start up her own non-profit.
EverythingALS began its research in 2021 and now they’re working toward diagnosing the disease faster.
“I really want to help people who are going through this disease,” said Indu Navar, Founder of EverythingALS.
The study analyzes data when it comes to physiological changes and the progression of the disease.
Navar says she wants to shift the focus to the brain, something she believes isn’t understood well enough.

New technology helping ALS patients in Louisiana
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive motor neuron disease that gradually robs people of their ability to walk, talk, swallow, and eventually breathe.
Indu Navar, the founder of EverythingALS, said, “ALS has no known cause or cure and so patients suffer for years not knowing what is wrong and have to go through rigorous testing and a process of elimination to finally get diagnosed. If they are diagnosed, there are no treatments. Life expectancy is two to five years.”

Groundbreaking research involving artificial intelligence could diagnose ALS patients sooner
Five thousand people in the U.S. are diagnosed with a neurological disease called ALS every year. Medical experts say it typically takes an average of two years to diagnose, but new research will likely make that timetable a lot shorter.
In 2019, Mark Weston and his wife, Kathleen, had their retirement all planned out.
"We were all set up for a sail off into the sunset and have a really fun retirement," Weston said. "We had, we bought a house on the coast of Maine several months earlier."
