What is lou garett's diseae?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ALS: Lou gehrig, hall of fame baseball player for the new york yankees, probably died from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This is a disease of "misfolded proteins", causing death of nerve cells with progressive weakness, muscle atrophy, and loss of breathing and swallowing abilities. To date, there is no cure, and sadly, there is little that can be done beyond comfort measures.
