EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY MND & NEUROSCIENCE / NUEROLOGICAL RESEARCH

25 April 2019

 

MND QUESTIONS TO EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY

Based on –

Independent MND Website www.motorneurondisease.co.uk

 

Being a full time carer for wife with genetic C9ORF72 for 3 years

Investigating & successfully solving all problems for care techniques / facilities / equipment

Independent investigation of all the latest MND & related medical developments UK & worldwide

Raising awareness of MND & donations for MND Research UK & worldwide (2018 directly in Australia & New Zealand & taken to USA & Japan)

 

1.CELLS – TOXICITY – ATTACK – slow / stop attack

 

 

 

 

 

2.MOTOR NEURONES – re-growth / grow new ones

 

 

 

 

3.STEM CELLS  -  grow new motor neurons – absolute belief in Stem Cells proven cures evidence – RESEARCH BY Japanese scientist in fooling stem cells to grow a range of organs in particular hearts – this is also being investigated & researched  by British scientists – Stem cell have cured MS patient – my friend from my teenage years has had cancer in legs & received stem cells from a donor & appears to be recovering from my observation

 

 

 

 

4.CERVICAL CANCER NEW AUTOMATIC FAST DIAGNOSIS TEST – develop new test / similar test – not waitng 2 to 3 years for diagnosis when diagnosis could have been done in half a day even allowing for abslute confirmation of diagnosis thus allowing more meaningful testing & medical trials

 

 

 

 

5.PARKINSONS DISEASE – NEW BRAIN STIMULATION – significant improvement of condition which is lasting so far

 

 

 

6.ELECTRO-MAGNETIC FIELDS – contribution & effects on MND  / research required / I live near a large high voltage national grid line – within 100 – 150 Metres cables we have had people with MND (my wife), Parkinson’s Disease (1person), Cancer (5 people), Dementia (1person), MS (1 person) – just coincidence ??? – I have a report from the National Grid claiming no problem – I have a report from investigators in Sweden who claim high voltage power lines cause serious health problems similar to those listed

 

 

 

 

7.TRAUMA INJURY – head / spine contribution to MND / research required (my wife had several Traumas before MND (head injury cracked skull hit by car, breast cancer both breasts, head split open at back after being thrown in a bus emergency stop, falls) & during MND (falls)

 

 

OPEN EVENING

Further to my attendance on 10 April 2019 at the Edinburgh University Research Open Evening in The Anne Rowling Clinic & meetings & discussions with all concerned in particular with all researchers & Professor Siddharthan Chandran

RESEARCH - UNLOCKING GENETIC SECRETS OF MOTOR NEURON DISEASE

Using Brain tissue samples –

Theory –

Tiny genetic mistakes as body grows

Neuropathology – minute cellular processes

Now can single out individual motor neurone cells to study

Why disease arises in the first place

Genes that cause inherited MND

To date, we know approximately 70% of the genes known to cause inherited MND. The most common genetic mistakes are:

•SOD1, discovered in 1993, accountable for 20% of cases of inherited MND

•TARDBP (TDP-43), discovered in 2008, accountable for 3-5% of cases of inherited MND

•FUS, discovered in 2009, accountable for 3-5% of cases of inherited MND

•C9ORF72, discovered in 2011, accountable for around 40% of cases of inherited MND
