come on ted, humor me just a little. we have been told for years that mutinated or folded proteins are toxic so a toxin must enter the motor neuron to cause it to happen. all body cells have an opening that opens and closes to take in nutrients and expel waste. if nwu discovered a clump of proteine cells blocking the recyle pathway of the motor neuron. did or could they test this clump for toxins. have heard nothing along this line. just a side note, please go to "the institute of ethnomedicine" and read there articles about guam somoa, japan , gulf war veterans,bacteria,toxins. its a lot different than what we are told by medical researchers
