The mystery of why some people develop ALS

5. Getting any specific disease is always something of a mystery.

We are all exposed to lots of things, over time, and all the time. What we get perhaps comes down to the individual's immune system. Protected against one disease, vulnerable to another. It's when we're exposed to some oddball disease, like ALS, that those vulnerable get it. Meanwhile, someone else gets some other disease entirely.

I'm so much the healthiest person I know that if I got one wish it would be that everyone be as healthy as I am. Sadly, many doctors, nurses, and hospitals would soon be out of work.
