Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is often referred to as<u> Lou Gehrig's Disease</u> and the cornerstone of treatment is <u>symptom management.</u>

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's Disease is a disease of the nervous system. The affected parts include the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disease progresses with time and causes the patient to lose control over his muscles.

Early symptoms include slurred speech, weakness in the limbs, twitching of muscles, and eventually inability to perform basic functions like moving, speaking, eating, and even breathing. The causes are unknown, though genetics may be one.

There is no cure, so the cornerstone of treatment is symptom management. These include taking medications like Riluole, doing physical therapy, speech therapy, and getting psychological support.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

D. The divine is thought of as God or as gods.

Explanation:

The very term "theistic" refers to the act of any belief in the existence of a superpower entity, anything divine which we prefer to address as God or Gods. this theistic belief forms the basis of an individual's belief in the existence of a divine being.

So, with the presence of divine "gods", there comes up the practice of religion(s). These religions are referred to as theistic only due to their basis in the thought of the God or Gods, as per the religion.
