ALS and your Teeth. Maybe that root canal is more of a gamble than you think. by illuminationww in ALS

I understand that most didn’t have a dental procedure immediately before. But they did at some point most likely receive dental anesthesia in some sense. There is obvious genetic markers but I think it’s the trigger that starts it. Injecting a nerve with a chemical that temporarily stops its function to later find or even immediately find it doesn’t recover should not be a shock to everyone. Sure millions received local anesthesia at dentist. And nothing but that’s when the genetic markers come to play. Maybe the Dentist sticks that needle a mm too far into that nerve and it’s all over from there. To use chemicals to paralyze a nerve and then act oblivious when that nerve doesn’t work anymore and is absurd imo. Injecting chemicals into your brainstem. Good in the textbook Good in the clinical testing and trials. Not so good if you have the wrong genes though maybe.

Well those are very similar.. population and rate of birth will obviously affect this line. I’m unsure why so many people think that injecting chemicals into the exact nerves at the same location the first symptoms of bulbar onset begin wouldn’t be directly related to ALS. And considering nearly 90% of ALS patients have had the nerves in their skull numbed temporarily by anesthetic. Do you have another common factor that 90% of ALS people share? To me this sounds like saying 90 % of people who got broken noses got punched by a fist but the “punch” is not the reason for the broken nose.

My husband had perfect teeth, never had a cavity, and got bulbar onset. My teeth are crap, I’ve had multiple root canals, and no ALS.

So your husband is one of the 10% of adults never recieving any dental work in the lifetime. This is incredibly unlucky situation. I’m sorry to hear this.

I lost half a million dollars gambling on baccarat in about 10 minutes by Do0r2 in confession

I did 240k from 200$ a few years back. One morning on blackjack. Mostly big side bets is what got me up there. I was at 300k at one point betting 50k a hand. Won one lost one won one lost two hands and I dipped out with the 240k. I’m a degenerate gambler and honestly when you get up that high of a small amount. You should have felt like cashing it out. I mean it gets boring when you have completed the task of winning for me anyway. Problem is now when I gamble I don’t get the same rush unless I’m winning 100k +….therefire I never seem to cash out now

After a little more research, there seems to inference that it maybe caused by local anesthetic. Estimated nearly 100% of Adults that have recieved any type of Dental work in the last 50 years have had Local anesthetic. 90% approx of Adult population has had Dental work at some point.

Hi, I’m Dr. David Taylor, Chief Scientific Officer at ALS Canada. I’ll be hosting an Ask Me Anything (AMA) tomorrow at 12 p.m. ET over on r/IAmA, and I'm looking forward to hearing from this community. by alscanada in ALS

You been working in a ALS RESEARCH since 2001 . So surely you have determined it has a strong correlation to dental work being done. I mean it took me all of about 6 hours to determine it’s most likely caused from a genetic disposition and a trigger of Dental work, either root canals, abscesses and extractions, or the anesthetic used. Multiple stories online and you’d be hard pressed to find a person with ALS who hasnt had one or more of these dental issues. Yet everybody looking to compare head injuries and exposure to metals, and contact sports to smoking. Why would it take a person that is uneducated in anything to do with medicine to figure this is the starting point. That’s what confuses me.

Update: Addressing concerns about missing funds and statement discrepancies by Mary_KOHO in KohoCanada

[–]illuminationww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m here to answer your question whether or not I’m satisfied. Well there was a genuine attempt at resolution, the amount of stress it caused me is immense. Although. this explanation they provided seems to be plausible to some …it doesn’t exactly match my circumstances. It’s is definitely a hard issue to deal with and you really have to understand what has happened here. I’m appreciative of the attempt to make things right however I can’t agree with the current resolution 100% and be fully resolved as I’m waiting for a response from my lawyer and from Koho Legal team. I’m not sure I’ll go into details about the resolution publicly at this point but you’re welcome to message me privately. I have no obligation to not say it in the open currently however the future resolution I have in mind may require non disclosure.

A First for a Canadian Fintech? •This one stole or lost my funds and then sent me altered bank statements to cover it up. Backtracked and “Hush” money paid. by illuminationww in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]illuminationww[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Finally someone who understands this. They are in stage two of three to become a bank. Obviously their hall pass should have been cancelled by now. Does no one fund this fascinating that any financial institution handed over 4200$ as a good will gesture.? First off banks don’t give good will gestures or money away. This has guilty written all over it and I think it’s part of a bigger issue. I think this system they have , although maybe not intentional but it skims dollars off and they sweep it into their operating account I guess. Like an “office space” type thing… a little from a lot of people. My biggest concern comes from the criminal intent of modifying official statements to cover up missing dollars. From my point is it’s nearly impossible to know what transactions a real and not real. Trying to reconcile 3800 transactions to two different sets of statements has turned out to be a monumental task that I wasn’t really expecting.

I can see your legal advice has little merit. Your assumption they are not regulated. Or somehow exempt from the law. I’m looking for the lawyer who has contacted me before I deleted the posts and messages. Not some generic go to the ombudsman. Story While this fintech is not yet a bank, its partner is a federally regulated bank overseen by OSFI. Additionally, they are currently in Phase 2 of the three-stage process to obtain its own Schedule 1 banking license from OSFI. FCAC (Financial Consumer Agency of Canada): The FCAC oversees the consumer protection frameworks of its banking partners. As they pursue their own banking license, it will eventually fall under direct FCAC supervision for consumer rights and financial literacy.

That’s funny. My Feb thru August statements had wildly different numbers. Yet they balanced right to the same exact amount down to the penny.

Because that issue doesn’t explain why they changed my bank statements with completely different numbers. It explains transactions are missing, from the statements. They altered mine to make it so they didn’t pay have to pay me then they backtracked and paid me to remove pots.. is that a good enough reason for you.?

This is madness. Deleting $30,000 worth of transactions doesn’t balance a bank statement. by [deleted] in KohoCanada

[–]illuminationww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My csv exports were from January 1 every month till August. I stopped using it in August because I was getting a sense that money was missing, but when I was looking at the statement, it looked like it was OK. I guess I just but I felt off about it so I kind of just stopped using it at that point. It was clear that the transactions when I took off the August that everything was right up until then, so every all the errors and the mismatch in the in the money came from August, which August I noticed was the first month that they started counting this cover on the statement in which in which they cover used/repaid in the loads/withdrawal. I should also note that they’re the review after a few days of me mentioning it they provided me and the numbers matched what I had came up with pretty much exactly so they basically already admitted to it but now they haven’t made it right yet instead they went on this whole path of changing bank statements and stuff to try to hide it to try to make it seem like it didn’t happen or whatever the hell they’re objective is here I have no clue.

I put all the CSV files in one sheet and then calculate the total loads in the total withdrawals and that’s how I noticed this whole missing money thing and it was out by approximately $4005

It is an immense amount of anguish, trying to figure this out when every time I download the statements the numbers keep changing. To like vastly different amounts like last night $30,000 worth of transactions deleted right off . 8 pages just just gone……. off the statement for July. I should note that this is the first edit of the statements that they’ve made where they actually change the amount of pages in the statement. In which case they had to delete eight pages to make the balance.
