Slowly by stripping the myelin sheath (a protective sheath on your nerves in your brain) the affected person would slowly begin to loose body function and eventually will not be able to talk. There is a over load of long chain fatty acids that ones body cannot dispose of. This does not follow the basic unit of life. (Everything one takes in must be able to be disposed of as waste) This over load of fatty acids will build up in your brain and that is what strips the Myelin Sheath.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.82.143 (talk) 03:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)          u people r so weird.[reply]

Most of the cited links do work, but I checked "1" and it did not link correctly. I checked a few of the links and there was no close paraphrasing or plagiarism. I also noticed that the treatment citations may be out of date. One citation was from over 15 years ago. I would not be surprised if the field has progressed since then.

Yes the article has appropriate and reliable sources. I checked a few sources and some pages, such as source 8, were not found. KatieWilhelmus (talk) 02:20, 8 November 2016 (UTC)Katie Wilhelmus[reply]
