Mitochondria are found in every cell of the human body except red blood cells, and convert the energy of food molecules into the ATP that powers most cell functions. Mitochondrial diseases are sometimes (about 15% of the time) caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA that affect mitochondrial function.itochondrial disorders may be caused by mutations, acquired or inherited, in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or in nuclear genes that code for mitochondrial components. They may also be the result of acquired mitochondrial dysfunction due to adverse effects of drugs, infections, or other environmental causes (see MeSH).

ALS or Lou Gehrigâs Disease. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrigâs Disease is considered an âautoimmune disease,â meaning something foreign to the brain is getting into the brain. The immune system recognizes the invader and attacks. The immune system is not able to get rid of, or kill, the invader and for some reason the immune system does not âturn off.â. Because the immune system does not âturn offâ, the immune system itself causes some of the damage to the brain. However, there may be multiple reasons, or multiple ways of looking at, the causes of ALS. ALS is almost always caused by Lyme Disease (aka Lymes Disease).
