Background on ALS


Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive, degenerative disease of the nervous system. ALS is within the group of diseases called motor neuron diseases (MND), in which specialized nerve cells that control movement of the voluntary muscles gradually cease functioning and die. These specialized nerve cells are called motor neurons. They carry impulses from the brain to the brainstem and spinal cord. The impulses are then carried to the muscles. The muscles respond to these impulses by contracting or relaxing, depending on the desired voluntary movement. In ALS and other motor neuron diseases, the muscle tissue deteriorates from a lack of stimulation by the nerve cells. This results in progressive weakness, atrophy, and often spasticity (excess muscle tone). In motor neuron disease, only the motor neurons are affected, therefore other neurons, such as the sensory neurons bringing information from the sense organs, remain intact and unaffected.

Default Still kicking

Rama Whitlock, female, 56
ALS symptoms appeared in 1977, it took another year to get dxd after the delivery a beautiful daughter. I deteriorated at a steady pace until my diet was radically altered to eliminate dairy, grains, except brown rice, and simple sugars and fats. When I added supplements I stabilized even though symptoms are ready to continue the deterioration any time I don't follow my regimen.

Joel Cutler, 54
Symptoms started Dec04 or Jan05
DX Aug 05 limb onset. Left hand first then right.
I was monitored and given 2 years. Found Glutathione and still kicking! Deterioration slowed down immensely, was supposed to be immobile Dec05 - still functioning quite well.
Down to 1 finger on each hand to type, but still getting around on my own!
