Introduction

In November of 2007, researchers in Italy announced the results of a trial using Lithium Carbonate to treat 16 ALS patients, in which they claimed that progression was significantly slowed, and no patients died over the 15 month trial period. If the results are verified, they are unprecedented in ALS research. In fact, previous laboratory studies have demonstrated that lithium has numerous neuro-protective properties.

This website has been created to help spread information about lithium for treatment of ALS, and to gather data from ALS patients choosing to try or not to try lithium treatments in an attempt to verify the results of the Italian study.

If you are interested in Lithium as a potential therapy for ALS please participate in our study.

Update 2/4/08- The Italian Study has now been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences! You can view it HERE.
