My husband who had been diagnosed with Bulbar ALS disease for 2 years at the age of 63 had all his symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from naturalherbscentre. com after undergoing their ALS/MND natural protocol. God Bless all Lou Gehrig’s disease Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.

Hope this is allowed here if not I understand. My husband was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) when he was 63 years old 4 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. His arms weakened first, then his hands and legs. He resorted to a wheelchair (Perbombil C300). A year ago, I began to do a lot of research and came across www Health Herbs Clinic com, I decided to start him on the ALS herbal protocol as I had nothing else to turn to; 2 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain and he is even learning to Walk again. visit healthherbsclinic. com

I was a patient diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke. I was discharged in August 2019 after being in hospital for nine whole months in total. My stroke affected my left side, I was cured naturally with the use of Dr Gomez Sims RSO Cannabis Oil, 3 drops on the tongue daily for a period of 3 weeks, I was recovering. In 2020 I begin seeing Dr Gomez Sims, who specializes in internal and pulmonary medicine at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069028159755 It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis. Seek options. Find out about what’s out there that could help. WhatsApp +17278553511 Email: drsimagomez@protonmail.com. He has a cure for ALS/MND, and Parkinson's.

I was diagnosed 2011. i was diagnosed with the bulbar form of ALS and was given one year to live. My symptoms progressed quickly. Soon i was having difficulty breathing, swallowing and even walking short distances. With the help of Kycuyu Health Clinic natural herbs I have been able to reverse my symptoms using diet, herbs, which i feel has made the most difference. The ALS natural formula immensely helped my condition, it reversed my ALS. my slurred speech. And then the inability to eat without getting choked, breathing, and coughing. gradually disappeared.

I severed all ties with your so-called "PALS Assistance Program" two years ago. And, even though I've requested that you stop sending me your "Guilt-Mail", I still get them regularly... (Which I immediately report as SPAM to Norton and my ISP, happily they now all go automatically into my spam folder!). BUT, your staff STILL calls me on the phone to try to get me to attend fundraising events. Stop it! --->WHERE IS MY HELP??? **What happened to the "Volunteer Assistance Program" from SDSU, UCSD, Mesa and USD?? *Is it too hard to manage volunteers? **What happened to the "Rides" program"? **What happened to the grants to help pay for unexpected medical or living costs? **What happened to all the innovative programs Lori had? **Why do you think the $200 to $1k checks from my dad stopped coming into your office? **What happened to the trailer hitch/ramp to transport my scooter that was offered to me; since I don't have a van?? **What happened to the medical equipment assis
