Question
Hello, my 72 year old father was diagnosed with ALS 3 months ago.
He is losing strength and control in both his right and left arm very rapidly. His overall condition has weakened dramatically.
He has been taking Lysine and L-Threonine, 1000mg daily. Vitamin C 1000mg 3X day and COQ10 1200 3X day.
Neither of these supplements seem to work either in stopping or even slowing down the disease.
Are there supplements that you would recommend? Or maybe alterations in his diet?
Thank You.
Greetings,
Ed

Answer
yes we titrate his Calcium to 9.9, magnesium to 2.5, vit D to 90 and add B-100 Time released balance b complex 3-6 times a day plus titrate his monocyte count to <5% with triple strength fish oil and his triglycerides to < 100 with cinnamon bark capsules
