Question
Can you recommend some natural cures for the ALS disease. I was just diagnosed with it, and the doctors do not offer much hope, or help.  I am a 58 year old white male, A Positive, 6 ft, 200 lbs, other wise healthy, sleep ok, but not great.

Answer
ALS and MS seem to be quite simular so I would work with it much the same. However, he said that in Lou Gehrig's you have high levels of iron deposited in the nerve tissue. Iron draws oxygen which causes severe oxidative damage. Getting this iron out of the tissues and then following a protocol similar to what you'd do for MS is the approach I would take. I would have to look at blood work to know which direction to go here.

I would encourage you to find someone to work with you. It is important to have someone to do this.

Here are some suggestions:
1. No wheat or gluten. Check for other allergies and follow a blood type specific diet
2. Work with supplements that are generally used for MS
3. Check for parasites
4. Use rotation method of various anti viral herbs
5. Use supplements that balance the Immune system like Colostrum or Astragalus.
6. Support muscle health. Damiana is known to stimulate muscles.

Supplements I would use would be:
IGF-1
IF-C
Noni
Adrenal Support
Lots of good fats like Super Omega 3
