Nice tribute Patti.
Nice tribute Patti.
Amen
Great article Patti. I’m glad your father-in-law did not suffer too long with ALS. I’m not surprised that Charlie, Susan and Tony spent so much time with Carl and helped to make his last days as comfortable as possible.
Great story Patti !! Thanks for sharing :)
Great story Patti.
Great job Patti ♡
Awesome Patti!!
Great read!
This is a wonderful tribute to your father-in-law. It is so sad how ALS destroys people’s lives. The Ice Bucket Challenge is a great way to gain exposure for this disease. However, much of the funding goes to flawed animal experimentation. My uncle was diagnosed with ALS. As the disease progressed, he was given about 6 weeks to live. My sister is an acupuncturist. Her instructor, at the school she had attended, started treating my uncle with Chinese herbs. He lived to see the birth of his grandson and 1 1/2 years later died of pneumonia. Did the ALS Foundation help him? I don’t think so. It was a combination of his will to live and the Chinese herbs. There are alternatives to many diseases. Remember that Traditional Chinese Medicine is thousands of years old. ALS is a uniquely human disease. In animal research, “Researchers have artificially created animals who show some symptoms that resemble ALS. But as in so many disease areas, the animal “models” only mimic some of the symptoms of ALS and they differ in what symptoms they produce and the causes behind those symptoms. Thus these animal models are extremely poor substitutes for studying uniquely human diseases.”, Dr. Aysha Akhtar. We need to look in different directions at cleansing, detox, herbs, nutrition, etc. for the cure.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Albert Einstein quote.
My grandma has Lou Gehrig’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was diagnosed 2 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. Riluzole and Edaravone medicines are given, but won”t give much relief. She can”t eat food without choking. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their ALS Herbal Protocol. She started on the ALS/MND Treatment last year, her symptoms gradually diminished including her vocal cord spasm, Body Weakness and Difficulty with swallowing. Reach them at healthnaturalcentre.org , She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back )she have also resumed exercising to strengthen muscles!! God Bless all ALS 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.
Last year, my 68-year-old partner was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease also known as ALS. Speaking and swallowing were two of his challenges. His collapse was swift and catastrophic, and neither the riluzole nor the medical staff did much to aid him. He would not have survived if our primary care physician hadn’t given him attentive care and attention, as the hospital center didn’t provide any psychological support. His fall was abrupt and catastrophic. His hands and legs gave way to weakness in his arms. This year our family physician suggested using vine health centre ALS/MND treatment, which my husband has been receiving for a few months now. I’m delighted to say that the treatment greatly reduced and reversed his symptoms of ALS, he no longer requires a feeding tube, sleeps soundly, works out frequently, and is now very active. In the hopes that it could be useful, I thought I would relate my husband’s tale; in the end, you have to do what suits you the best.
After my husband Lou Gehrig’s disease diagnosis, our primary care provider introduced us to Uine Health Centre and their ALS/MND Formula protocol, the ALS/MND treatment has made a tremendous difference for my husband. His symptoms including numbness and muscle weakness all disappeared after the treatment plan!
I was diagnosed with bulbar ALS in May 2024. It was hard and I cry daily and couldn’t find anything to give me happiness or hope. I have been focusing on my faith. I was only losing my voice before i made the decision to try different medications, which significantly enhanced my condition. I received the ALS/MND treatment for my ALS approximately four months ago; since then, i have stopped using a feeding tube, speech is getting better by the day, sleeps well, works out frequently. I’m surprised a lot of PALs, and their CALs haven’t heard of it, google uine healthcentre. ne t. I’ve become very active
