Current Research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which is associated with National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA, provides plenty of support to biomedical research on ALS.

The main goals of the research on ALS are to:

Identify the cause (s) of ALS
Understand the mechanisms involved in disease progression
Develop treatment for ALS

The parameters involved in the study include the following:

Understanding how select motor neurons degenerate in ALS and finding ways to halt motor neuron damage
Study the role of SOD1 mutations in neuron damage in animal models
Study the role of free radicals accumulation in neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS
Understand the involvement of the loss of neurotrophic factors in ALS
Find out the role of apoptosis in ALS
Identifying a reliable and common biological marker for ALS that will allow early detection
Identify the involvement of other genes, besides SOD1 genes
Develop potential therapies for ALS through animal model studies

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, he no longer requires a feeding tube. God Bless all Lou Gehrigâ€™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.

My grandma has Lou Gehrigâ€™s disease, she is about 75 years old it was diagnosed 2 years ago. Right now itâ€™s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she canâ€™t even move. Riluzole and Edaravone medicines are given, but won"t giveÂ 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.

My stepdad was diagnosed with ALS in the summer of 2013;Â His initial symptoms were quite noticeable. He first experienced weakness in his right arm and his speech and swallowing abilities were profoundly affected. We all did our best to seek help for this disease no medications they prescribe worked, we were all scared we might lose him due to his condition, as he had been his brother's caregiver a few years earlier for the same disease before he passed. The doctor recommends natural treatment from Multivitamin herbal cureÂ for his ALS we have no choice but to give a try on natural organic treatment, this herbal cure has effectively reversed my father's condition, losing his balance which led to stumbling and falling stopped after completing the herbal supplement which includes his weakness in his right arm and his speech. Home remedies fromÂ multivitamincare orgÂ is the best although their service is a little bit expensive it is worth it, they save lives.

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 Health Herbs Clinic, 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 www healthherbsclinic c o m

This was great, I have been researching for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across HealthHerbsClinic com Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis HERBAL FORMULA [just google it]. It is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing ALS completely. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
