Treatment Options For Lou Gehrig Disease

Treatment options are real slim for ALS.

One thing I would try is to get tested for Lyme (which mimics ALS) by IGeneX. It costs about $450 but if it shows positive for Lyme, that's a lot better diagnosis than ALS.

Alternative options include chelation, cold laser, photon light beam, sauna, massages, percussor, hyperbaric chamber, supplements, rife machine, stem cell, live cell, mycoplasma vaccine, phosphotidycholine injections, but I really question the efficacy of any of the above.

Go to a forum called ALSTDI (google it for the address), and you'll see all the talk about treatments for ALS. I'm sorry to say it is not very hopeful.

There are many clinical trials underway, but there are no treatment options yet.

However, most ALS patients are subscribed with Riluzole, which slows down the progression of the disease.

I suggest you visit www.als.net for further information.

Thanks for the above answer. I haven't heard about this problem before this. thanks for the information.

The ALS disease is under research.Today it can't get cure.

But,muscle cramping and difficulty swallowing, and other drugs can slow the development of the disease.

There is NO treatment for ALS. The only drug Rilutek can lengthen the life span 3 months longer. Do not go online and fall prey to the many who claim they have an answer for this dreadful disease. My husband has been living with it now for over a year........things are getting worse everyday. I feel blessed for the time we do have together. I pray that one day there will be a cure, but for now, live each day as if it were your last.....cause it very well could be.

If your state has legalized Medicinal Cannabis, I would definitely give that a try. There have been multiple studies done showing the benefits of using high doses of Cannabis Oil to slow the progression of ALS.

There's been recent publication on using stem cells to
treat ALS; it was reported, several patients were getting better, for others the progress of ALS was slowed down.
