ALS is a progressive and degenerative disease of the muscles and nervous system. It is a progressive breakdown of the cells of the spinal cord and causes atrophy and loss of muscle function. It affects men (mostly) over the age of 40, averaging 5 of every 100,000 population.
Symptoms of ALS include speech hesitancy, foot drop, progressive muscular weakness, progressive muscular deterioration, weakened voice muscles, and speech problems. The symptoms first start by twitching and weakness in the hands and move to the arms. Last stages affect the diaphragm and swallowing.
Allopathic medicine offers no help except with some symptom relief (including side effects and toxicity). Natural medicine may help to relieve symptoms and give a higher quality of life with little or no side effects.
The whole neuro-endocrine system is unbalanced. Natural remedies for ALS may slow or stop the progression.Start the healing process with Dr. Christopher’s mucusless diet and cleansing program.
Diet – stop smoking, drinking alcohol, coffee, black tea, and eating processed foods.
Supplements known to build muscle (research based): Co Enzyme Q10 – 300-900mg per day, also heart (muscle) protective; L-Carnitine at 1000mg twice daily on an empty stomach.
