    Lost my 47 year old daughter from this disease. She died 6 years ago and left behind 3 great children. My strength has come from seeing how they have continued to make her a proud Mom by continuing and graduating from college and/or working. They were teenagers when they lost her but persevered through their loss. I only wish I could see a cure for ALS before I myself pass away.

    I want to share with you a great source about ALS cure as usual the only research that the ’scientists’ will do involves increasing big pharma profits. They will never cure anything as they can make more money by keeping people reliant on drugs, and they will do everything possible to discourage others from trying other medications like herbal medicine but thank God i never listen to them despite all they did to convince me that my mom ALS has no cure when she was diagnosed 2 year ago. Am happy to inform you all that my mom is free and completely cured of ALS b after using Dr James herbal formula, the formula works like magic . Always learn to follow your heart refuse to be discouraged there is no problem without a solution. My mom is back on her feet stronger than before thanks allot Dr. James Ehimare contact James for his herbal formula via jamesherbalformula@gmail.com you can call him or chat live with him on whatsapp via +2349057856543

The familiar ALS is supposedly rare, but seems to be a lot of stories like yours that contradict that. take with a grain of salt but my opinion is that it has to do with either chronic fatigue where you're exerting your body a lot in a stressful situation, or a contaminant that breaks the blood brain barrier like nanoparticle aluminum which is an adjuvant in vaccinations and used in cloud seeding and weather modification.

    Beautiful family you have and sorry for your loss. My Stepdad was diagnosed about 3 months ago and is mostly respiratory. They gave him 1-4 years but Hospice has already been called in. It is a cruel disease and along with soo many other people im sure I just find myself asking why is this happening to such a good person?! It is very difficult for me to see him struggle to talk and breathe. I've just had to keep my faith in the good lord and trust what his plan is as hard as that is to understand right now. Prayers for anybody going through this disease 🙏 Hope there can be a cure someday

    I pray for you. My dad had it and I worry about familial ALS, so I can't imagine the stress of so many in your family effected and the stress of your own future. My dad was vaccinated for shingles just prior to symptoms and the military has a full service connection for anyone that served 2 months or more, so there is evidence that nano partical aluminum that is an adjuvent in could trigger the immune response that effects motor neurons. Take that for what it's worth, I'm no MD, but it's worth consideration if you are at high risk to begin with.

I found out through a CT scan a Rheumatologist diagnosed me with Degenerative joint disease aka osteoarthritis. Joint damage on the ct scan. I've also had numbness/tingling in both sides of my body. My bones hurt. My primary said he refer me over to neurology because my neurological exam is "a bit off." my legs feel like cements attatched to them. Achy. I hope this is arthritic related.
