off-topic question

Hey Everyone,

Hope everyone is well and thanks in advance IH for any help you can offer.

It's shitty news but a good friend of mine is looking at an ALS diagnosis and the doctors (as usual) are not offering much more than to watch him fall apart and die. I have looked into it a bit and think it's possible that it is Lyme disease but who knows. Anything you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks man,

dex - If it turns out to be a "positive" diagnosis for ALS, the very first thing to take immediately is Lithium Orotate.

Lithium can halt or slow down significantly, the progression of the disease. Taking 10 milligrams twice per day of Lithium Orotate with Omega-3 fatty acids, preferably Krill oil.

High dose Creatine 10 Grams is very useful in ALS (Anti-catabolic)

R-Dihydrolipoic acid with Acetyl L-Carnitine Arginate (Neuroprotective, slows down progression).

If person is on statin drug (have them eliminate it immediately).

High dose Ubiquinol - 300 milligrams

Try a "poor man's" Lyme test using a treatment to see if symptoms improve. This involves taking both
Tetracyclic oxindole alkaloid free cats claw (Nutricology sells this) and MMS (chlorine dioxide).

In regards to creatine recommendation i've caught the bodybuilding bug again but this time I'm doing it right and the results have been much better than when I tried in my sick days. Anyway is creatine safe and effective?

isaac - Creatine is safe. I plan on using it when I get older, because it's a marvelous way to prevent age-related sarcopenia whether one works out or not.

Creatine does enhance energy (ATP production), performance and helps hydrate the muscles.

Here's just one of the latest studies showing how it protects against muscle atrophy:

Aging just plain sucks

What about glutamine CS is this also effective against muscle atrophy? I've heard the fermented glutamine is quite effective. I have a friend who says it definitely works (he uses Seacure & glutamine when he fasts). Well Wisdom seem to have a new kind out http://www.wellwisdom.com/a_glutimmune.php

Thanks IH. I appreciate your help and will pass this along to my friend.

isaac - Glutamine? Yes absolutely, it slows muscle breakdown also. This stuff should be utilized in hospitals, because anyone who is sick cannot make it while they are under going repair. Also it's a Glutathione booster.
