Comment

I think Lou Gehrig, together with Stephen Hawking (later) has done for ALS more than anyone else ever. His value is not only in the raising awareness area. I believe his well documented life, his personal traits and life attitude will show value in breaking the disease. Wait for it. I was studying a bit his story and you can read my speculative Iron Horse post.

Fight against ALS disease needs to be lead by employing below generic tactics (details are part of this website too):

1. Stabilization of PH across all body fluids
2. Excretion of heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium) and toxic metals (aluminium) from body via natural chelatation and detoxification procedures
3. Supporting immune system using all known means (supplementation, natural immune boosters)
4. Supporting ALS ill organism with radical diet ("Kernel mode diet") with rich antioxidant and quality nutrition components
5. Putting special focus on resting, breathing exercises, regulated sun exposure, keeping healthy and positive morale
6. Support from other people who need to be also positive and believe in real improvements, words like fatality, incurability are forbidden and forgotten words
7. Avoiding all strenuous activities and focusing on regulating all types of stress as much as possible (physical stress, psychic stress)
