Nutritional issues and supplements in ALS-- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12394638 When tests indicate there are no neurological abnormalities, why are patients continuously referred long term to a neurologist? Has your neurologist ever discussed malabsorption and nutritional deficiencies due to liver disease and toxins?? Why spend millions on studies if no further action is taken with patients? Here is where it becomes controversial. Malabsorption may mean you cannot absorb nutrients from food sources or supplements. If your condition was labeled malabsorption, you would become eligible to receive nutritional IV's that are covered by insurance. The Myer's Cocktail, developed by a Georgetown doctor, was for that purpose. It contains vital nutrients including glutathione. ALS patients are noted for having low bile levels so that the digestive process can not be completed. Gel caps and tablets are not the best choices as those substances may not dissolve. LIquid supplements and/or patches are the best choices. All of the following have had extensive research: Green Magma, vitamins, B complex patches or sublingal, Edge Electrolytes, all 92 essential minerals, and Udo's Oils, omega 3, 6, and 9 with the correct balance of mgs. for better absorption. All can be added to a glass of Willard Water [one ounce to a gallon of spring water] as the WW expedites the nutrients 10x faster than if taken independently. WW was on 60 Minutes.
Common or overlapping etiologies in disparate neurodegenerative diseases have led to the promise that optimal nutritional care and the appropriate use of dietary supplements in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis will have implications for the nutritional management of other degenerative conditions such a...
