Caution: MS is different from ALS.
I recently listened to an interview with Dr. Terry Wahls.
In 2003 she was diagnosed with secondary progressive MS and soon declined to the point where she was in a tilt-recline wheelchair. She did research on medicines and didn't get very far. She then looked at vitamins and supplements and started to improve. She then decided to look at what foods provide the vitamins and minerals that were helping and decided to try a diet that provided those substances.
She is now able to ride a bicycle and is doing very well. This is a remarkable recovery.
What caught my attention was that her MRI initially showed lesions on her brain, and after her recovery they were still there. Her neurologist suggested that her protocol had re-wired around her lost function and restored what she had lost.
Knowing that MS is different than ALS, I dropped her a note explaining what we were seeing with oral sodium chlorite and asking if she thought her diet and protocol would help.
Now before I continue you must understand that I have sent inquiries to many medical and scientific professionals and never hear back from them. While I view this as outrageous, I have come to accept it as somewhat normal.
Surprise, surprise, surprise... She answered my email and did indeed think that her protocol and diet, while targeted for MS would also benefit people with ALS.
While I can tell you the difference between cavemen and cavewomen when it comes to diet, I am so encouraged that she took the time to answer that I will throw her information out for consideration.
Her website is

I am so impressed that she actually answered my email, she may be a good resource and may have some insight in regrowing lost connections.
