We have added a naturopathic doctor to my care team. A Bastyr-trained teacher, she works out of Edmonds Wellness Center, some 40+ miles north of us. Dr. G administers my once-per-week Glutathione IV which is a powerful antioxidant that is supposed to halt cell death. Of course, ALS has no cure. We are aiming for slowed progression of symptoms particularly with regard to speech, swallowing, and breathing. So far, so good.
Additionally, we've been giving homeopathy a try at the Doc's behest. She thinks the combination of glutathione and homeopathic remedies can slow this rapid progression of ALS. Our "eggs are in her basket" so to speak. My first try was lackluster. The second caused a dramatic setback, increasing fasciculations, decreasing energy and strength. While we saw this as a bad omen, the Doc saw it different. She thought the reaction was indicative of the right combination needed to combat my symptoms. We have decided to give it another go.
Here we go...
