Hi kn-rn, I am sorry to hear of your MIL’s ALS diagnosis.
It has been over a year since my original posts here, and if my memory serves, I never did find a copy of the protocol mentioned by Dr. Gazda. I think Mad Dog Melvin sent me some info that was related to the topic, but not the protocol. Meanwhile, life events intruded on my efforts to help my brother, and I am still trying to find a way to stop or slow down the progression of the disease. He now is wheelchair bound, and his legs are very weak.
The most recent direction I am interested in pursuing is finding out if DMSO may be able to help slow/stop the progression of ALS. An article by The Midwestern Doctor on DMSO has generated a lot of excitement, with the number of hard-to-treat diseases and conditions it seems able to address. Another miracle drug that was buried by the medical establishment, from what I am reading. And there seems to even be a faint whiff of hope for stopping progress of ALS. [Reference the article: “How DMSO Treats “Incurable” Autoimmune and Contractile Disorders”, https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-dmso-treats-incurable-autoimmune , 10/20/2024.]
In the article, after a section on Multiple Sclerosis, the Midwestern Doctor adds the following:
“Note: there was also a reported case of Stanley Jacob treating a patient with ALS which resulted in “some instant, overnight and slightly delayed wonders of therapy,” and this user reported she saw it visibly improve the condition. In our own experience IV DMSO is one of the only things which can treat ALS (typically it halts the progression of the disease).””
So my thought was to try to find someone with knowledge and experience in the use of DMSO, ideally including its use for neurodegenerative diseases, and seek their advice. E.g., I might try checking with Dr. Kory and Scott Marsland at the Leading Edge Clinic (I know Dr. Kory has written about using DMSO, and I have consulted with Scott on health issues before ).
Alternatively, I would consider trying to consult with a highly reputable and experienced neurologist, who emphasizes identifying and treating the root causes of an individual’s disease (like Dr. Gazda).
I hope this helps, kh-rn. I would love to learn from others’ experiences as well!
