hi guys
don't know if any of you are interested in taking lithium, but there was an article published by the national acadamy of sciences stating that lithium slows down the progression of ALS...you can see the pnas article on
www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/070822105v1.pdf (http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/070822105v1.pdf).
i go to my als clinic next wednesday and i am hoping that i will start my lithium regime.
if any of you are interested, there a lot of folks on the web that are
already taking lithium.

Thanks for the link, Dona. I've printed out the article and will definitely ask my doctor to put me on lithium. Carol
