Hi, Sorry for replying late. I have not been visiting this forum that frequently. We are still trying Dr. Vijaykar's treatment for over a year. I am not sure how helpful it has been so far though. MY mother's arms and legs have become weak but bulbar area is almost in similar condition. You can...

Just saw this. Really sad news. May god give peace to her soul and all the strength to her family..

Hi Nishant, Hope you are doing well. I am really sorry for replying so late. For some reason I didn't see your private message. We started Dr. Vijaykar's treatment in May-June, 2009 and we are continuing it. It seems to be stable but I cannot say for sure yet. But my mother's diet has improved...

Hi, I am really sorry for replying so late. For some reason I never noticed the message notification. We are consulting with Dr. Prafull Vijaykar who is very famous homeopathic doctor in Mumbai. I came to know about him from a person on another forum who told me that her mother's symptoms are...

2600 now with my 3 votes.

The doctor hasn't prescribed any special diet for her. She is eating the same things she used to eat earlier and she still eats her food slowly. For example, earlier she would only eat one or two indian breads (Roti / Chapati) with vegies but now she eats three roties consistently. Probably...

Just for an update: My mother visited the clinic again this week. We paid total $40 for fee and medicines for next two months. Next appointment is again in September. We haven't observed any noticeable difference yet in her speech. One positive thing that we have noticed is now her diet has...

I am really shocked to hear this. 30,000 people and more than 5000 new patients every year in US (worldwide this number is probably 10 times more) is too small? It seems unbelievable to me. Does it also mean there is no point donating to ALS-TDI for more research because even if they find the...

I agree with everyone. You look great, Al. -abhay

My mother went to this homeopathic clinic yesterday and has started their medication. We need to visit the clinic again in 2months. We paid total $80 for 2months medicines including $20 consulting fee. I will update again if we see any difference.

Thanks Beth/Nancy. I also have an open mind on this one and will certainly report back our experience. And I do believe that Dr. Prafull is a genuine homeopathic practitioner. He is more like an evangelist of "predictive homeopathy" and has written several books on the subject. I also came...

Al, I expected this kind of reply but still felt I should post it. Anyway, I do not have all the details yet but will certainly post when I have it. From the clinic's website, it seems the cost is based on the duration of treatment and should be $200-$300 for one year. It is not a clinic...

Hi All, I came across a 2-yr old (18th feb 2007) post in an orkut ALS/MND forum by someone whose Mother was diagnosed with MND. She mentioned that they are trying Homeopathic treatment. She also mentioned that the homeopathic treatment seems to have arrested the progress. I sent her a message...

i joined twitter today for the same reason and dont know much about it. I was wondering whether we need that "@realhughjackman" at the start of msg for it to appear on his page ... but with this our msg was more than 140 words... if thts the case then we might want to compress this message a...

What about having a really useful community (as useful as ASLforum with lotsa information) on facebook. There are number of ALS related communities but was not able to find a lot of information there and I wasn't sure which one to join. Probably if we have such a community with lot of useful...
