My Dad tried CBD oil for a long time, saw no real delay in his progression. Marijuana products are great anti-inflammatories and have properties which in fact may "cure" certain diseases, but I do not think anyone has figured out exactly how. I wish there were more studies (either scientific or honest people) because were pretty blind when it comes to Marijuana and its properties. We live in Texas, here Marijuana is very illegal, hopefully it will all change soon. Ive read and researched into some alternatives for ALS, as neuron-endings are the damaged goods, and in theory; there should be certain things that could work, but they do not. Ive read of Rife Machines and other very "far out" alternatives but who knows, when faced with something so difficult as ALS, the person affected by it and their families really have no time to think about what else is out there. Its very hard. I wish you and your loved ones the best.
