Hello everyone,
I’ve recently started seeing a Naturopath as I’m wanting to take a more holistic approach to my health/MND.
She has put me on numerous supplements beyond what I’ve already been taking, is wanting to improve my gut health, which is good, and made recommendations regarding my food...
There have been several posts supporting fasting to improve autophagy - a cleanup process that helps sort aggregated proteins. I think this is a bad idea for ALS. I have C9orf72 mutation. New data suggests that this mutation inhibits the autophagy process in the starvation state. Other data...
Dear forum users,
I've read over several threads and you are so patient and kind to everyone that visits, I take my hat off to you.
I tried my best not to post here, telling myself I am silly for thinking and regret the day I thought it would be a neat idea to Google my symptoms (this should be...

So, here I am exactly one week out from my husband's death. It was really only after he actually passed that I have started to realize the absolute hellfire we went through together.
There was beauty, love, and moments of joy for sure. I am very sure I never felt closer to or loved another...
Hello! Thank you for allowing me to post this on this forum. I really appreciate any insight!
About a year ago, I was diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity, hiatal hernia, and too much stomach acid. I was placed on a medication and a gluten-free diet. After a few weeks, I noticed some twitching...
I’m concerned about my symptoms I’ve been facing them for just under 6 months.
Let me start out by saying that my life is very stressful. I manage about 500 people all over the world. The ups and downs of corporate politics are very impactful and my stress level in the last 6 months has been...

First, let me preface this by saying I am 100% a hypochondriac. I constantly think something is wrong with me and even if someone says something jokingly to me (which is how this whole ALS suspicion started) I freak out about it. To be honest, I haven't seen my doctor about these issues yet as...
G'day everyone.
So it's coming up to a year now since I've first been on here - you can read my following threads (though I really don't advise this):
Another "Bulbar ALS?" Thread
Ongoing ALS concerns...
I am now a 30-year-old MD currently living in Australia. I know on my last thread I said I...
I wasn't sure if I would post this at all. After deciding I had no idea where to post it but, for me, it feels like a rant/complaint so here it is.
Since my diagnosis I've always believed that I should take good care of my general health, get some good sun each day possible, get some light...
To preface — I’ve read the READ FIRST posts, so I hope all details below are relevant.
29 year old, smoker for 8 years.
About 3.5 years ago I noticed minor tightness in my throat that I payed no attention to at first. Over the course of time I became more aware of slightly labored breathing...
