Hi,

Today was also the same he felt hungry eat more then usual, lunch and dinner, today he had a session with the chinese Doc, he said theres little improvement, His toung is coming out little further, which is making him eat better and swollowing a bit easy also. I really hope this keeps up,

For me the last two days just having him eat a fulfilling meal is great hope. plus no chocking in last two days.

I really hope and pray this keeps up.

Mohammed,

I support the use of acupuncture meridian therapies in ALS and appreciate these postings on your fathers progress. I have personally used acupressure only in gaining temporary but repeated use of a paralysed adductor muscle in the inner thigh of an ALS patient.

However, I must comment on your subsequent post regarding your father's medical care.

Please remediate effects of father's chest X-ray on his spinal column. He can't afford the oxidative stress on his motor neurons. He will have delayed late radiation effects within the next four years from the inflammation. You will never know it was from the diagnostic X-ray. Ionizing radiation interferes with the function of the potassium channels which are necessary for muscle function. Radiation also causes viral growth to increase exponentially.

Use antioxidants before, during, and after exposure to X-ray like dark chocolate, green tea, melatonin, tumeric, and horseradish as well as aloe vera for the inflammation related to a burn. Post-radiation injury is very, very difficult to remediate.

ALS patients should ask the question, "Is this radiation exposure necessary for the sustaining of life?" If the answer is "No", then avoid it because you can't afford it, physiologically speaking.

It is inconceivable for me to understand the rampant and inconsiderate abuse of medical X-ray in a debilitated patient. I don't support the radiation of a patient with a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis when radiation therapy is known to create neuronal scarring (sclerosis) and subsequent paralysis particularly when no protective measures are put in place by the attending physician. It is medical negligience of the highest order yet it is the standard of care all over the world.

Hi Donna,

Thank you for the information you have provided on x-rays, I really had no idea it had so much damaging effects on Als patients. I will surly take care next time.

I really believe your right as the Chinese Doc said the same. Not only x-rays he said any medicines will harm the nerves.

I have asked the Chinese Doc if the treatment is temporary as you mentioned about your patient as you can understand I was worried for my father, He said if you apply it on a specific area it is temporary very true, but if you treat it over all then it has long lasting effects, like treating the immune system with the spine and when you see positive results there, then you go for the effected areas with out taking medicines as then you can understand where its effecting and how to move forward on it. Actually that’s my explanation of what I understood from him.

Oh forgot to mention in my last two posts my Father stopped all the meds like 4 or 5 days back ( the pain killers and some anitibiotics I talked about in my previous post)that might also be a reason for him for eating better or the little improvements he’s having, this time will tell.

I am open to any advice and ready to explain as much as I understand.

Now I really feel that Acupuncture must be part of any therapy for all Als patients as it not a cure but at least it improves the quality of life and there is no harm in trying it.

Yesterday was my dad completed his 21st session of Acupuncture, And will carry on till the improvement come to a halt.

Today’s Update

Today was my fathers 22nd session. Chinese Doc said there is little more improvement today and his throat is responding better that might be the cause for him eating better.

Today he also injected him with B1,B6 vitamins.

He’s very hopeful that more recovery will continue.

For normal activity it was normal less saliva, eating was good he eat a lot, no chocking for the forth day I hope this continues, for the last 8 days no breathing problems.

That’s it till date

Take care all.
 
Hi All,

Replying late as my father missed one session of acupuncture this week. So he will be having his 23rd session later today. The gap is of 10 days this time (normally it’s of 2-3 days gap/session), I think it was a good exercise also to check if the Acupuncture was temporary solution or would the effects last longer.

Good news there was no change but improvements to my surprise, No chocking once in the last 10 days, no Breathing problems and very less saliva this week, This week I could even understand some words he said.

I really pray this works for him, anyway my Cousin came to meet us after a month, and he said clearly there is definitely an improvement in my dad.

I think I forgot to mention that my father goes to work on daily basis 9-3 mon-sat even in worst conditions he didn’t let his job go for that I am really proud of him for not giving up and keep fighting.

Well that’s for today will keep you updated.

Take care all

Sorry for the late update,

Alij79 the acupunctuarist name is Dr.Wong, hes in F-7/2, in rana market oppsite to the mosqe.

I hope it works for you.
 
I'm re-reading your posts and you talked about some breathing exercise your father was doing

Could you please elaborate a little about this exercise? Did the doctor prescribe some other exercise?

thanks
 
I am so Glad that it is helping your Father and THANK YOU for posting the updates!
 
I was very busy at work for the past week so couldn't update.

Anyway here it is, Dad is ok no down turns.

Eating is strong his weight is stable keeps going 1 kg up or down.

No breathing problems. He has started breathing from his nose so I think thats a good sign.

@ _Saj_ about the breathing exercise, As I explained before at any free time my dads gets, he takes deep breath while pushing the lower part of stomach in while inhaling the keeps it in for 3-5 sec and then lets go 15 times a sitting. also uses mouth guard like the boxers ware so he can only breath from his nose.

now days we can understand him little better on and off, swallowing is better tong looks really normal zero spasm.

as its really cold here dad got a bad cough 4 days back but recovered with in two days that was quick and i hope its some sort of improvement.

Thats it for now, all reading this please pray for my dad.

Thanks and Bye for now.
 
I GOT A PRIVATE MSG FROM SOMEONE, I HOPE YOUR READING THIS AS I TRIED TO SEND YOU A PRIVATE MSG BUT YOUR NOT EXCEPTING ANY.

SO HERES YOUR ANSWER.



HI,

I really hope its not ALS for you, but what really concerning is your balance, which is not a good sign.

if your lip is dropping then i would recommend going for acupuncture as it might not be permanent solution, but it will cure most of the symptoms. and increase your quality of life.

below is the lady doctors name and the website of the hospital where you can ask for information and make an appointment. **stem cell links and contact information removed by moderator**

also i am giving you a link for stem cell in Thailand you can check that out if you have the resources and if your in the begning stages then it might help you, when I brought my dad here they where new at this and at that time it costed 16000USD (should be less now, the cells are taken from your fat and IV back in to you )so I cant really afford that much so i couldn't try it if I had the money I sure would have tried it for my dad.

Wish you best of luck and do keep me updated on how it goes or any other information you need let me i will try my best to help.

Best Regards.
