Hey Richard,
What you said about these people whose parents are diagnosed with ALS at the age of 70 or 80 is something I have thought before too. Then I felt so guilty for feeling that way. I know that they are going through the same pain that I am, even though their parent is 20-30 years older than my dad. It is hard not to get a little jealous though, isn't it? I find myself looking at elderly couples, and wishing that my parents could reach that age together. I try to focus on what my dad still has left, and not what he has lost. It is still tough though. My dad is 52, which doesn't seem very old at all. I do feel so lucky that he has a wonderful wife, 3 grown kids, and 2 grandchildren. But, one of my brothers has not been married yet, and I can't help but wonder if dad will get to see that day. I also want to have more children, and I want them to know my dad. I don't know what my family's future holds, but I know that we are very blessed to have each other. Life sure can be crazy.

Hi Richard & Dana,
Being that my mother is a PALS who is 70, I thought I would add something. I completely understand what you are talking about. My mother has said many times that she is very fortunate that she was able to live to 69 without this disease. She, and I realise how very fortunate we are. It truly breaks our heart to hear of young familys that are afflicted with this disease. Young children that are going to grow up without a prarent, or young people that may not have the chance of a long life. My heart sincerely goes out to those people! On another angle, I think the part that defies age is the fact that no matter what age my mother is, she is my rock! I love her more than I can express. I am only 31 and will some day in the not to distant future be without my mother. My 2 small (1 & 4) boys will not really get to know Nana, eventhough she lives with us. I realize how lucky she was to have children and grandchildren as many of you will not get that chance. Please don't feel guilty when you have those feelings, they are normal. I get them to for people who are older than my mother.

Hi Guys,
I do believe that the choices one makes with healthy eating and eliminating certain things from ones diet will maintain ones health longer. I know that Henry juiced raw fruit and vegetables daily, took certain vitamins and ruled out food groups that he knew would do him more bad than good. It is all about choices. Henry did have all of his mercury fillings removed and replaced with porcelin. I do believe the cost was worth it. He did very well for several years after doing this. Maybe he was just one of the lucky ones. It certainly did not hurt any. None of us here are here to push any certain type of homopathic lifestyle, however, we certainly can share what works for us and pass on the results. Personally, we spent many a dollar on this and that, and in the end diet and detoxing was the most positive outcome. And, again there are many ways we can handle our own healing and reading and picking out bits and parts of others expereinces is the best way to learn alternative methods. Good luck and just do what is best for you.
