Question:
Has anyone heard of any holisitc/natural medicine cures for Lou Gehrig's disease or any other nerve disorders?

My boyfriend is 48 years old and has been suffering for over 13 years with what was diagnosed at Lou Gerhrig's disease. They told him he would die within five years and he has survived it. Two discs in his neck, c-3 and c-4 I believe, have deteriorated and compressed the nerves in that area causing severe parlysis and deterioration of the muscles in his right arm. I graduated from a natural health school with a degree in massage therapy, so I've been given him massages alkmost every other night. When I first began working on him about two years ago there was a significant recovery period, the muscles in his arm were growing and he was even able to weight lift a bit at the gym. Then, I worked on him less and less as his recovery got better. In April of this year, however, things got worse and have been getting worse atat a very alarming rate. There's hardly any muscle in his arm, it hangs limp at his side and he can't use it at all. If anyone has any advice please reply.

Answer: There are no proven facts as not many studies have been performed, but Chlorella and Spirulina are said to help with nerve disorders tremendously.These are algae that are grown in large ponds and packaged into pills. They are close to being considered a whole food as they have nearly all the nutrients our bodies need. Spirulina has anti cancer traits and chlorella binds to heavy metals in the body and effectively detoxifies the body.They are not that expensive, $6 for spirulina and $20 for Chlorella at GNC but think....if it helps at all that $26 was well worth it, though to get effects youd need to take continous large doses.Try searching online for Chlorella and Spirulina, you'll find all you need to know about them, but here is a great site to start you on your research. I haven't tried them yet but plan on trying it soon.http://www.chlorellafactor.comGood luck! I hope he finds some relief! I had Cauda Equina Syndrome (very rare where the nerves become over inflamed and cause massive pain like intense frostbite and often paralyzes the toes and leaves the entire saddle area numb) I could not use the bathroom without a catheter or enema for a week, but luckily I recovered. I know how it is and I hope he can find some relief at least.
