Yesterday we went to the UMC in Utrecht for a follow up visit. Aim was to let me ask my questions which might have arisen after the diagnose. I knew already a lot, thanks to internet. I just wanted to know where I have freedom of choise. Many things about ALS frighten me. Well I have the choice to accept of refuse every treatment. Will I be brave enough to refuse anything? Time will tell. I am glad I am not living in Italy or Ireland!
For a start I chose to participate in a medical trial with Lithium. Lithium may give a lot of side effects, so it might not be benificial at all, but I want to make the effort to help scientific research to cure ALS. Among the side effects is: It improves depressed moods, and helps preventing mood swings. Well I can use that. But it can also cause: nausea, dry mouth, kidney damage, might affect thyroid, weight gain, etc etc. But also I have a 50% chance that I get a placebo: in that case no side effects at all. We'll wait and see.
Another investigation gives patients a big, big list with questions. The list came today. It took me several hours to fill in every answer. It appeared to me that I have spent a lot of time sitting behind a desk in my lifetime. What a waste of time. Too late now to change that.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Alaho for bringing so much joy and happiness into my life. For years, I struggled with the emotional and physical challenges of living with ALS disease. I was feeling hopeless until I reached out to him, sharing my concerns. He reassured me, telling me that it was a minor issue and that he had successfully helped many others in the same situation. At first, I was skeptical, but he sent me herbal medicine and guided me through the process. I followed his instructions carefully, and after just three weeks, I went for another test. To my amazement, I was confirmed cured permanently, something I had experienced for 13 years. It felt like a miracle. For the first time in so long, I was truly free from the condition. Thanks to DR. ALAHO, my life has been filled with laughter, peace of mind, and renewed hope. All thanks to my wife and my children and siblings that never gave up on me. You can contact him via email: DRALAHOHERBALHOME@GMAIL .COM, he has supplements for MND, MS, CANCER, LUNG DISEASE AND PARKINSON DISEASE.
