Happy to accept the #icebucketchallenge nomination from Emily Lennox to raise awareness for ALS and support Boston College alum Pete Frates & in honor of Wake Forest University alumna Teresa Roberts. I nominate Courtney Evors , Any How and Kris Ott to complete this challenge and help raise awareness or donate $100 to ALS research. Ready, Go! Pete Frates’ wife Julie said that I needed to have some understanding of the disease ALS, so I googled it. I am a Wake Forest University alumna, & the Wake Forest School of Medicine happens to have an ALS Center with a Clinical Research Unit and a Translational Science Unit dedicated to ALS research and therapy. Teresa Golding Roberts is one of the more well-known alumni from Wake Forest (1980) who contracted ALS. Her husband Jon honored her life by helping to raise millions so far for ALS research. He started a scholarship for North Carolina teachers in her memory following her death in 2003 According to cancertutor/als/ , ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease is considered an “autoimmune disease” (although they later concede that this “theory” might be completely wrong). According to CancerTutor, the potential causes for ALS are the same as the causes for Multiple Sclerosis, another autoimmune disease. Many members of my family have been diagnosed with autoimmune disorders and with cancers linked with autoimmune disease. I found out that Celiac disease, another autoimmune disease (digestive), sometimes presents with neurophysiological abnormalities, such that it has been mistakenly diagnosed as ALS: nature/nrneurol/journal/v3/n10/full/ncpneuro0631.html ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17226827 celiacbrain/documents/hadjivassiliou-2002.pdf Multiple Sclerosis has seen a great deal of success (full remission) with Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine terrywahls/about-the-wahls-protocol/ As far as I know, Dr. Terry Wahls’ protocol doesn’t help everyone, but has helped many. She is a major funder of experimental trials now currently underway to determine if her protocol has significant healing potential for the majority of MS sufferers. If I or a loved one was diagnosed with ALS, I would be an daily visitor to this site: home.goulburn.net.au/~shackel/ (also translated in German). Steven Shackel is now in remission from ALS and says his “symptoms decreased significantly and have not worsened since late 1996”. He says that his regimen (which includes dietary, exercise, as well as stress-reducing therapy) doesn’t help everyone, but has helped many. Evidence linking neurological disorders with nutrient deficiency, processed foods, & environmental toxins (dental issues introducing microbial infection or mercury toxicity) abounds, but I only have 24 hours to post my video so here are just 2. sciencedaily/releases/2014/04/140407090403.htm https://mdc-berlin.de/40398578/en/news/2013/20130305-joint_press_release_of_the_max_delbr_ck_ce cancertutor/als/ Special thanks to Ian & Kadin Sladky for their help in filming this video, and to Fred Cesaretti for his moral support :)
