ALS SURVIVOR | Lou Gehrig's Disease story: 6 Pals (People w/ ALS): Harry

My hope is that this series will be able to educate & inform people about ALS.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy.
Over 5,600 people a year in the U.S. are newly diagnosed. There is no known cause OR cure & it can strike anyone, regardless of their age, gender, or race.
THANK YOU Harry for allowing us to share your story.

Harry recently passed away. What a positive, happy, good humored guy. He was a blessing to many & a very gifted creative in sound design & mixing... everything from Tiny Tunes to Frank Zappa to the X-Files & Batman.

Almost ALL food on earth has residues of toxic chemicals, sad but true. But fruits and veggies has much LESS bad stuff than meat/dairy/grains. Also, one can shop for organic = much less contaminants.

@hellspawnds ok. when i google the word "raw food" in google it comes up fruit and vegetables. before i google this raw food i read somewhere else that fruit has also heavymetals because they spray som kind of chemical to protect the food. im not sure but i dont know about if fruit have heavy metals. but is this raw food fruit and vegetables? there is gonna be a cure for this ALS just not now. i think its gonna take at least 20 years.

Some doctors do, actually. But it's still just a theory, not scientifically proven, so there's a lot of debate. Also the whole established medicine, with pharmacorps ruling and what not, there is lots and lots of bueracracy and narrowmindness in the system. Don't wanna come off as the guy with the tin foil hat, but anyone knows that conventional medicine of today is all about drugs, money and contempt for alternative theories.

@hellspawnds thats good. thanks for the advice. :) i dont have ALS but in case i get it someday i will use your advice. how come doctors dont say that this is caused by heavy metals? they havent found the reason for why people get ALS

She has regained a lot of mobility in her arm, and most of her speech. (Was fully mute due to tounge paralyzed before). She started a strict raw food diet (google raw food), and supplemented heavily with Chlorella algae (dried powder), read up on it. It has strong cleansing abilites.
