My son-in-law was diagnosed with ALS on Friday. He and my daughter are devastated and hardly know where to turn.

They will visit with a social worker this week, who will help them walk through the services they are going to need.

I am praying for your son in law, your daughter and the family today. That diagnosis has to be devastating. I think only treatment is available, not a cure.
I could be wrong about that.

Terribly sad news to one who lost his wonderful Aunt to ALS.

Prayers up for your Son In Law. Sadly there is no cure.

I am saddened of this diagnosis. Please know experimental drugs are becoming available. Hopefully Trump’s work allowing early access can benefit your family. I have said a prayer for all involved, as well.

Please read these, as there may be immediate things that can be done to help hold things off until medical therapy is taken:

Supplementing diet with amino acid successfully staves off signs of ALS in pre-clinical study:

Self-cannibalizing mitochondria may set the stage for ALS development (there are supplements that help mitochondria function better):

Gut microbes may affect the course of ALS (a specific probiotic type):

ALS patients may benefit from more glucose:

Eating bright-colored fruits and vegetables may prevent or delay amyotrophic lateral sclerosis:
