Hi Ahmed,

I tried both Radicava and Tudca.  I continued to progress. I didn’t notice anything.

Dagmar,

I guess I’m still doing okay despite having ALS.  Just a little frustrated with the length of time it takes new therapies to come to market.  Brainstorm’s Nurown for example has been in clinical trials for  more than 10 years!!  Besides that,  just doing all I can to slow progression.

Dagmar ,

I completley agree with you . I thought I’d give it a try after speaking with several PALS ho said it helped.  I’m glad I tried and can now pass my experience on.

i received my GAC injections  last week , but did not notice anything.  I was told that my strength would increase, however it did  not .

Dagmar,

GAC refers to glutamine/arginine/carnitine injections directly into the muscle.  it is supposed to give you the ability to regain some strength .

Hello Ahmed,

I have not received a lot of feedback yet.  I did speak to one lady who went to WMC, she had positive things to say.  I have ruled out corstem at this time due lack of efficacy and not able to speak directly with someone thats been there.

I was on Radicava for 6 months, I am very in tune with my body and decided to go off it because I wasn’t benefiting at all!  It was somewhat time consuming, but a small price to pay if it actually worked.  as mentioned previously I don’t think the FDA should have let it go to market with the limited testing that was done.

Ahmed,

Yes, i’m going to WMC, just waiting for the Corona epidemic to pass.

Hello Ahmed,

I didn’t actually go to Korea due to the fact they closed their plant for an FDA inspection.  I then opted for my second choice which was Sential in Mexico.  I received 360 million stem cells  via the carotid artery, unfortunately I haven’t noticed anything.   I am now planning a trip to China where i’ll receive neuronal  stem cell…[Read more]

Dagmar,

These stem cells are extracted from the spinal cord no our fat.  In layman’s term the stem cells have the ability to have an anti-inflammatory effect an neuro-protective qualities.  Here is a link to Coretem’s site.

It”s certainly not a cure, but may be a way to extend your time.

Hi Dagmar,

They aren’t making any promises, the best hope is that it slows progression somewhat.  It is not a cure.  It is approved by the Korean FDA, and they are undergoing approval in Europe.

I will have to return twice after my initial visit.  They have just got approval to freeze the stem cells, so they will only have to extract once.

Jean-Pierre,

I’m in agreement with everything you said, but must clarify the time it takes a new drug to get to market.  When we’re talking about a drug with marginal but real efficacy,  I believe you are correct in the 10 year range.  Although, for a drug that is discovered to have a profound effect on something like ALS, the clinical trial pr…[Read more]

Hi Amanda,

My diagnosis came right after I had an accident with a drill.  I tore the palm of my right hand quite badly.  It was sewn back up, but I got a bad infection, that I had to be treated with a strong IV antibiotic as well as an oral antibiotic.  My hand healed but I never got my strength back, it steadily weakened, then the ALS di…[Read more]

I was on Radicava (edaravone) for 5 months, I know my body extremely well and I’m certain it did absolutely nothing for me.  I stopped taking it even though it was supplied free of charge.

I din’t think Radicava should have been permitted to be marketed as an ALS treatment due to the sketchy trial, but this will continue to take place as long a…[Read more]

I was using drill when I had a bad accident, tearing the palm of my right hand, that happened four years ago (2015).  Since the accident I continued to lose strength in my right arm.  I went to my GP and complained about the loss of strength, he said it was due to the accident and to give it time.  I gave it more than a year and went back to my do…[Read more]

Yes, i was on Radicava from September 2018 until February 2019.  I quit taking it because it wasn’t doing anything.  Reports from from the other 200 patients on it in Canada show nothing positive either.  Unfortunately I believe it is an overhyped product that MT Pharma wants o make money on.  There is growing controversy in that it may do mor…[Read more]
