Hello friends:)
Hope you are all doing great!
I came across following article regarding how Sulforaphane works as neuroprotective phytochemical.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23983898/

Yes I totally agree with Richard 🙁
And there seems to be no action plan or initiative, and the trials take their own pace.
AND pALS are suffering! And God only knows when there will be a real cure!
What is the way out????

Hi Jim
Actually there is a clinical trial (recruiting now) which I mentioned earlier. So my doctor says I should go for that. But I am thinking to buy on my own, and for my doctor to prescribe this drug, I need to wait a few weeks due to holidays. One of the Japan pharmacy may not need prescription –> https://bio-japan.net/ketas-ibudilast. The…[Read more]

Hi
I think I would better order Ibudilast from Japan rather than to be on trial, since on trial there will be 50/50 chances to be either on drug or placebo.
@Andrew, Thank you so much for your inputs!
Wishing all the best to you all!

Hi All
Hope you all feeling great today!
I have been reading a lot about causes / possible mechanisms / possible treatments for ALS.

NJGuy replied to the topic Coffee and NAD+ — Anyone see any improvement with these two? in the forum Living With ALS 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides, NAD and NADP (NAD+), are indispensable cofactors involved in several redox reactions in all forms of cellular life. NAD+ is <b>an electron carrier which will pick up electrons during the</b> course of cellular respiration. Very important for the cell functions.

Hi Duane & Susan
sorry to reply to this so late!
I had always been to my primary just for annual check ups, and last couple of years my PCP saw the cholesterol on border line and he told me to be careful, and so I had stopped or reduced on fatty foods – 1% milk, avoiding cheese/pizza and fried food etc. And in almost 1 year of trying to lower my…[Read more]

NJGuy replied to the topic Riluzole side effect in the forum Living With ALS 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I started with Riluzole 50mg 2/day but after taking for about 4wks, it gave me lot of weakness and lost appetite, so I talk to my neurologist, he suggested to stop for sometime. After stopping I really felt much better. I am thinking of taking 1/day.
