    Hi All

    Hope you are in great spirit!

    I came across this news: a breakthrough discovery at Tel Aviv University :

    NJGuy started the topic Has anyone added sulforaphane in diet? in the forum Research Topics 7 months, 1 week ago

    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/

    I think any dietary source for sulfur can be really useful, vegetables that are good source for sulforaphane are : broccoli, cauliflower, kale,…[Read more]

    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????

    NJGuy replied to the topic Using immunosuppressant drugs to halt / slow down ALS progression in the forum Research Topics 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    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 Andrew,

    Thank you so much for sharing the information about Ibudilast, this is exactly the same idea that I mentioned above. Here is a link which describes the trial related to this drug

    MN-166 (Ibudilast)

    This drug works to modulate/control the immune system for either genetic / sporadic pALS.  It plays important role…[Read more]

    Hi All

    Hope you all feeling great today!

    I have been reading a lot about causes / possible mechanisms / possible treatments for ALS.  Among other possible causes (inflammation / toxicity / genetic / gut microbiome / protein folding / mitochondrial etc ) one of the possible one is response of immune system to the antibodies, T cells, chemokines…[Read more]

    NJGuy replied to the topic Coffee and NAD+ — Anyone see any improvement with these two? in the forum Living With ALS 9 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

    Hope you all feeling better!

    I came across this article – Coffee and NAD+  I was a coffee drinker when working in office before Covid pandemic started (sometime in Mar 2020), but then working from home that was discontinued.

    I have now included at least two cups of coffee and NAD+ along with other supplements for about a couple of…[Read more]

    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 9 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.
