There is no known cure that I’m aware of. However, there are a couple of drugs that need to be approved by the FDA which have shown reversal in some. Not full reversal but reversal of symptoms. For instance there is a woman who was completely paralyzed and after one treatment of NurOwn she could move her fingers. There are cases of people improving their speech, improving their walking, improving their breathing, etc. There’s also another drug that fights inflammation Which I believe had also shown symptom reversal in some. Both drug companies are in the process, I believe, of requesting approval but it’s very, very difficult to get the FDA to approve anything. We need backing of the ALS Association but I don’t know that they back either of those treatments. The organization I am ALS is a good one to get involved with. In my opinion they are the ones that got the AACT for ALS passed.
