Russell Cowger replied to the topic Living Healthier since your diagnosis? in the forum Living With ALS 3 years, 4 months ago
Before diagnosis I would use lots of protein powders for breakfast also use workout supplements. I had thought that it was the amino acids that started my fasiculations so stopped that first. Now I only eat regular foods. I did try Keto in the beginning but found that high protein low carb for me makes my fasiculations more intense. So now I eat…[Read more]

Russell Cowger replied to the topic "ALS reversal' — Is it possible? in the forum Living With ALS 3 years, 4 months ago
I do believe that we can heal ourselves. The question is can we find out what it is that will cure each of us individually. I don’t think one thing made each of us sick. I believe its a combination of things and finding out what reverses that is what is complicated.

I will have my second visit for qualification of the trial on the 24th of October. I am honored to be invited to try. The fact that I could get a placebo kinda sucks but glad I get the chance to try.
On different note:
I am really curious about the fecal transplant trial that I seen was going to be happening soon.

Russell Cowger replied to the topic Exercise and ALS in the forum Living With ALS 3 years, 9 months ago
I am still trying to wrap my head around all this exercise and not having enough time. I still jog about 00:11:30 min mile and I’m 5’11” so it is pretty slow. I am trying to work my way back up up in distance again after 3 week break. I was jogging about 2 miles. The funny thing is I almost jog better than I walk with my drop foot. I stretch…[Read more]
