ALS Awareness Month: PBS documentary shows challenges faced by those living with ALS.

PBS

May is ALS Awareness Month. A good way to gain insight into the challenges faced by those living with ALS is by watching “Matter of Mind: My ALS”. It’s a documentary airing on PBS that provides a glimpse into the daily struggles of families living with this neurodegenerative disease.

From the PBS website:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease with an average survival time of 2-5 years from diagnosis. In this intimate exploration, three people with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, bravely face different paths as they live with this progressively debilitating illness.

Watch the film at the PBS website, here, or on YouTube.

  1. My husband who had been diagnosed with Bulbar ALS disease for 2 years at the age of 63 had all his symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from natural herbs centre. com after u ndergoing their ALS/MND natural protocol. God Bless all Lou Gehrig’s disease Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
