Laurie - I have a friend who is only 50 and currently suffering from this disease.  It is a neuromuscular disease and has first affected muscle strength in hands, arms and now legs, but is also now affecting her voice and is getting quite painful.  This is a fatal disease and while I don't know of any miraculous drugs to halt it, I was hoping the oils might be able to significantly reduce pain and slow symptoms.  I may only have a year left with her, and that is going to be a very difficult year for her.

Please if anyone knows what to give her, I would be most grateful.

Tamalu - In my experiences with ALS, it is vital to first convey the importance of ELIMINATING soda pop. I tell my clients it is a waste of their money and everyone's time for them to continue drinking it, as it actually attacks the nervous system. Lots of water instead.  Add oils to the water, especially if she doesn't like the taste of water.  

It is a proven fact that we can eliminate disease with nutrition, and ALS is no different. "One year" may be what it takes for your friend's body to completely assimilate the tools it needs to reverse this condition, but I would start out right off the bat with the Lifelong Wellness Trio. Add to that the AromaTouch spinal technique.  I use the oils Balance, frankincense, myrrh, peppermint, and white fir. This technique can assist with pain relief. Deep Blue is very helpful for additional pain relief, and frankincense for physical and emotional pain. Don't be afraid to diffuse any of them, either. We have diffused Serenity with frankincense at night for more restful, comfortable sleep.  I also love helichrysum for anything associated with the nervous system, but if the cost is prohibitive for your friend, she will get some in the Deep Blue blend.

As I said before, "terminal" diagnoses are based on what the doctor is trained in. Most doctors today are not trained in nutrition, which is critical to wellness. My friend who started the oils cancer protocol in January and has been doing chemo along with it.  She is now getting her picc line removed in 2 weeks. (That is the IV line inserted to run chemo into the body). The doctors told her that she would never be cured of colon cancer and therefore would have the picc line for the rest of her life. Now it is being removed. (Sounds like a "cured" diagnosis?) If she can eliminate that terminal illness, what can your friend do with the proper tools?

Laurie - Thanks so much Tamalu, we are getting started on it immediately.  I visited her last night and introduced her to the concept of the oils, and she was quite skeptical, but after I massaged her terribly swollen feet and her atrophied hands, she couldn't believe how much better they felt!  I wish I lived closer, but I will get her the oils and hopefully teach her husband the spinal technique.
