Amyotrophy Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.

REASON FOR COMING FOR TREATMENT:First symptoms started in June 2004. The disease progressively got worse until right before the treatment when he was confined to a wheelchair and had limited use of his hands.
TREATMENT: Umbilical Cord Stem Cell and Nerve Growth Factor Injections with Rehabilitation Therapy
START OF TREATMENT: February 12, 2006
BEFORE THE TREATMENT: He could not get up out of his wheelchair without assistance and would otherwise risk losing his balance. He could only raise his hands to chest when laying on a bed. He had trouble swallowing. He could not move his facial muscles well or stick out his tongue. He was taking Baclofen, 10 mg, three times a day to prevent muscle spasticity.
AFTER THE TREATMENT: He had increased mobility in his hands. He could get out of his wheelchair by himself. He could walk on his own. He had an easier time swallowing. He could move his facial muscles when having a shave. He could stick out his tongue. He could turn his hands out more and move them out to the sides more.
