Case Study
A 70-year-old woman had been diagnosed with major Bulbar Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) by four prominent neurologists from major
medical centers in the southeastern U.S. Her specific symptoms
included:
* Difficulty in swallowing, speaking, and breathing
* Muscle cramps in various parts of her body
* Major fasciculations in various places
* Massive diarrhea all of the time
She was told by a neurologist that there was nothing that could be
done for her condition. ALS is characterized by a progressive
degeneration ending in death within 3-5 years after diagnosis.
Clearly, the prognosis for this woman was bleak.
At our center, she underwent a variety of laboratory evaluations
involving:
* Neuro-immunological investigations
* Toxicological studies
* Nutritional evaluations
* Biochemical assessments
* Detoxification profiles
The findings were just as suspected. The tests revealed the following:
* Abnormal liver detoxication
* Elevated mercury levels
* Autoimmune neurotoxicity with multiple autoantibodies to various
protein fractions of the central nervous system
* Nutritional deficiencies
* Signs of liver toxicity from chemicals
Based on these findings, she underwent a regimen of therapies. The
treatments were idiotypic antibody therapy, therapy to improve the
integrity of the nerve cell membranes, nutritional therapy, and
detoxification therapy.
Within 2-1/2 months, almost all of her symptoms had completely
disappeared. She still has some problems with her voice; this may be
permanent. Every other symptom mentioned above has disappeared.
As far as I am aware, this is the first time remission has occurred
with an ALS patient. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the
therapy employed with this patient has arrested the course of this
disease. We are hoping that this work can be continued with other ALS
patients. Because this is purely experimental and investigative, the
financial constraints are significant. However, the significant
improvement in this patient's condition should be extremely
encouraging to others faced with this disease.

I don't say it's a scam, it's possible that the purveyors of this
'treatment' really believe what they're saying. But they make a lot of
claims and offer no studies to back it up. In short, they're just trying
to sell you something. I doubt that it's anything you want or need to buy.
