Be Careful With Threonine

Warning
I have been helping a friend with ALS/Lou Gehrig's through the treatment recommended starting with the Lysine and Threonine as foundation. The Threonine dramatically increased mucous production in my friend and her breathing, which was strong before, had suddenly become labored. I did some more research on the Threonine and discovered on the WebMD site's description of Threonine side effects stating:
"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease): There is some concern that threonine might decrease lung function in patients with ALS. In one study, ALS patients taking 4 grams of threonine per day had significantly reduced lung function compared to patients who did not receive threonine..."
And this is exactly what we saw. With all the symptoms of ALS she showed, the reduced lung function has not yet been one of them. But the introduction of Threonine directly coincided with a dramatic effect on her breathing. She said it felt like an elephant sitting on her chest.
On the positive, she previously had a clenched feeling in her throat that was pinching and really wearing her down. Since taking the Threonine, this has noticably relaxed and made it much easier to bear. But the thick mucous increase and belabored breathing is a bit scary, especially since many ALS sufferers die from this aspect. We are stopping the Threonine in hopes that her breathing will return to normal. If it doesn't I may counteract it with arginine, but I know this supports the possible viral function that we are attacking with Lysine. So I want to be careful and take it one day at a time.
I just felt it important to share this experience in case it is of help to anyone else out there.

An update on my friend who stopped Threonine due to a dramatic reduction in breathing capacity. Within 48 hours of stopping the Threonine, her breathing capacity has improved. She said this morning that she is feeling about 90% recovered to the state she was at before starting the Lysine/Threonine. The annoying mucous production has also subsided and she is feeling comfortable.
She has a relative that is a massage therapist and has been using clove oil, as suggested, in working it into the back of her neck and spine. It is helping her be a lot more comfortable, whether its the massage, the oil or both, we don't know, but she has been free of the cramping, spasms and pain she previously struggled with.
Check for Low Potassium

I was just watching Eric Berg on youtube teach help for RA and he was talking about how low potassium is behind it and then he said low potassium can cause cortisol issues. So that is interesting. I read years ago on some graph that low potassium was noted in ALS and another crippling disease. It stuck in my brain. Not sure what that site was it was so many years ago, it was a graph of minerals in different diseases. I was circling trying to solve my own health issues, the graph was made from using hair analysis.
This cortisol link with potassium is huge. Most people are cortisol resistant due to too much trauma overload and insulin resistant due to too much sugar but also can be caused by stress and not diet. I read in one site that a diet with no refined sugar but loads of stress made teeth rot out below the gum line from cortisol/
Cortisol production drains the whole body of minerals and hormones and nutrients. I guess that is why the bible says fear is a sin. I hope this opens a window for you for some fresh air.

Coconut Oil

TO MR TED, I am treating a case ALS presently and I found at many sites on the web that the coconut oil ( or MCT OIL) is very helpful with many positive results. You write on your pages to do not use ANY OIL ?? What do you think about these very good results and are you encouraged to use it ?? Your opinion will be very appreciated.
Also from all information, you put on your pages in regard to the colitis ulcerous, please be informed I treated 4 cases with 100% success without any recidive. Thank a lot to you.
Waiting yours comments,

Hi Roger...Here is Ted from Bangkok's protocol for late stage ALS. ALS, according to Ted, appears to be caused by adenovirus. Here is the remedy that he used:
"There is a lot of things you can do. The most important is the mucus and toxins. N acetyl cysteine 4000 mg 6 times a day and taurine 1000 mg 4 times a day. This will remove toxins. Methylene blue 0.1% 20 drops morning lunch and dinner. Adenovirus can be protected with poly lysine 1000 mg 3 times a day to kill it.
Ted"
The child was in late stage ALS and in coma when he was put on Ted's regimen. When the parents took him out of hospital the doctors gave the boy 24 hrs to live. but the boy came out of coma and improved.
You can read all about his treatment here:
http://ted.earthclinic.com/cures/als-natural-treatment-supplements2.html
So, for adults, Ted's protocol would be thus:
N-Acetyl Cysteine -- 4000 mgs 6 times a day
0.1% Methylene Blue -- 20 drops mixed with 1000 mgs vitamin C in a half glass of water -- take this morning, lunch and dinner.
Taurine and Lysine each at 1000 mgs 4 times a day. Take them together dissolved in or with water.
Other useful remedies from Ted wrt ALS:
Rubbing ACV or vinegar directly on the back of the neck with help to kill the virus in the neck and brain regions.
Use 2% Lugol's Iodine mixed 50%-50% with DMSO. Apply this topically once a day along the whole length of the backbone and neck. DMSO will help the iodine to penetrate the bone to help kill ALS virus hiding in the synovial fluids there. Povidone Iodine is well known to kill adenovirus through research so lugol's iodine will do the same. Povidone Iodine cannot be ingested or used internally -- which is why you must only use the lugols iodine form(which can be ingested or used internally). Colloidal silver + DMSO could also perhaps be used like this with similar beneficial effects.
Rubbing drops of clove oil + aloe vera oil along the whole length of the backbone and neck area will also help to chase out the virus from the synovial fluids in the bone into the blood where the immune system can more easily kill it.
Take Lithium Carbonate 1.5 to 5 mgs per day.
You can buy most of the above nutrients from the health shop or internet vendors. You can purchase Methylene Blue at any aqua-culture shop that deals with fish tanks and fish for display. Methylene Blue is used in aqua-culture to help kill bacteria and fungus on the fish. MB is normally sold at 2.3% strength so you may have to dilute it down to 0.1% strength for use as Ted advises.
Consider Antiviral Remedies

Posted by Mr Don (Gold Coast Australia) on 01/14/2014: My 70 year old wife has ALS for at least 8 months she is finding it hard to talk now and has trouble eating and sometimes breathing She is also losing strength in her arms She has herpes virus for many years. What can you suggest as a treatment I have been told that rhinacanthus root powder can reduce the amount of glutamate your body produces. Is this correct? Where can I purchase this product? It is widely used in the Bangkok uni. Regards Mr Don
If you google search "ALS herpes simplex" you'll find a number of articles on the possible connection. "Pub Med" has one such article. That article has connect with a specific type of ALS. You said that your wife did indeed have the virus long prior to the ALS onset.
The point is, if I were suffering from ALS I'd consider the possibility of a virus as either a trigger or the underlying cause of the ALS and would at least try to rid the body of the infection. I use a number of anti viruses, my favorite being Colloidal Silver; also Echinacea, tea tree oil... lots of "go to virus killers."
On the CS, I'd take orally three tablespoons daily for three months. I'd also do the CS as a nasal irrigation.
I know your wife must be very frightened. Encourage her never, never to lose hope. Same for you, "Mr Don." This is a terrifying disease to combat and I'll be praying for you to have wisdom and strength through it all.

Hello Anupam,
I see you ask Ted about ALS and I'm not Ted nor even close to his expertise but if you will allow me, I'll give you my own approach to ALS.
I believe there is evidence that ALS has at its root a viral infection in the spine, cousins to the Polio virus. The Polio virus is a "specialty" virus and in theory so is ALS. Cadaver studies were performed on ALS corpses and (as I can recall) about 80 percent of those had the virus in the horns of the spinal vertebra.
In theory, then if I suspected a spinal infection, I would use a 50/50 mix of DMSO (see Earth Clinic under Remedies) and Colloidal Silver (see Earth Clinic again under Remedies). I'd apply with a white cloth as a poultice to spinal column for thirty minutes three times a week. After a month if I'd improved at all, I'd continue for six months. I'd also drink CS daily, three tablespoons on empty stomach daily for six months to kill the virus in the rest of the body. The DMSO will carry the Silver atoms into the skin and DMSO is also an anti viral so it too will help.
This combo has worked for me for numerous "below skin" infections and, yes, it will penetrate bone. If the combo is applied to base of skull it will penetrate into the brain. If I thought I had any infection in brain I would try this combination three times a week for at least a month and judge results.
Your father is very far advanced; you said he could not walk or talk; so the approach is a long shot....but if this were me...I'd try anything at this time.

Hello Musibul,
I hope I spelled your name correctly....
but you ask a few questions on how I apply colloidal silver to myself. If I want to get CS into my spinal area I use a 50/50 mix of CS plus DMSO. The DMSO is a solvent and carrier. So the DMSO will penetrate my skin and spinal column carrying the CS with it.
I also will drink two tablespoons of CS daily to kill infections in the body.

Deanna Protocol

Hi Ted, I'm hoping you can help me out by getting back to me on your regime/treatment you have been on for the past year and how you are doing on that. My mom, who has ALS, has been on Deanna Protocol since Feb and Rilutek since April. Her arms are consistently getting weaker, she has foot drop and walking with a limp now, along with problems projecting her voice. Any input for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Sara
Dietary Changes, Supplements

My father was diagnosed with Bulbar Onset ALS.
He has been having great results with a combination of a strict gluten-free diet, no sugar, and supplements.
We did our own hair toxicology test from test country labs. His results showed he had 3 heavy metals in his system and also a deficiency of iodine and potassium. He is now using a feeding tube formula called, 'Liquid Hope' made of organic food. We have been doing green juices, ingesting 8 oz of coconut oil per day, msm powder, vit c water (bought powder form), and added filters to all our water sources.
Please test for heavy metals and test for proper liver function.
One friend has stopped his ALS symptoms by adhering to a strict sugar-free, gluten free diet and detoxing his system. We are seeing results as well.
My father was diagnosed by Mayo who promoted the Deanna Protocol..no significant changes or slowing of the disease. It seemed like a profit maker as anywhere the Deanna Protocol name was, it was followed by a trademark symbol. Our doctor had no clue what half of the supplements were and there was way too much creatine involved. Most of the DP supplements were synthetic.
Some naturopathic drs have been able to provide liver flush type treatments.
Please test for toxicity and liver function. If doctors won't do it, tests are easily purchased on amazon or directly from the website.
We had instructions and did ours at home. Don't wait for these experimental tests...because half of the people are given a placebo. It's such a waste. Diet and exercise. Keep moving and never give up!!!
Surround yourselves with supportive people, not victim-minded ill people who have already given up mentally.

I make a liposomal formula at home using bulk supplements, and a powerful sonic cleaner.
I cured my cold using this.
1. Blend
- 7 teaspoons Vitamin C powder,
- 2.5 teaspoons zinc gluconate ppwder,
- 3/4 teaspoon vitamin D3 powder,
- 12 tablespoons sunflower lecithin powder,
- 4 cups distilled water.
2. Blend for 4 minute in a high speed blender.
3. Pour mixture into a 1000 ml pyrex beaker
4. Suspend beaker in a sonic cleaner with these specifications which you can buy on Amazon: (I made a wooden jig to suspend the beaker without touching any metal) VEVOR Commercial Ultrasonic Cleaner 6L Professional Ultrasonic Cleaner 40kHz with Digital Timer&Heater 110V Excellent Cleaning Machine for Watch Instruments Industrial Parts Excellent Cleaner Solution
5. Add cold tap water to the sonic cleaner almost all the way up to the top of the beaker and turn on the cleaner.
6. The sonic energy will go from the water into the beaker and from the beaker into the mixture. I buzzed the mixture for a couple of hours, changing the water once to keep the water in the tank cold.
7. I drank one tablespoon of the mixture every hour for four hours. After that, since the cold was much better, I drank one tablspoon full about 4 times per day.
OK, I'm not sure this will work for ALS, but it sure kills the cold virus. This could be one part of a more advanced ALS regimine.
Dietary Changes, Supplements

I treated a person that came to me several years ago.
He complained that he is progressively losing control over his legs making it difficult to walk, and that he has lots of muscle twitching in his left shoulder.
Since I believe that most of the CNS diseases are caused by funguses, I treated him for candida:
Mainly - no sweet beverages or drinks of any sort ( including fruit juices) at any time.
Large amount of probiotics. Very little sugars including fruits.
Diet: as much as he wanted vegetable salad with olive oil.
Semi hard yellow cheese or camembert (made with rennet and bacteria). Green drinks (green vegetables with one carrot only). Rice (small portion). Meat that was cooked or grilled for about two hours (moderate amounts). Eggs - two to four a week. Almonds soaked in water over night. Miso soup with wakame. Nuts and seeds
Supplements: (5-6 days a week all supplements) multivitamin and minerals. + zinc picolinate 10 mg + fish oil (3 times more EPA then DHA) 300 to 500 mg + vitamin E 200 mg mix tocopherols +1000 mg lecithin + B12 (4000 microgram a week) + vitamin C 500 mg + probiotics several strains, 2 capsules 4 times a day.
(He was instructed to wear copper bracelet, but today I will replace it by using on top of the one mg of copper in the multi, 3 mg of copper twice a week separated from any other supplement).
Exercises - at least 20 minutes a day, whatever he wanted to do in order to burn up calories, preferably before going to sleep.
In few months all his symptoms disappeared and all functions became normal.
I am unable to say for sure that it was the beginning of ALS but it is definitely worth the try.

Homeopathy

For Neurological diseases, ALS, MS, etc... try Plumbum homeopathic 30 or 200, Causticum is a huge central nervous system remedy, Calcarea Carb, Arsenicum in some cases... Bryonia is another... Main ones to try though are the first two... Search "homeopathy +als or ms and read the descriptions of each remedy and find the one that fits your symptoms... I got great assist from plumbum & causticum... Calc Carb also helped.. Try to be happy because mood can affect these diseases as well.
(Midwest)
06/28/2015
Along with Plumbum or Causticum homeopathic - The Carnicom Institute who is working on Morgellons which I think might be involved in ALS - has found that Vit C and N Acetyl Cysteine (which helps create Glutathione - the chief antioxidant of all) are halting growth of Morgellons in the body - Morgs leaches iron and amino acids - which could cause your muscle weakness.., try these
Iodine

Treating ALS:
Coconut oil is fine. What you want is an overall healthy diet of real foods. No processed, no farmed fish. As wholesome and close to the land as possible. It should be a lifestyle.
The biggest contributor to mucus is dairy. Eliminating dairy from the diet would be my first go-to.
Run with this iodine and vitamin C (and take a multi for safe measure).
You need to detox. Iodine will detox heavy metals and help get systems back online. Vitamin C acts as like a shuttle service for the iodine going in as well as the toxins going out.
My father died of ALS years ago and suffice it to say - you'll get nowhere with the standard medical procedure. Rilutek is a joke.
ALS is caused by toxicity, stress, and degradation of the systems. All of which can be brought back to working order, I believe.
Dosage wise take 1-2 grams of vitamin C every 1-2 hours. Maybe stop closer to bed time as it can keep you up at night and rest is important.
Iodine you'll want to aim for around 1000 mcg. Gauge yourself at maybe half that or less. Iodine will produce detox effects that are flu like and depression.
If you're getting heavy detox symtoms just dial it back a while or take a day off.
Iodine is about the long game, it can take a year for it to do its work fully.
I like kelp as a source, because it's in its natural form with other companion nutrients that will help absorbtion. Sea weeds also have addictional detoxifying elements in them ontop of iodine.
But that's the gist of it. Health is a natural, organic process. It doesn't happen overnight and won't come from a pharmaceutical drug.
We come from nature and our road to wellness is a natural one.
Namaste', C
Iodine

ALS
Iodine tablets have improved my energy levels, lifted body temperature which runs low, helped my tired eyes and overall well being. I would add it to the list of 'musts' for ALS since I have been diagnosed with that 3.5 years ago. Also, Iodine is great for a natural heavy metal cleanse which goes hand in hand with so many health issues including candida, cancer.
The biggest thing with ALS is to stay away from medications like Baclofen. No medication will help ALS but rather will cause quicker deterioration of physical, mental, and financial health!
Baking soda taken as prescribed on the box is excellent for skin issues that won't heal and are cancerous looking. Research electrolytes and you will see what essentials are needed for our body to function.
I am 54 and going strong!
Lipid Replacement Therapy

In reply to:
Posted by Sarah (Carlyle, Illinois ) on 04/10/2013: My father-n-law has recently been diagnosed with ALS. We are having a really hard time to figure out what to do to help him. His progression is coming way to fast he is really having a tough time sleeping, problems with saliva, constipation and he is also very depressed. He has doctor appointment this Friday at the ALS clinic in St Louis. Ted, I need your help.
Sarah: I'm not Ted and cannot offer any specific recommendations, BUT I just watched an ihealthtube video of Professor Garth Nicholson of the Institute of Molecular Medicine speaking of his successes treating degenerative and chronic diseases with Lipid Replacement Therapy (LRT). He mentioned only recently using LRT in degenerative neurological diseases with success.

Medication Combinations Can Mimic ALS Symptoms

Warning
Many people who are on a combination of diabetic medications and cholesterol medication find that they develop symptoms that mimic Lou Gehrig's Disease.
I know of at least 5 women in my town who have been mis-diagnosed by their doctors. One had gotten to the point of all her muscles collapsing and her lungs and heart were stopping working. Luckily, a new young surgeon at the hospital's emerg. department realized what was happening and took her off the cholesterol medication. She went from almost comatose to up in a wheelchair in 3 days, and walking by day 5. Apparently diabetic medications or cholesterol medications by themselves are fine, it's the combination that's terrible.

My father was recently diagnosed with ALS. I still have that hope that it might not be true. He takes both diabetic medicines and cholesterol meds. Can you by any chance find out what her medications were that she was taking? And how they figured out that the combo of meds were doing it to her body?

Hi Syed,
I am sorry to hear of your probably unreported "adverse reaction" to statin drugs. For up to date information on the newest findings about how statins affect the human body, see Dr. Duane Graveline's Facebook page here:
https://www.facebook.com/Spacedoc-373791966069660/timeline/
There is also a Yahoo "Stopped Our Statin Group" you can join to feel some connectiveness, research data and awareness of the thousands of statin victims out there.
Dr. Graveline is currently doing a study on Dolichols that are blocked along the mevalonate pathway along with CoQ10 and other pathways and functions essential to repairing DNA. Cholesterol is needed by every part of our bodies, especially the heart and brain. It is inflammation that we don't want.
We would like to see the statin drug companies use some of those enormous profits to fund research to help the thousands of people like you, in fact about 25% of people taking statins, to regain functions that were lost, sometimes permanently and progressively even after statins have been discontinued, after short-term/long term statin drug use. You are not alone and every person's experience and thoughts are important in finding a solution. Take care.

My Mother was a strong woman with hardly any sugar or junk. As soon as the G.P. 's put her on Statins, her health went down hill . At age 69, she died when her Mother and Father both lived well and happy into their 80's and 90's ..... my Mum was on both Statins and Avandia and other drugs, which she probably never needed because she never needed Statins in the first place .
