Does anyone know who I can talk to, to get this person some help. We live in the upstate New York. I have gone to Dr. H. but not sure if he could help him? I don't want to give these people false hope but any help would be great. Thanks Kim

If the person is very advanced with ALS the chances of recovery are very, very low.
Almost everyone I know who has recovered from ALS was treated for Babesiosis as well- and the over-the-counter homeopathic pill Ledum has been helpful for some- and IV Rocephin or IM Bicillin-
Orals can speed ALS people up and make them die faster.
Doc L says one of 7 survive. Locally we have had 3 of 4 but they were caught right away.
Limb onset is better prognosis than bulbar onset.
I know a lot about it if they want to call me - Even with help there is only a chance- but there is a chance and some people are responsive and go back to good lives- Best wishes, Sarah
