Hi,

A friend of mine just received her IGeneX WB results. She has bands 31+, 34IND and 41+ on both IgG and IgM.

She was diagnosed w/ rhumatoid arthritis 25 years ago, then with MS 10 years ago, and with bulbar ALS this spring.

I want to know if there are good LLMDs out there willing to take such patients. I would have tried with Dr. Martz, but I was told he retired.

Thanks for any help you can give. [Smile]

Julie

She lives in the province of Quebec, just above the American border (NY, Vermont, Maine).

ALS can present in what is called the "bulbar form", which first affects the neck, throat, tongue, before affecting the limbs. She can no longer talk, and she swallows with great difficulty. She only eats food in liquid form, and for that reason has lost a huge amount of weight.

I pray that it's not too late for her and that an LLMD can help stop the progression of her disease, and maybe even cure her.

Thank you...
