How Can ALS Be Treated?

My daughter-in-law has ALS and has survived for 6 years. She has used nautraulpathic and other treatments to keep alive. I would love to see if she could benefit from stem call treatment but we do not have the money to help her. She is living so she can see her sons grown to 18 so they can be on their own, etc. Can anyone help?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello there I have read through your question and understand your concern. Unfortunately there is still no cure for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Though some drugs riluzole do help in reducing the symptoms and stem cell therapy is still under trial. But regular physical therapy can also help to retain her mobility. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
