Ben Johnson who was healed of als (Lou gehrig's disease). Any process for effecting change must involve cultivating an awareness of what is working in our lives and what is not. It must help us deal effectively with our underlying hurts and beliefs by bringing them to the surface so we can recognize them and allow them to pass out of our subconscious pain-body. This process can take some time, so we should be willing to recognize and acknowledge our pain as it comes into our awareness. We need to be focused on the present moment.

Some of these include Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinson's disease, ALS (Lou gehrig's disease), multiple sclerosis, and Huntington's chorea. In fact there are several reasons why the brain and the nerves are especially vulnerable to oxidative stress: • Relative to its size, the brain experiences an increased rate of oxidative activity, which creates a significant number of free radicals. • The normal activity which various chemicals create to establish nerve conduction is a major producer of free radicals. • The brain and nerve tissue contain relatively low levels of antioxidants.

Too Profitable to Cure

Greedy pharmaceuticals now pursue acne relief rather than a cure for ALS (Lou gehrig's disease) or a better antibiotic. Corporate leaders know that the return on investment favors a new acne cream or a better treatment for erectile dysfunction over a cure or even an effective treatment for diabetes or any other life-threatening disease. Pharmaceutical reps and drug companies are not allowed to promote "off-label" uses of prescription drugs. However, doctors may do so. How do doctors come to know of off-label uses for prescription drugs?

Working in a small closet in his home as he developed the prototype of the shoes that were to make him a multimillionaire, he so poisoned himself with hexane-laced glue that he was initially misdiagnosed as suffering from Lou gehrig's disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS).43 As other U.S. case reports began to accumulate, not all involved hexane use on the job. A novel and alarmingly different public health thteat was arising from hexane-laced glue. Rathet than shoemaker's polyneuropathy, glue sniffer's neuropathy was becoming a prime diagnostic consideration.

Most neurological diseases do not become obvious until about 75 percent of brain cells in the affected area have died; the surviving 25 percent are extremely sick and cannot function normally, which is why treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Lou gehrig's disease (ALS) is so difficult. By the time such a disease becomes clinically evident, there just isn't much left for doctors to work with.

Severe vitamin E deficiency is quite rare, but there are a number of conditions in which low levels of vitamin E have been reported, including acne, anemia, some cancers, gallstones, Lou gehrig's disease, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin E and diets high in Vitamin E have been shown to exert a protective effect in many common health conditions, including heart disease, cancer, strokes, fibrocystic breast disease, and viral infections. Typically, vitamin E is used at a dose of 400 to 600IU per day.

One case of painful gynecomastia (enlarged breasts) has been reported involving a 56-year-old man who had been suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou gehrig's disease), and was taking 1-2 mg melatonin per day for one and a half years.51 As the signs and symptoms disappeared after melatonin was discontinued, the authors of the report suspected that melatonin caused this side effect. According to a preliminary report, blood levels of melatonin may be elevated in women with fibromyalgia (page 191).

Abnormally high levels of glutamate have recently been associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou gehrig's disease) and glaucoma. Q An estimated 2 percent of Americans have two copies of a gene for the production of a substance called apolipo-protein E4, or APO-E4. APO-E4 transports cholesterol through the bloodstream and also changes the form of amyloid in the brain. Those with two copies of the gene have a 50 percent chance of getting Alzheimer's before the age of seventy.

This is the probable scenario of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lou gehrig's disease, and possibly autism. Early on in this process, one sees damage to the mitochondria with reduced cellular energy production.266 The more glutamate, the greater the damage, and the more rapid the progression to severe dementia. When the elderly eat foods containing excitotoxic food additives, they increase their brain levels of glutamate.267 But, what about the protection afforded by the blood-brain barrier, you say?

Based on the types of brain cell injury that coQIO protects against, the scientists suggested that coQIO might be useful in the prevention or treatment of Huntington's disease and ALS (Lou gehrig's disease). It was noted that while vitamin E delays the onset of Lou gehrig's disease in mice, it does not increase survival time. Thus, coQIO, which studies show may increase survival time, was suggested as a more effective treatment strategy. In my opinion, the answer would be to use both nutrients together. CoQIO might also be effective in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Earlier, I said that excessive quantities of glutamate and other excitotoxins in the brain can result in neuron death that is associated with everything from Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinson's disease and Lou gehrig's disease (ALS), to strokes and brain injury. This destructive process depends on calcium entry into the neuron triggered by the excitotoxins. Cadmium, in tissue culture, blocks this toxicity. At first, this might seem to be a good thing, but cadmium, even in low concentrations, has been shown to reduce cell survival.
Oxidative DNA damage is found in most neurodegenerative diseases—including Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinson's disease, and ALS (Lou gehrig's disease)—as well as in cancer. A diet high in sugar causes proteins and DNA to become sugar-coated, a process called glycation. (Actually, these cellular components are not sugar-coated, but rather react chemically with very reactive sugar molecules, producing unstable molecules that generate free radicals.) In the nervous system we see a similar interaction of proteins in neurons, resulting in advanced glycation end products (or AGEs).

Early research suggested that octacosanol may help in improving amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou gehrig's disease), but this possible treatment was subsequently disproved. More recent research has focused on octacosanol as an ergogenic (exercise performance-promoting) agent. Preliminary studies have found that octacosanol has promising effects on endurance, reaction time, and other measures of exercise capacity.

Research on the role of glutamate (the group of chemicals that includes MSG) in the nervous system suggests a relationship between elevated brain glutamate levels and neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's disease and amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou gehrig's disease). In addition, there is evidence that glutamic acid kills brain cells and causes neuroendocrine disorders in laboratory animals.

It's why some diseases such as colon cancer or attention deficit disorder, which capture the media's attention, get a substantial share of government research and treatment dollars, while other diseases that receive less attention, such as amyotrophic lat-eral sclerosis (Lou gehrig's disease) and cystic fibrosis, receive far fewer dollars. It's why millions of Americans are forced to agonize over how to care for aging parents with Alzheimer's disease, or how to pay the bills for children with a catastrophic illness—and do so without depriving siblings of their needs.

When coQIO was administered to rats genetically bred to develop ALS (Lou gehrig's disease), a significant increase in survival time was observed. The conclusion by the scientists was that coQIO can exert neuroprotective effects and could be useful in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This National Academy of Sciences study showed that short-term supplementation with moderate amounts of coQIO produced profound antiaging effects in the brain. Previous studies have shown that coQIO may protect the brain via several mechanisms including reduction in free radical generation.
