We’re always happy to share additional resources and information about ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. So when we ran across a complete section about it on the AARP website, we felt a link here would come in handy.

The AARP section on symptoms is quite extensive. However, it is always best to check with a knowledgeable doctor before jumping to any conclusion(s).

First, thanks for being so patient when it comes to updating a new post for the blog. We were extremely busy moving to the new Lou Ruvo Brain Center, as well as planning for all our upcoming 2010 fundraising events.

However, we would like to bring to your attention a website that is going to help many. Healthier Lungs is a must visit for all caregivers assisting victims of ALS!

Their section, NAC Shows Benefit in ALS Studies is supported with medical documentation and the reason for us posting it here.

In our sessions with caregivers and ALS victims, the above referenced web site was brought to our attention. Again, we feel you will find valuable information. Both links open in new windows, so you can just close them when you are done and leave us any comments, questions, or concerns.

Remember, if you live in Nevada, we’re just a phone call away! See the sidebar for details.
