My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2014, but was diagnosed in 2016. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Tree of Life Health clinic. It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com ). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others. ]
Totals have been counted and draws have been made!

Let's to this elegantly written heartbreaking but beautifully inspiring story by Phil Avillo about his life with ALS. Definitely worth the read.
"A malevolent mistress moved in with me permanently more than two years ago. I call her Lady ALS because even some of the most avowed enemies treat each other respectfully.
She has made her presence felt every day. She envelops and is entwined through every fiber of my body. She has wasted my muscles, leaving sacks of skin hanging loosely from my bones. She sleeps with me. She eats with me. She bathes with me. She dresses with me. She writes with me. She reads with me. She will die with me."

Garth’s journey began in July 2019 with his first symtom. After many doctors visits and tests it was determined in the fall of 2019 that he had a Motor Neurone disease but unable to define which one. We headed to our favourite winter home and let that sink in. Garth did well that winter and we decided not to return to Saskatchewan in January for our clinical visit. Then COVID arrived by the time he had his next appointment in Saskatoon it would be a virtual call at home. The advancement that summer was slow and we were able to enjoy family, walks, and Garth golfed till the final day of the season. We were told it was definitely ALS durning our September virtual meeting ... at that time it was no surprise to us. Of course the ALS has advanced and we have risen to the challenges. We Are thankful for the support the AlS Society has provided for us. ❤️🤗❤️
We also appreciate all the love and support calls and messages from our family and friends. We try to find our blessings in every day!❤️
This week we are so thankful to receive this electric wheelchair so we can enjoy getting out and about this summer 🤗
It's and this story is the perfect introduction!
