Mototab
Given the lack of demonstrated effectiveness, and the above-documented concerns about product safety and supplier identity and reliability, ALSUntangled does not support the use of mototab for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis…
Dean Kraft, Energy Healer
In our opinion, Dean Kraft’s energy healing lacks a plausible scientific rationale. The experiments listed on his website as proof of his being able to emit some sort of energy…
NuTech Mediworld
Now 26 months old, ALSUntangled (www.alsuntangled. org) investigates alternative and off-label treatment options in ALS using social networking tools. Our twitter and NING memberships continue to grow. To date we…
Luteolin and Lutimax
In summary, luteolin is an interesting naturally occurring bioflavinoid that has been shown to have a myriad of functions in various models that could potentially be useful in slowing progression…
Low dose naltrexone for ALS
Additional pharmacologic studies of LDN are needed to clarify its mechanisms of action. Some of its proposed mechanisms such as immunomodulation and neuroprotection could potentially be useful in ALS. However,…
Marty Murray’s Method
In our opinion, there are many serious problems with MM’s approach. First, ALSUntangled is aware of no evidence to support MM’s theory on ALS pathogenesis. No case of ALS has…
The Stowe/Morales ALS Protocol
In summary, ALSUntangled strongly recommends that patients with ALS avoid the Stowe/Morales ALS Protocol. The rationale for this exorbitantly expensive protocol is unsound. The specific treatments being used range from…
