ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Supportive care to help preserve function for longer
What is ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)?
ALS attacks the nerve cells controlling voluntary muscles, so strength, speech, swallowing and breathing gradually weaken over time, while the mind usually stays completely intact — which is part of what makes it so hard on patients and families. It's relentless and currently has no cure. Most people come to us not looking for a miracle but wanting to know if anything can slow things down or ease the load.
How regenerative medicine supports it
We are completely honest from the first consultation: there is no treatment, ours included, that reverses or cures ALS. What we offer is supportive cellular and anti-inflammatory therapy aimed at potentially easing the rate of functional decline and supporting quality of life, tracked against ALSFRS-R scores and breathing function over time, run in full coordination with your neurologist and palliative care team.
Treatments we would consider
Options discussed for this condition
Listed for orientation only. What is actually prescribed depends on your records.
- MSC TherapyMedical team-guided stem cell therapy using mesenchymal cells for joint, immune and whole-body recovery.
- Exosome TherapySignalling-rich exosome protocols, often combined with stem cell therapy, supporting tissue repair, recovery and aesthetics.
- NAD+ IV TherapyNAD+ infusions supporting cellular energy, focus and longevity programs.
If the evidence for treating als (lou gehrig's disease) this way is thin, we will tell you before you book — and the review is not billed.
ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) — Questions Patients Ask
Can this cure or reverse my ALS?
No, and we need to be completely clear about that from the outset — no treatment currently available, anywhere, cures or reverses ALS. What we offer is supportive care aimed at potentially slowing decline, not a cure, and we won't let you believe otherwise.
Is it worth trying if I was only diagnosed a month ago?
Many patients prefer to start supportive measures early while function is higher, since there's more to work with and preserve. It's entirely your decision, and we're happy to talk it through without any pressure to commit.
Will this interfere with riluzole or edaravone?
No, our programme runs alongside your prescribed ALS medications without interaction, and you should continue them exactly as your neurologist has directed. We coordinate with your existing care team rather than working in isolation.
How do you measure whether it's actually helping?
We track the ALSFRS-R functional rating scale, grip strength, and respiratory function at intervals, so any slowing in decline is documented rather than just felt. If the trajectory looks unchanged, we tell families that directly.
Should I keep seeing my neurologist and palliative team alongside this?
Yes, absolutely essential — we see our role as one supportive strand alongside your core ALS care team, never a replacement for it. Continuity of your existing specialist relationships matters enormously here.
