The Healing ALS Team

Our Team is made up of people dedicated to educating the public about those who have reversed ALS and the protocols they and others have used to slow, stop and reverse the progression of ALS symptoms. 

 

Patricia Tamowski, Producer and principle researcher for Healing ALS, the upcoming documentary film series, and co-editor of Healing ALS, the upcoming book. Co-founder of Healing Advocates, she is committed to educating the public about the true cause of disease and how to reverse it. Tish is a former software engineer and project manager. HealingAdvocates.org.

 

Alan Scott Douglas, Director of Healing ALS, the upcoming documentary film series. Scott is an Emmy Award nominee with 30 years experience at NBC, CBS and ABC as a journalist and photographer. His work has appeared on PBS, Today Show, 48 Hours, and NBC Nightly News, and includes interviews with the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev. HealingAdvocates.org. 

 

Steven Shackel, JD, co-editor of the upcoming book Healing ALS. Steve was diagnosed with ALS in 1994. He has done extensive research on the causes and solutions to ALS, known in much of the world as MND. In addition he has worked with researchers throughout the world and been personally been in contact with more than 1000 PALS. He generously shares his comprehensive knowledge of ALS at Shackel.org.

 

Kim Cherry. Kim was diagnosed with the bulbar form of ALS in 2011. His doctors gave him a year to live, two at best. With the research of his wife Kay, the expertise of several functional medical professionals, and Kim’s determination and attitude of never taking anyone’s word for anything,  Kim has reversed most of his ALS symptoms.  Kim and Kay are committed to sharing what they have learned with other PALS so they too can heal. Their story is on ALSWinners.com.

 

Kay Cherry. Kay has been instrumental in helping her husband Kim beat the odds, survive ALS and reverse almost all of his symptoms. Kay’s extensive research online along with their multi-faceted holistic approach including diet, supplements, ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, essential oils, massage, exercise, and a large dose of positive mental outlook, has been successful. Kay has put together much of the information on their website, ALSWinners.com.

 

Steve Arscott was diagnosed in 2013 with respiratory onset ALS and given five months to live. He has been working with a Naturopath and has written a short book about his experience with gemmotherapy. Although he is now confined to a wheelchair, Steve has managed to stabilize his condition by changing his diet and by ridding his body of heavy metals, bacterial infections and environmental toxins, especially pesticides. He is now working with a physiotherapist and his Naturopath to rebuild the damage caused by these various assaults. Steve continues to share the information he has acquired throughout his journey with ALS in order to support others.

 

Derek Swinnard. Diagnosed at age 45 with ALS in 1997, Derek has been seeing a homeopath since his diagnosis. He has also seen naturopaths, chiropractors and other health professionals, all of whom have helped him with testing, dietary changes, homeopathic remedies, supplements, detoxification and exercise. Derek is now in his 60’s, has now recovered about 90% of his functionality and is getting stronger. He volunteers for ALS Canada, coaches basketball, plays golf and helps others with ALS in his local area.

 

Amy Boettcher. Amy’s husband of 38 years, Tracy, passed away from ALS. She wishes they had the information on this website when Tracy was diagnosed in 2011. If they had, her husband might still be alive today. Tracy’s neurologist told him he would be in a wheelchair nine months and would be dead in four to five years. Tracy believed him and accepted his fate. Coincidentally, Tracy was in a wheelchair at exactly nine months from diagnosis and passed away in four and one-half years. Amy is determined to change the policy of neurologists giving ALS patients death sentences. She also believes neurologists should be trained to optimize liver, gut and kidney function. They should know the optimum diet and supplements for ALS patients, how to detoxify the body, stress management and mental attitude shift to optimize cell function and healing.

 

Linda Paulhus. Linda has been working in the holistic health field for 30 years and has shared research with such pioneers as Charles Brush, MD (president John F. Kennedy’s doctor) and Victor Marcial-Vega, MD (oncology researcher). She works with people internationally with research, education and referrals to homeopathic, functional and allopathic specialists. Her passion for research-based ALS treatment came after her son Brent was diagnosed with ALS in 2001 and succumbed after a 13-year battle with ALS. She feels had her son had the proper treatment for ALS he might still be alive today. She is raising money for an ALS medical center committed to using science based holistic and allopathic protocols to help PALS slow, stop and reverse their disease progression. essiac-linda-paulhus.com

  2. Hello,
    I purchased the access to the videos from the recent HealingALS conference.
    It seems the videos have not been posted or your site is failing. I have reached out several times and have not heard form anyone. I am beginning to believe this is a scam. I need someone to reach out to me immediately either for the link or for my refund. I will begin making inquiries and complaints.

    Reply ↓

    • Hi Jennifer,

      If you made the purchase for the 2022 videos they are not yet avaiable. They are still being edited. I assure you this is not a scam. Can I ask where have you reached out to several times so I can look into why no one has gotten back to you?

      Thank you

    • We are not medical professionals but we can share what others have done to slow and reverse ALS. Several people have had success with The Wahls Protocol or a paleo-type diet. A good explanation for which supplements might be helpful to start with is at http://alswinners.com. For detox information a combination of your own research and Eric Edney’s book Eric is Winning. The most important thing for your husband is doing his own research (you can absolutly assist), taking his health into his own hands and keeping a positive mental attitude. Then, when he has the basics, a holistic medical professional can be very helpful and give you tests, ideas and expertise. For the basics, check out “Where do I Start” the April 2016 blog on this site. Also read about others who have successfully healed or reversed ALS at the bottom of the home page.

    • We have raised just under $50,000 of the $130,000 we need to complete the documentary film so it is not yet complete. With the money we have raised so far we have been able to complete much of the filming and are in the process of creating short videos from the filming we have done for YouTube. We are also in the process of completing the book, which we hope will be out by the end of 2017 or early 2018. As we get more funds we will be able to do more.

        • Blanche, for holistic professionals in the Tampa area, please get recommendations from people you know or online and check reviews. For a list in your area visit functionalmedicine.org, acam.com and a4m.com and practitioners are listed by city/state or zip code. Most holistic doctors now prefer oral chelation over IV chelation because it has less potential for side effects. To get started click the “For PALS/FAL”S green button at right on HealingALS.org. That will take you to the “Where Do I Start” document which includes a lot of steps including links on how to choose a holistic medical professional and much more. Good for you for taking the first steps to reverse ALS.

  10. I have been diagnosed with ALS and am sick of everybody telling me what’s going to happen to me. I don’t accept that it is written in stone that I will be dead in 3 – 5 years. Doctors are doing nothing for me so I don’t know why I should even see them. Your site gives me hope.

    Reply ↓

    • Good for you for not listening to the doctors. With all the ALS reversals we know that doctors don’t always know best. Do check out the April 2016 blog for the basics and check out the other websites it suggests in that blog as well as the links on the bottom of the home page of this website. Keeping a positive mental attitude is extremely important too. Good luck and keep checking back on this website since we will be adding more information in the future, especially in the members section.

After 9 neurologist( including Mayo Clinic) only idiopathic perpherial neuropathy, or neuropathy primarily motor neuron, or simular diognosis. I will contribute . Maybe something will help

    • No matter what the diagnosis, the basics are the same: nutrition, supplements, detoxification, avoicing toxins, doing your own research, taking your health into your own hands and keeping a positive mental attitude. For the basics, check out “Where do I Start” the April 2016 blog on this site. Even if you do not have ALS these things can make a big difference in improving your health. People with a number of different neurological illnesses have had great success with the Wahls protocol both a book and at http://terrywahls.com. Also check out http://alswinners, vitamin page, for some of the supplements that help with neurological conditions. Once you have the basics a good holistic medical professional can be very helpful and give you tests, ideas and expertise.

  21. Hello, I was diagnosed 13 days ago as having ALS by 1 neurologist. It wa s one of the most difficult days of my life. I knew someone who had died from this a few years ago, that was my only knowledge of this condition.
    I am waiting for another neurologist apt in April and in the meantime have been taking many suppliments in the form of vit c, magnesium, taurine, antioxidants, n acetyl-carnitine, gsh, coconut oil and a change of diet. The diet is proving the hardest as even tho my diet was pretty good i find it difficult to get information on glutamate low diet. The info i have found differs and is confusing.
    I wonder if you may help me with this.
    Kind regards
    Cath
    Ps I am so grateful to have found your site.

  23. I’m curious. Is there a publication by Dr. Craig or anyone that details the “winning” dietary regimen and supplement list that the victorious ones has used? I have a dear friend who is in the late stages of ALS and he sent the links to us on Facebook. I’m trying to wrap my mind around what you all are doing. Wondering if this information is online somewhere too; so many people are using Kindle and other apps to read materials. The videos on YouTube are very compelling… just want to understand how much money you need, your plan for movie and book and your budgetary needs for the project. Thanks,

  31. Hello,
    I am a registered hypnotherapist in Alberta, Canada. One of my friends was recently diagnosed with ALS. You can see the muscles writhing in his arms. His speech is the most noticeable change. He is losing control of his tongue and throat muscles the fastest. His feet have just begun to get weaker.
    After watching a Ted Talks on how you can heal the body with your mind, I knew I had to help my friend. We’ve done a couple of sessions now on general healing with a few specifics. If there is any additional help you could add, information that I could work into our sessions for self healing I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you,

  33. Without elaborating, after 13 years of research we conclude ALS is
    A dvanced L iver S ymptoms. It is not a personal opinion but the result of ALS patients requesting a liver Sonogram [per our request. There is a reason why the fundamental cause is overlooked. The blood panel for the liver is close to 65% inaccurate. We have a treatment and detoxification plan completed. Problem: All of the funding is designated for pharmaceutical drugs such as Rilutek/Riluzole. Patients have the right to have imput and control over how their money is designated.
    [Visited medical archives back to the 1920’s. Found a treatment for the liver based on two Nobel Prize winning doctors]
