ALS

ALS

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, commonly known as ALS, the Lou Gehrig disease or the popular Ice Bucket Challenge Disease is an aggressive degenerative disease that attacks the motor nerve cells of the brain as well as the spinal cord to destroy muscular movements of the human body. The literal meaning of the disease is the wastage of the voluntary muscles due to lack of nourishment.

Symtoms
Sometimes symptoms for ALS tend to be overlooked since they start very subtle. Some of them can be:

• Fasciculation
• Cramps
• Tights and stiff muscles
• Muscle weakness affecting arm or leg
• Slurred or nasal speech or difficulty in chewing or swallowing

These initial symptoms may aggravate into major atrophy causing a physician to suspect ALS. Apart from the initial symptoms, the progressive symptoms of the upper motor neuron include spasticity and exaggerated reflexes including overactive reflexes including the large toe extended upward as the sole of the foot is stimulated in a certain way.

How can GIOSTAR's Stem Cell Therapy help?

Stem cells can repopulate the damaged areas of the brain and the spinal cord, through their strong paracrine effects and differentiate into lost neurons or other damaged supporting cells to improve voluntary functions of the body.

Thus with our standardized, broad-based and holistic approach, it is now possible to obtain noticeable improvements in the ALS cases, in the symptoms as well as their functional abilities.
