I can’t cure ALS, but these things help me fight it

Original source

I can’t cure ALS, but these things help me fight itCuralysis · 1 September 2025 (opens in a new tab)

A Curalysis blog post describes one 41-year-old Australian with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called motor neurone disease (MND), who says magnesium, cannabidiol (CBD) oil, Nuedexta, red-light therapy, an electric bed, physiotherapy and massage have eased some symptoms. The writer says these approaches have not cured ALS or stopped its progression. The account is a personal experience, not evidence that the interventions work generally.

Why this matters

The report may help patients and clinicians understand which symptoms the writer says became more manageable, including cramps, stiffness, anxiety, throat discomfort and speech difficulty. It does not establish that these approaches are safe or effective for other people, or that they alter ALS progression or treatment decisions.

Limitations and context

This is a single first-person organisational blog post, not a clinical study or independent report. It provides no control group, objective measurements, sample beyond the author, or evidence that the reported changes were caused by the interventions. The post also mentions reports from other device users without presenting supporting data. Medical decisions should not be based on this account alone.
