Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Phase 1 Study to Determine the Efficacy of Using Far Infrared Radiation for the Control, Management and Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's Disease
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, sometimes called Lou Gehrig's s Disease, or Maladie de
Charcot) is a progressive, usually fatal, neurodegenerative disease caused by the
degeneration of motor neurons, the nerve cells in the central nervous system that control
voluntary muscle movement.
This study will investigate the use of far infrared radiation for the control, management
and treatment of ALS.
As a motor neuron disease, ALS causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body as
both the upper and lower motor neurons degenerate, ceasing to send messages to muscles.
Unable to function, the muscles gradually weaken, develop fasciculations (twitches) because
of denervation, and eventually atrophy due to that denervation. The patient may ultimately
lose the ability to initiate and control all voluntary movement except of the eyes.
Observations from our research studies indicate that, far infrared rays provide energy to
the body, improve the autonomic functions of the nervous system, restore the functions of
the endocrine system, strengthen the immune system, improve blood circulation and increase
the level of oxygen in the cells and promote the regeneration of muscle cells, nerves and
brain cells.
It is hereby postulated that irradiation using far infrared, with wavelength between 5 to 20
microns, of the central nervous system, the endocrine system and the whole body could
prevent, control, manage or possibly lead to complete rehabilitation of people who have ALS.
