That's a laugh. What paradigm shift? The reason that it took them so long to begin using sodium chlorite is that they are all a bunch of heartless and money hungry assholes. And a good many among them are in fact stupid. People have known for close to a century that several strong oxidants such as sodium chlorate, sodium chlorite and hydrogen peroxide, were effective against inflammation. As soon as it was discovered that neurodegenerative diseases were accompanied by neuroinflammation, it should not have taken an Einstein to figure out that these oxidants should be tested on patients with those diseases. In fact, I suspect that a daily injection of a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide is probably just as effective as sodium chlorite. But nobody is going to do a trial with H2O2 because there is no money in it for them. No sir, not Neuraltus, not NuvoResearch, not Dr. McGrath, not Dr. Kuehne, not ALSTDI and certainly not the FDA.

Scientists do not use a different logic than other people. They are not a different race of people. The percentage of assholes among scientists are not less than the percentage in the general population. Scientists can be just as stupid and callous as anybody else.

"known for a century"? You got any proof of that? For years more powerful anti-inflammatories were tried against ALS and failed.

I, however, can prove that it takes years of careful work to find that a substance appears to work, and then much more testing to try to understand why as well as look for potential side effects that could make the situation worse.

You have just proven again that not only do you know nothing but, worse, you can't be bothered to go educate yourself. Would you like to continue to be pathetic or would you like to take some time to actually learn something before you pop off?

The comment above is my personal opinion. I do not represent ALS-TDI

What are you refering to, corticoids, cytostatica?

Don't just ask what scientists can do to speed up the solution for ALS or when they will do it, instead ask yourself what you can do right now to solve ALS asap.

I said "close to a century". Why are you putting words in my mouth to make a lame point? People have been doing H2O2 injections since at least 1920 in England and sooner in France where it was discovered. My point is that it is a well-known anti-inflammatory substance. Somebody (Olly maybe?) mentioned not too long ago that sodium chlorate was used successfully many decades ago to treat polio. If I had said "close to 50 years", would it have taken anything away from my point? Nope. You're just being a jackass.
This is even a better reason to try the ones that have not yet been tried. Why have they not been tried a long time ago? Again, it's because there is no money in it for the money-hungry assholes. That's why.
There is no need to understand how a drug works to test its effectiveness against a disease. Penicillin was used for many years before we understood how it kills bacteria. Aspirin is another example. Many cultures have been successfully using plant medicines for millenia without understanding how they work. The truth is that the side effects of sodium chlorite and hydrogen peroxide are well publicized. The only thing that need to be tested is their effectiveness at various dosages. You may have thought you had a point but it's only your psychosis playing tricks with your brain.
Only in your psychotic mind, Eric. Only in your anal retentive psychotic mind. LOL.

There's a dire need for an 'Alternative Symposium' for all manner of experimental therapeutics to be demonstrated.

Nemesis mentioned anywhere in a topic that it might be reasonable to people who just received a full ALS diagnostic inquiries and news ceftriaxone treatment given to any neuro-borreliosis in stage 3 can be excluded.
I find this a good idea because there is a study in the USA a few years ago revealed that at 150 ALS patients 100% of borreliosis was affected in the blood.
Here they examine the cerebrospinal fluid but is that because this bacterium is not only in the blood as far as my knowledge extends from here.
In 1988 a woman in the late stage of the AS borreliosis bacteria found my question, how could the science is so wrong then and now.
ALS is a decision from all diseases but have the impression that neurologists are often mistaken.
