ALS Kills Please Help Save My Husbands Life

Donation protected
My best friend of 47 years and beautiful husband of 30 years Ren was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease/Stephen Hawkins) last November when he was diagnosed the Dr said matter of factly with a hint of compassion you generally have 3 years to live there is no treatment we hope to manage your symptoms however at some point probably sooner then later you won't be able to walk ,talk, swallow or breathe on your own. The rest became just noise and I didn't understand what else he was saying my heart stopped and I could barely breathe, however my amazing husband said"" thank you for the information Dr I realized many years ago that the cause of death is birth".
       It's been 6 months since his diagnosis and my strong, capable husband has become weak exhausted all the time, and has lost most of the control in his left hand (he is left handed) most of the muscles in his arms (he has always had big muscular arms) and his right hand is  getting  weak  He has constant muscle spasms in his arms and intestines and his hands are starting to shake. He does his best to keep his spirits up however he is in pain all the time. This disease is moving fast and I am scared. Losing him will not only be a loss to me but to the  world.
     We realized that the only way to find something that could slow down or stop the progression of this horrible, mean disease was to  research ALS Survivors, we met and talked with some of them who have reversed their symptoms and loss of function like Kim Cherry who couldn't walk or breathe and now plays golf regularly. It isn't advertised however there are 40 people that have been documented to not only have reversed the symptoms of ALS but cured the disease. Many others have slowed the progression and reversed the loss of muscle control and nerve damage. 
      There are stage 3 clinical trials at UC Irvine and around the world where they are curing ALS and reversing symptoms with stem cells however although I found a trial with an opening my husband aged out so they wouldn't accept him. We were fortunate to find a renowned Dr in Beverly Hills that has had great success with ALS, Lyme disease and heavy metal poisoning both possible causes for ALS. We were able to meet with him although we couldn't afford him, because his nurse is the mother of a longtime student of mine,  he gave us a reduced rate for treatment which consists of, stem cells, ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and specific nutrition treatments. All of the ALS survivors have used these specific treatments some all together some using a few of the treatments. The Dr said the treatments need to be done as soon as possible because the disease is moving quickly and if he has too much nerve damage the odds of him recovering lost function will be very small and he may not be able to help.
      Ren and I are small business owners we own and run a small performing arts school. Ren is an acting coach he has mentored many kids and young adults many of them were troubled and were heading down a bad path most of them are now either working in the industry or leading happy, productive and beneficial lives. He has started a scholarship program for victims of violence helping these kids work through their PTSD  by telling their stories through the performing arts. 
      However at this point Ren is hardly able  to work so I am the only one bringing money home, the bills and medical expenses are overwhelming we have gone through our savings and are living day to day at this point our credit is maxed out,  so we can't get a loan for his treatment. I am a proud woman who has been working and making my own way since I was 15 however I don't know what else to do but ask for help to save my husband. 
    This is the man that saved my life over 30 years ago after my first husband was murdered. Ren is my best friend, partner, true love and soul mate. We would be grateful for any help you can give us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
